Save the Dates
I made my own save the dates in about a weeks worth of night work. I just bought card stock and ribobn in my colors and a couple punches. I cut the card stock to the size I wanted, and formatted the printed portion on my computer. I punched the papers as shown and used spray adhesive to put them together.
The bow is done by pucnching two holes and tying it through them.

bouquet Wraps
I ordered my silk flowers online but felt they were plain. So I did a wrap in cornflower ribbon and then did a french knot wrap over that in the the same color. I added the bow and rhinestones for an added touch. I just used ribbon, flat back rhinestones, and a hot glue gun.
Flower Girl Bucket
I knew I didn't want a plain basket for my country feel. So I bought a plain medal pale and wrapped it in hemp. I added the wribobn and moss to tie it all together.
Ringbearer Pillow
For this one I wanted some color, so I bought a quilting square of fabrice and sewed the pillow. I added the ribbon stipes and stuffed it with batting. Then I glued the bow on top.
Program Basket
I was lucky enough to find this for 50% off at Michael's! I added the ribbon and wrote "Programs" on the little chalk board that was attached.
Card Box
I wanted something fun for this. I will put my engagement photos in there once we get them.

Guest Book
For the guest book I was lucky enough to find a scrapbook that had a perfect design. I just added the ribbon and monogram.
Hangers
Yes... I did the hangers too! I couldn't pass up the awesome photo op. they give.
I used 14 gauge sheilded copper wire.

My necklace and Bracelet
I made these by just experimenting. I bought all of the supplies an Michael's. I made earings I will have to post later.
My vases!
These are one of my favorite! I bought plain vases at Michael's. I wrapped the bottom in hemp and layered ribbon. I added a rinnon trim at the top. For the monograms I ordered Vinyl Decals from Etsy and stuck them on.
The flowers are silk and from Michael's. I just followed the same directions used for pomanders. I just didn't put flowers all the way around the styrofoam balls. I stopped where they meet the vase rim.

Centerpieces
This is a mock of my centerpieces. They each have 4 small votive. I bought those at Michael's in packs of 16. They are wrapped in hempp and ribbon to match the vase. I am using white linens and instead of an overlay I will use quilting squares. They are all Khaki with white designs. I have a total of 4 designs. I felt it added to the country mismatch feel.
Invitaion
I bought a premade set at Michael's. I printed my monogram on the main part and added a velum overlay for the verbage. All tied together with a bow. This all get inserted into pocket folds.
