After my recent engagement (which I never got around to blogging about- I should do that soon!) I was overly-excited to get the planning process started as soon as possible. I created an account on theknot.com to research vendors and started pinning to my 8+ Pinterest wedding boards like a mad woman. But considering that it was only December and I still had one last semester of my junior year to focus on, the planning had to be done solely online until my summer break. I spent those six months taking virtual tours of my favorite venues and browsing Maggie Sottero's website for my dream dress. My enthusiasm to plan had to be capped until May.
That brings us to today! Once I returned home for my summer break I immediately began checking off boxes on my wedding checklist. First up: ask my bridesmaids. I knew that I could make the vision that I had in my mind come to fruition once I had all the materials, which meant taking a trip to my two favorite stores: Target and Michael's. At these stores I was able to find all of the materials that I needed to create and fill the boxes, except for the personalized necklaces and cards. I've linked all of the items seen in the boxes below!
Michael's
- Wooden Boxes
- White Spray Paint
- Gold Alphabet Stickers (I couldn't find the gold ones online, but these are the same font)
- Pink Tulle
- Rosey Glitter Paper
- Mini Clothespins
- Ranunculus Fake Flowers
- Gold Letter Paperweights
Target
- Ferrero Rocher Chocolates
- EOS Coconut Lip Balm
- Easy Going Sinful Colors Nail Polish
- Navy Streamers
- Gold Cord- dollar section
Extras
- Cards- printed at Walgreens
- Personalized Initial Necklaces- Made by Mary (her products are gorgeous and dainty, but long-lasting; would absolutely recommend!)
My girls loved their boxes and all said yes! June 3, 2017 cannot come soon enough.
