You should see if there's a sewing shop (not Joann's) near you that might be able to program the "B" into their embroidery machine and make it for you.

But if I make a B out of fabric (felt, maybe), I can keep it. I'm 100% sure I won't keep the ribbon wrapped around the stems.

I'm not throwing my bouquet, because there will be a grand total of 4 unmarried women there. But I might just give it to Tim's oldest niece, who is thisclose to getting engaged. And then I can tell her to return the critter to her grandpa's house. But I'd have to keep my B.

Tep, we didn't throw the bouquet or garter. I didn't even wear one. Instead, we had an anniversary dance--all married couples on the dance floor, then eliminating those that had been married less than five years, ten years, etc. until one couple remained and I gave them a smaller version of my bouquet. (I dried mine.)

Oh yeah, I'm not wearing one either. Nothing is getting tossed at the wedding. Knowing us, it would lead to head trauma.

I've been to weddings that do that, and I think it's really lovely.

No, I meant have it done on separate fabric, not the ribbon.

Because if it is embroidered, you won't have to worry about it raveling and or cutting it very delicately.

Oh! Duh. I'm glad you clarified that (I am so not-craft-oriented that I just don't even think of certain options). I'll have to check out that possibility.

How much do I love this? Thiiiiiiis much.

And if my anecdotes are unhelpful, please tell me. I don't want to be giving you more stress.

Tep - I called one sewing shop in Cincy - Silk Road - but they don't have embroidery machines that they use that way, but they did give me the number of a woman who does as her business. Wanda Green 513-884-8247

Also, she said that Kramer's in Montgomery might also do it and their number is (513) 891-5005.

Also, you might want to shoot Val a message. I know her mom has an embroidery machine and I think her shop might, also and will probably help, too.

Aims, you are awesome!

As are you, Maria! Your anecdotes are the opposite of unhelpful!

Teppy, what size would you want it? I have a contact I could try.
