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.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.
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!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Teppy, what size would you want it? I have a contact I could try.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I bought the last item I needed for this trip(Less than a week until we leave! Agh!), then I bought a pina colada Julius. Yep, I go by the reward system...
