Beaded Bookmark!!!

Sébastien and I got married in Punta Cana back in 2008.  Since we had a ''Destination Wedding'' we didn't want the wedding favors to be too big and they absolutely had to travel well.

We decided bookmarks would be great and this is what we came up with:


I made the bookmarks in our wedding colors.  The pink bookmarks went to the ladies and the aqua bookmarks went to the men.


Pretty cute, don't you think?



Everyone loved the bookmarks!!  Bookmarks make great wedding favors even when you're not having a destination wedding.  :)

Sébastien, Gabrielle and I on our wedding day:


And of course... you can't have a destination wedding without a TRASH THE DRESS session:


I didn't do a step-by-step of the bookmarks, however if you have ANY questions, please ask away :)

Have a GREAT day!!!







P.S. I'll be linking to these Parties.

Those are very nice. I love bookmarks. Lots of people don't even read from a real book any longer, but I still love holding a real book. I have a nook and enjoy it too, but not so much for reading my books.

Lisa @ Flour Me With Love said...

Thank you so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday and I hope you'll stop back soon :)

Christine said...

Thanks Lisa!!! You're soooo right about that! I was never much of a reader.. however, now I do enjoy reading a lot more :)... but from real books :)
