Hi , Im a newbie too ! My ceremony /reception site includes in their price the linens , center pieces ( they arent real flowers but they are still very pretty lol) top shelf bar , all the food , wedding cake , the arch etc . But I want to do my own favors , I was thinking little boxes or tins w the monogrammed sticker labels ... IDK what Im going to put in them yet ?? and I was wondering about doing my own flowers but Ive never done anything like that before so Im kinda afraid to try it ? I think if you did your own veil , that would be cool , it would mean more to you that way . They have veils for cheap at walmarts and what not if you wanted to do a test run . Im also making my bridesmaids jewelry , Ive been making bracelets for a yr now just for fun , but I have made bracelets using the swarvoski crystals and they came out really pretty . Its actually really easy to do and very inexpenseive !! The sights listed above that " ilovebeef " posted are really good for deals and great prices .
