Wedding Wednesdays - Tulle Wrapping

Hello again! For this week's post, I thought I'd go with something "old" that's "new" again - tulle netting. Yes, it's has been around for what seems like forever but weddings and tulle just naturally seem to go together. This time, though, we're using tulle to wrap up attendant gifts and out-of-town guests' gifts-

For your out-of-town guests- here we have a plain white gable box that gets dressed up with a colourful dose of tulle. With so many different colours of tulle to choose from, it's easy to co-ordinate with your wedding colours.

Use tulle when you want to keep boxes together for presentation - what guest wouldn't love to receive these boxes, filled with goodies, in their hotel room?

Here's a fun way to give your attendant gifts - after you've covered the box with fun patterned giftwrap, wrap the whole box in white and lime tulle to soften the look.

In this sample, we used one of our Mod boxes, in the Boogie Blue colour, and wrapped the whole box up with the 24" wide white tulle and then added a simple white satin "Cheater Bow".

Well, that's it for this week's Wedding Wednesday post - check back next week when I'll be featuring some recent wedding invites that we've done. See you then!

Wedding Wednesdays - New Envelopments Favour Boxes!!



UPDATE

I know I haven't done a Wedding Wednesday post in a while so when I saw the new Envelopments favour boxes I knew I had to do one! These boxes are so beautiful! But they don't have to be just for weddings - you can use them for baby showers, anniversaries or for small special gifts. Here's a sampling of the favour boxes in some new Envelopments patterns-

So elegant - this "tarte" box is a perfect size for 4 small truffles, a couple of yummy cookies or a piece of brownie... yum! I also LOVE this new Damask pattern (nice colour combination, too!)

Can you say, "sweet tooth"? This super cute cube box is called the "Bon-Bon" shape and I personally would love to receive any kind of bon-bons in this box! The swiss dot pattern is classic and elegant and would be suitable for any event or occasion.

Now this is unique - if you want to make a statement with your favours, then this is the one to go with! This "pyramid" shape would be perfect in any colour or pattern; just add a touch of ribbon at the top (like we did) and you're done.

The "take-out" box shape has always been fun but this one is a bit more refined - by removing the handles, Envelopments has made this take-out box ideal for a more sophisticated event.

I really like this "wedge" shaped box because it's actually the right size to fit a slice of cake! Adding a ribbon in the same colour as the box is so chic!

This new favour box is the "clutch" shape. I also liked this one (don't I like them all?!) since it would be well suited to slightly taller items or odd shaped treats. This shape lends itself to ribbon treatments very easily.

Finally, we have the "pillow" shape box. Pillows are always nice for candies and sweets but would also make a nice presentation package for gift cards (think of attendant gifts).

Well, that's it for now! I'll be adding more photos as our new samples roll in so keep checking back! Thanks!
