FINISHED: Wedding Card Box

Traditions have never been really our thing.
We looked at various wedding card boxes, but none of them suited us.

After a little brainstorming...a little sketch...a mini trial run...a false start...success.

The mini prototype version was made out of textured white cardstock and green painter tape.

The main Wedding Card Box is made out of a cardboard box and clear duct tape.

 The white textured satin was adhered to the box frame with Sookwang double sided tape.

 The lining is simple colour printed paper with Richard's name, my name and our wedding date.

 The different pieces have been properly covered and lined.

 The sides of the box has been stitched by hand together, along with the front pouch and pouch zipper. The start of the side handles have been temporarily adhered on with Sookwang double sided tape.

 The 2 zippers was adhered to the top of the box with Sookwang double sided tape, then hand sewn.

The Vancouver Canucks Rink Logo was created from cardboard and covered with the white patterned satin and adhered to the front pouch with Sookwang double sided tape.

This is the completed Wedding Card Box, which includes the front pouch, the two side handles, and a shoulder strap.

FINISHED: Garter

My wedding garter is ready.

I went shopping at a fabric store and picked up all the lace, ribbon, and elastic strap I needed.

With a little sewing on mom's sewing machine and voila...it is completed.

The finishing touch was attaching a Vancouver Canucks Orca Logo charm.

DESIGNED: Wedding Cake

We always knew that we would be using the Swarovski bears Richard got me for our wedding cake topper...

As for how the wedding cake would look like, we were still undecided...until I saw this cake design...

From that cake design, I finally decided to do a play on it for my cake, that would incorporate Richard and my love for the Vancouver Canucks...

Basically, the idea is the white wedding cake would be like the white wedding dress, but if you lift up the skirt you would see the Vancouver Canucks represented...

Flora, our friend who will be making our cake loved the idea and came up with a mock design of our cake...our will however be a 5 tier cake...

We will reveal the cake on the wedding day!
