Details - Dress label

I left loads of things until the last minute. I do NOT recommend you do this.

One thing I only thought of in the last month was having a label for the inside of my dress as my something blue. I ordered one through Initial Impressions on etsy.com on the 9th of December. What with Christmas postage madness it landed in my letter box the day before my wedding! My mother actually sewed it in on our wedding day. Talk about last minute!

But I love how it turned out.You can put whatever you want onto the label and pick the thread colour. Ours said Mr B married Miss T December 31st 2009. It was only $13.Sample image from etsy
If I was more organised I would have also ordered a label for the inside of Mr B's tux and the groomsman's tux's as they were their gifts from us. They are made small enough to go on the back of a tie.How cute are they! $13 for two!


What's your something blue?


This is not a sponsor post, I paid full price for my label. I WISH I had sponsors wanting to give me things! Just sharing the vendor love.

I love this idea - especially if you get one with the blue stitching - it can be your something blue. Plus it is something you can take out of your dress and pass down to daughters/granddaughters.

Sarah said...

Cate Subrosa said...

That is a really cute touch!

Gaynor said...

Thats such a good idea.

My something blue is going to be those I DO rhinestones for your shoes, altho im also wearing a sapphire ring which was my grandmothers.

Liz said...

it's all in the little things, isnt it?

Salt said...

I've never heard of anything like this before and it's such a great idea!! Now I wish I had known before the wedding. I assure you that I would have been last minute about it too.

My something blue was a teeny little blue bow on the inside of my garter. :)

Love it! Hmm, what was my something blue? Perhaps the shades of blue from the crystals on my dress?

ruthyann said...

I love those little labels! Love! I've never seen the tie labels before, but those are awesome too. My "something blue" is a little blue feather on my garter. But I may need to get one of those labels, too ;)

So super cute! And I love that you put 'Miss T married Mr B' - so perfect!

I have an old costume jewelry brooch that belonged to Mr Fix It's mother who passed away when he was in his 30's. It has some blue stones in it that will be my something blue. I am having my florist place it on my bouquet somewhere :)

I hadn't even thought of that before. Great idea.

Great idea! My something blue is a small bow on the back of my garter.

Tree said...

I didn't want to do the "old, new, borrowed, blue" thing. I happened to be wearing blue, but because it was one of the colors on my headpiece! I had blue and green feathers. :)

So cute! My something blue was on my garter. Not very original but I did love it :)

I like the ones for the blokes. It will be a nice souvenir for his suit!

I don't have a something blue yet - because I don't have a ring yet but I LOVE this idea. It's really cute.
