Wedding Ideas for Summer Brides

As summer is approaching I wanted to share some good stuff with all the future brides.  Just a note of interest... did you know October has almost surged ahead of June for the public's favorite month to get married?

I want to share with you two of our popular wedding items. One is our lavender hearts in two sizes.

The other being our rice flower candle rings.  The candle rings can double as napkin rings, or be taken home as the favors.

white double face satin

I first want to show you the beautiful lavender wreath. Ta da.

We added our own Over the Moon ribbons. We chose one in all white double face satin and the other with some orchid unwired sheer (on sale for June) added to the white double face satin.

The pictured heart wreaths, shown above, are both 11" wreaths. they would look lovely on your own front door, or on the doors of a wedding ceremony site.   Please don't discount using our smaller 9" wreaths on the windows of the wedding site, or think how pretty they would be on the mirrors, or doors in the ladies room at the reception. I love using the delicate organza ribbon along with a narrow width of double face satin on the smaller wreaths. You may want to consider using a few fresh or good quality silk flowers at the center of the bow,just a little extra touch.  Note: ( the bows have been attached using pearl head pins.)

Picture a shower gift or gift card, with one of the beautiful lavender heart wreaths attached.

Now on to the three inch  mini candle rings/napkin rings".  I like to add a 1/8" ribbon to the ring just to give it a special touch. Pictured is a grosgrain ribbon, however double face satin or sheer would be lovely as well. Remember earlier I mentioned that the ring can serve as a favor?   I would have them nicely wrapped in a basket that the guests can help themselves to at the end of the reception.

If you feel it is too difficult to add ribbons to the heart wreath or candle rings, that is something we can do for you at Over the Moon Ribbons.  Contact us.



We look forward to hearing from all of you brides, mothers of brides, maids of honor, and brides maids.

Wedding Invitations by Sydney Singer

Sydney Singer makes gorgeous wedding invitations.  She got in touch with us asking me for help finding the perfect ribbon combination for her client's wedding invitation. 

She knew she wanted a beautiful,  rich,  plum ribbon with a traditional ivory ribbon. She chose our Luxe

double faced satin ribbon in plum in an 1-1/2 inch width combined Luxe double faced satin ribbon in bridal white in a 5/8 inch width.  Double Faced Satin Ribbon Luxe is our top of the line double faced satin ribbon.  Our tagline reads, "When only the finest will do", and we think that perfectly describes it. 

The matching thank you notes, used 5/8 inch sheer in grape.

Hats off to Sydney for a creative, interesting and truly beautiful invitation.

Until the next time.

Julie's Wedding

Julie and Brian wanted a little something to spark up their program for their upcomming wedding. Julie contacted me for samples and chose light coral double faced satin ribbon in the 3/8" width. To quote Julie  " the programs look awsome", and they do Julie!!

A Beautifuly Wrapped Package

Hi everyone. I find May and June to be big gift giving months. I love to wrap packages. There was a time when I thought I would like to operate a package wrapping service, but then I thought about the time involved and wondered if, at the end of the day,  I would still enjoy wrapping packages.

This week I wanted to show you a lot of packages, but alas alack, I ran out of time, so I picked my favorite, the bridal shower package.

It is wrapped with our double faced satin ribbon, two of our sheer ribbons, two widths of ivory double faced satin, and a " pin wheel" backdrop of Luxor silver metallic ribbon.

I liked the idea of something old incorporated with the ribbon. I used a vintage sterling silver serving pieces. Two small tea cups would be a great addition, a cake or pie server, a vintage juicer, a beautiful handkerchief the bride could use on her wedding day.

The finished product has something old, something new, something blue. I missed the borrowed, so if you have ideas on the borrowed aspect, e-mail me.

When wrapping a package you want the recipient to say "It's too pretty to open!"  I think a beautifully wrapped package adds excitement to the gift. It's so much more fun , and it says I care about you, rather than giving a gift in a paper bag and saying excuse the wrapping. ( That happened to me, I won't name names.)

In order to make a bow, refer to my Christmas video on You Tube on how to make a bow for a wreath. same process, different ribbons and sizes.

Now I need to see your pictures, and hear your creative ideas.  Feel free to send your pics here
