Wedding Dress Label

Picture
From Etsy Seller MondeDesign.  I decided on including my full maiden name and wedding date.  I can't wait to have my seamtress sew it into my dress!

HISTORY OF THE WEDDING DRESS LABEL

In the 20’s and 30’s, couture gown designers starting designing personalized labels for their clients, and attaching them inside the gowns. Now brides can use this special touch to make wedding gowns truly their own. When the tradition of labels for wedding gowns started, it was seen as the last time a bride would use her maiden name. So the bride’s full maiden name and wedding date was sewn into the gown.

These labels are sewn into your wedding gowns lining at the hem, or inside the top of the gown, where a typical clothing label would go. They can be sewn in any color, but are most commonly done in blue for the traditional “Something Blue.”  After the wedding, the label becomes a memento for future generations to have the name and date from the day the dress was worn. This is a special touch for a dress that will be handed down. And if you decide not to keep the dress, the label can be removed, and kept as a memento of the gown-perhaps to be placed in your wedding scrapbook, next to a picture of the dress.

Signature Cocktails

We have to decided to make the signature drink interesting.  Since my family is from Boston and are all Sox fans and his family is all Yankee Fans...we will have The Green Monster and The Bronx Bomber as our drinks...where's your allegiance lie?

Matchbooks

Got them from The Knot and thought they were cute and would go perfect with our cigar bar.  I also bought the embossed bowl from Pier1 to put the matches in.
