Wedding Decorations Using Ivy, White and Silver?I am getting married in April of this year. My colours are white and silver. I plan to create an ivy headress, and would like ideas of CHEAP ways to decorate the room, using ivy, white, and silver! Any ideas for wedding favours would also be gratefully received, and ways to use Ivy (and my colour scheme) that I haven't thought of. It is an intimate gathering with only four tables to decorate. Many many thanks!

Making Keepsakes for Bridesmaids?I have two slightly-stained white-satin wedding dresses that I purchased at yard sales. Both dresses are full-skirted and have attached net slips and train. I also have the veil for one dress.
My daughter is getting married in June and I would like to make keepsakes for her bridesmaids from some of this material, perhaps incorporating some of the beading, pearls, and lace trim.
I need ideas and patterns. Thank you. - Belinda
Party with Victorian Wild West Theme?My cousin is getting married and I am throwing the bridal shower, but we have all been to a million showers with the same old tired schedule and no creativity. She works at an art college and threw me a fantastic Mad Hatter tea party for my baby shower. I want to do something as fun and creative for her shower that goes along with her Victorian Wild West themed wedding invites. I am looking for a company that will come in and take old fashioned pictures but want other ideas that won't make it look like a hoedown theme...

Looking for Monetary Gift Instructions?I was recently at a flea market and a woman was selling money gifts. The gifts were along the line of the money tree but one was a shirt with a bowtie in a cardboard box made from $5 and $1 bills. The other was flowers (with stems) made from money also. Does anyone have instructions for making these type of monetary gifts? I will be attending a wedding shower shortly and would like to give something similiar as a gift.
