Embroidered and Personalized Custom Wedding Ideas

• The Surprise Proposal

Rebecca suspected something was up when her boyfriend suggested they go away for a long weekend to a romantic destination. Every time they went to dinner she wondered, "Is he going to propose?" But he didn't.

She was rather disappointed when they boarded the plane to return home. Her boyfriend slouched down in his tiny airplane seat and prepared to go to sleep. But he was restless. He rang the call attendant button and asked for a pillow.

When the flight attendant returned with a pillow he had slouched all the way down to one knee. He took the pillow and asked Rebecca to marry him. Tucked in the little pocket (and tied securely with the ribbon!) was the ring of her dreams.

When they de-planed both families were waiting with flowers and balloons to celebrate the new engagement.

Peg worked closely with the client to define what he wanted and to fabricate this pillow. She sourced the materials, made the pillow, and sent it off to its romantic work.

• Matching Personalized Flower Girl Basket

The flower girl's dress was hand made to match the colors of the wedding. Peg then took the remaining lace and trim and crafted the custom basket shown here, embroidered with the bride and groom's name, and the wedding date. It remains a charming keepsake of their very happy day.

• Personalized Wedding Gift Box

The wedding guest had hand-knit a lovely blue angora afghan blanket for the newlyweds. However, she was concerned about keeping this gossamer gift looking its best, and wanted a first-class presentation.

Peg matched the embroidery thread to the blanket and embroidered the white lining. She then hand-inserted the lining to the top and bottom of the simple wicker lidded basket. The newlyweds were thrilled with the gift, and keep the blanket, and its basket, in a conspicuous place on the hearth in their formal living room.

• Personalized Wedding Nightie

The bride's sister found a beautiful negligee in France that needed only one more touch to make it perfect. The nightie was made sweeter with the addition of matching personalization by Peg which coordinates perfectly with the roses, the bride's spring wedding theme.

• Personalized Bridesmaid's Spa Towels

Off to the spa!
The bride found towels with a gingham border, which coordinated with her black and white gingham bridesmaids' dresses, and even better these towels were available in each bridesmaid's favorite color. The coloration was thoughtful, but this bride wanted things more personal still. She contacted Peg and sent in the towels to have the bridemaids' names embroidered on the bath towels and hand towels. After Peg sent back the personalized towels the girls were off to the spa for a day of girl-time to remember, and a beautiful towel to remember it by!

• Personalized Bridal Party Slumber Party

Another Spa Day, this one was hosted at the Bride's house. The Mother of the Bride knew all the bridesmaids nearly as well as the Bride herself did, and she wanted to make the slumber-party spa-night special. She contacted Peg to have these custom spa towels and slippers made up. She called Peg to thank her when they arrived - she was so impressed!
