Ring Bearer Pillow & Garters


My parents came into town this weekend. My mom and I ran around getting fabric, ribbon, lace, flowers, and all sorts of goodies to make my ring bearer pillow and garters. Then we got to work.


My mom sewed the 8 inch by 8 inch pillow.
It was pretty basic, only we added the 2 inch pink, satin ribbon and 1 inch white, satin ribbon on the front of the pillow. We also added 2 inches of white ribbon on the backside of the pillow for the ring bearer to hold onto {keep that in mind!}. I attached the two ribbons and rhinestone button to the pink peony with hot glue. Then I attached the pink peony to the pillow with hot glue.

My mom also sewed the garters.


For my "something blue" and lace keepsake garter, she used 2 inch antique white satin ribbon, lace, 3/8 inch light blue satin ribbon, and 3/8 inch elastic.

I love it! And, it was so much cheaper than my $78 inspiration garter!


For my university-themed toss garter, she used 1.5 inch white grosgrain ribbon, 3/8 inch red satin ribbon, and 3/8 inch elastic. I love this one, too! I'll slip it in before the garter toss. Like the keepsake garter, it was much cheaper than the $58 inspiration garter!

  9. Very Adorable! I'm assuming the flowers are artificial. Good reminder about the extra to hold onto.
