Paper Crafts: Wonderful Wedding Program

Wonderful Wedding Program

Brought to you by Bernina

A wedding is one of the most special days of your life and provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a wedding program that is both unique and personal. Plus you can recruit your friends and family to help which will make your wedding day even more meaningful. The program will be placed in the hands of all of your guests, so what better place to customize and add your own personal touches than in its creation? Tag shaped pages, printed in the font of your choice, and bound with a metal chain are nested in an elegant and fun holder that is embellished simply, with the paper of your choice and crowned with a self-adhesive gem stone. Every guest will leave the ceremony with a little remembrance of your wedding, hand made by you.
