Product Description
For every bride frustrated by the exorbitant costs and uneven quality of available wedding accessories, this book provides a smart, sophisticated alternative! Jacquelynne Johnson shows how to make a wide variety of elegant (and highly affordable!) personal accessories for the bride, wedding party and attending friends and family.

Readers will find 20 fun, fabulous projects inside. Each one is inexpensive and easy-to-make, using nothing more than simple embellishing techniques and a glue gun. And while the vast majority are "no-sew," those requiring a little needle and thread can be mastered by beginners in minutes.

Projects include:

-Wearable accessories, including bridal veils, headbands, shawls and handbags

-Creative embellishments--add beads, ribbons, craft flowers and lace to store-bought items such as gloves, shoes and hosiery

-Wedding accessories, including a ring pillow, flower girl basket, unity candle and toasting glasses

-Gifts and keepsakes, including memory quilts, a keepsake box and a wedding portfolio

Each project is illustrated with clear, step-by-step photographs and instructions--all the information readers need to create a memorable, magical wedding at half the cost!

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice wedding-idea book w/Great possibilities!, February 20, 2008

By	A. J. Reis "Creative Gift Corner" (Cheyenne, WY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just received this book, and upon looking it over, I'm SO excited to get started making beautiful wedding accessories. The projects look very easy and classy, while also appearing to be cost effective (to make rather than buy already made) and creative.

Perhaps you won't use every craft just as it's pictured, but you'll probably either create something VERY close to it or you'll come up with something perfect for your special day by the crafts offered.

If you want to add YOUR special touch to your wedding, then I recommend this book to help you achieve that goal!
