on DIY Will-You-Be cards

according to our wedding timeline i need to start doing mock-ups for our WYB cards....... i usually do my DIY stuff during weekends but i was extra ordinarily inspired today, lol....

here's what i came up with so far..... i was able to do two mock-up WYBs for the bridesmaids/maid of honor and only one for the groomsmen/best man.....

they're supposed to be tiffany blue but they look more like aqua on those pictures......oh well......

anyway, since these are just mock-ups, they don't reflect the actual size and shape of the final output..... this is just so i could see what a certain combination would look like..... i still have different shapes and sizes of buckles and ribbons that i could experiment on, so what you see on those pictures may not be the final design yet....
but right now i'm leaning towards doing the buckled WYB....the dressy WYB is cute but it looks more like an invitation for a sweet sixteen than a WYB.... 

those, by the way, are just for the U.S. wedding..... i need to look for another WYB inspirations for the wedding in the Philippines......... our church wedding motif is peach with yellow while the civil wedding is tiffany blue......

WYB = will you be (my bridesmaid/maid of honor  or my groomsman/best man)


p.s.
i'll post my mock-up napkin rings on my next post......

below are my inspirations.....i forgot where i got these images, if these are yours please drop me a line.....

beach wedding motif

when we went to cape may and witnessed a beach wedding there's one thing in that wedding that immediately caught my attention--a dark color motif  is not a good color for a beach wedding....

why?

the bridesmaids looked like they were wearing  black dresses (it was some kind of dark purple)  from afar specially when they are back lighted......

we figured we need to have a color that's really bright..... something that's the same color as the ocean.....or sky....or some other happy beach colors..... a color that would pop out even if it's cloudy....something that would complement the color of the ocean......

then on one of our visits in cape may, i was wearing a bright blue top and had my photo taken infront of a life saver boat that has "cape may" written on it and with the ocean as my backdrop.... and boy oh boy, that color really popped out ....... and that's when we had an epiphany, lol...... so what would be our civil wedding color motif is now?
