karma: 3 |  DIY Memory frame for flowers (pic)
Jean M offers a great frame that you can add to your bouquet but I just can't imagine dropping $24 plus shipping ( I need 2) So I started looking into making my own.
I will give you all some details just incase you want to make your own.
Here is the end product. One photo is of my father who passed away when I was 17 and the other is Chris' brother who died in a car crash when he was very young 
The frames that are sold specifically for this purpose cost more than buying just this simple bracelette. I pulled the frames apart. They are made by blue moon beads and you may be able to find them for cheaper than I could. I got these at Michaels. 
Then there was the extra loop left at the bottom so I took a wire cutter and trimmed it and then had to file it a little to get rid of the extra metal 
This is what they look like close up 
This is the final product:   |

Steph, I love those! What a super idea! I was looking @ Jean M's site and couldn't justify the price either. You are the bomb, kiddo. I can't wait til your wedding to see all of your work come together!
