ribbon wands

[mandalaybay3071]

Hi girls! We are getting married on the beach and since it's always windy on the beach I have ruled out rose petals to throw as they will probably just take flight and fall to the side. I don't think bubbles are my thing so I'm thinking about doing ribbon wands. My question(s) is has anyone used them for their wedding and do you have pics? Did you order them? If so, where? If you made them yourself do you have instructions on how to assemble? Thanks!!

What a cute idea!

 

I found the instructions you need to make your own:

DIY Ribbon Wands

 

Here are a couple picture I found on google images:

 

 

Not a wedding but I love the how its colored:

 

By the way, noticed your username. Are you getting married in Vegas by chance? My FI LOVES Vegas! Has ever since he was a kid. We actually were considering having our wedding there at one point.

I ended up using rose petals and they were fine.

 

My original plan was to use streamer cups:

But, they were a little pricy and you can end up getting tangled in the ribbons.

LOVE this idea!! I think I may vary it to incorporate with the sandalwood fans I have ordered! (Add to Cart) I may fix the ribbon (personalized with our names, location & date!) to the end of the fans & use them as the dowels!! Oh my...I'm so excited!!!

Wow very cute idea, wonder what would travel better the sticks for these or bubbles?

As far as the wands traveling....a friend suggested buying one of those hard wine gift bag/holder type things......wow, i just can't seem to find the word I'm looking for. In other words, it's basically a hard canister. She said to buy one of those or two depending on the number of wands you make and put all the wands in there - that way, it protects them from getting broken in your suitcase. Not sure about bubbles....we are putting all our decorations, oot bags, etc in one suitcase so I would be worried about putting any liquid in my suitcase.

This is a great idea. I was trying to think of something else also besides the bubbles, but I'm not for sure what to do.

This is such a cute cute idea and will look great in pictures (which is what counts the most, right).
