Steal Worthy Idea

There is a lot of debate about the groom seeing the bride before the wedding day. Some couples really like the tradition of the first look being as the bride comes down the aisle. But recently, a lot of couples have been opting to see each other before the wedding and have been coming up with some really unique and special moments. I'm pretty sure this hanging quilt is one of the cutest reveal ideas ever! It is so fun and personal and makes for an adorable photo op!



Also, the results for the Williams-Sonoma $150 gift card giveaway! 
Thanks so much to everyone who entered, I loved seeing all your favorite things!

"I have wanted one forever! I have just gotten into baking and need to stock my kitchen with everything I need for the adventure to come! My husband and I eloped so we are having a housewarming party/reception at our home to fill our kitchen!" 
Congrats Courtney! I will be emailing for your info soon!

  5. Thanks for the comments. I (the groom) used a hollow curtain rod that had rubber end caps and jute string for the frame. The quilt was made by my wife's late, great aunt and her mother helped us sew a sleeve on the back of the quilt. Then the jute was thrown over a limb and the tassel was attached to finish it off. Cost about $5 all together.
