Ribbon DIYs for Your Wedding {or home!}

Midori Ribbon sent me a few beautiful samples this week and I decided to get busy putting those pretties to use. Ribbon is such an underrated accessory - it can really transform and elevate a piece. And it's a great, affordable option whether for your home or wedding. Hope my few ideas are able to inspire some simple DIYs for your big day!

My absolute favorite sample was this black and white striped Ascot ribbon. It's wired which is so helpful in creating shape and depth. I originally thought it would be perfect for a vintage beaded belt I had {below} but the ribbon was just a tiny bit too skinny. So, instead, I fancied up a gal I had sitting at my bar {I found the pretty bust at a tiny vide grenier during a day trip in France ... boy, do I miss those days}. I love the contrast of the modern stripes against the chippy patina of the bust! And I think a fancied-up bust like this would be gorgeous decor at a garden wedding - can't you see it??

And I had enough left over to create a little something special for my new friend, Maxwell:

Doesn't he look dapper ... he's ready for a black tie wedding, no doubt.

And if I get tired of the striped look, I could swap it out for this classic checked taffeta ribbon.

And I adore how this Dupioni Silk Ribbon in Corazon looks against my vintage beaded belt. It's still a little short on the width but I might be able to make it work. I think it would look pretty delicious with a full black-and-white skirt for the holidays.

Loving the regal twist of this Velvet Ribbon in Evergreen around one of my French demijohns.

ps. I have several I'd be willing to sell if you're interested ... they'd be beautiful aisle markers at a beach wedding! Just e-mail at theclassicbride@gmail.com for more details. ;)

And, lastly, I was inspired by Pinterest to transform my European charm bracelet into a necklace using this checked taffeta ribbon in black and red. How fun!

Thanks to Midori for sending me these pretty samples. I had so much fun putting them to use!
