Sample Ideas include: Stationery: Save-the-date cards do double duty when printed on vintage kitchen towels or delicate handkerchiefs; The Gown: Ask your seamstress to incorporate a pocket into your gown, you won't regret it! It's a perfect place to stow your vows, some mints, or a tube of lipstick; Bouquet: Create a brooch bouquet of inherited or found costume jewelry; mix with fresh or silk flowers.
