Monica & Tuan

I've come to the realization that there are a few details that most people will most definitely miss on the wedding day. One of those details is our ringbearer's pillow. It's quite the DIY feat for me as I am not a sewer ... in fact I'm quite bad at it. So knitting, sewing, and stuffing the ring pillow was challenging to say the least. But I absolutely love the end result (though it's far from perfect).

As you can see, I sewed on pink buttons at each corner and in the centre of the bow. It's this button on the bow that I think is most unique!

Yup, the button is engraved with our names and wedding date. Funny thing is that these engraved buttons are actually made as a child safety product. They're like ID bracelets that are sewn onto your child's clothes so if they are ever lost their name and a contact phone number are always on them. So I ordered a pack of pink buttons, with our names and replacing the phone number with our wedding date ... and voila, instant personalized ringbearer's pillow!

Oh and while our actual wedding bands can be seen in the photo (not sure if I've blogged about those before), they won't actually be carried on the pillow. The best man will actually have the rings for safekeeping.
