That's a great idea. The cork makes for easier transport.
I have been looking at the sets and they are like $45, good
way to save a bit.

I love the idea of the sandframe. I will check with the FI (he probably won't care either way) and then order. Thanks for the info.

why don't you use your wedding invitation if you don't have epics? that would be a nice keepsake as well.

i love the idea of a frame over vase. how do people transfer the vase back from DW with sand in it?

Question, how do you girls plan on taking them home? My mom brought that up and I didn't have an answer..I thought just carry it on but it will still probably get shaken up.

Journey to the Aisle and Beyond: Sand ceremony trial

 

That's a great link for the DIY girls. You just buy a frame from Kohl's (called an Umbra Ether frame) and they have deals on it frequently from what I've read. It's not as customized as the ones you can get from Sandframes, but it's cheaper if you feel like DIY-ing this project.

 

I'm still thinking about it; my mom keeps trying to find stuff for use to use, but I'm not sure what I want yet. I know you can wax seal the top of a vase, but I'm afraid I'll make a mess and it won't look good at all. Plus, I'm concerned about getting it home; I know girls tape plastic wrap and all sorts of stuff over it, but still I'm not sure. I think I just typed enough to make me want to do a frame for the ease of it!

thanks for posting links to the DIY sandframe ... i saw that a long time ago but ruled it out since i didn't think i had a good pic to use. a few of you suggested using my invitation, which i think is a great idea, so it looks like i'll be adding this to my DIY list now!
