Hello ladies, I love the custom wedding dress hangers and considered buying mine from etsy, but couldn't bring myself to pay $20+ knowing I could make it myself for only a few dollars each. A couple l

So, I finally finished all 7 hangers. It was a fun project so I may continue making them for friend and family bridal showers in the future. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/content/type/61/id/16

I have FINALLY finished my hangers. I decided not to go with the flowers on the hangers and used sparkly devals and half pearls from the dollar store instead. Would love to hear what you guys' think!

Wow! This is beautiful. If you attach it to your hanger I think it will be sturdy enough right? Your dress only hangs on the wooden part of the hanger. Yes, you'll have to be gentle with it but it should be okay.

This looks so good! Your "m" looks great too. I think it will stay sturdy, it's just a for looks type thing. I had used 16 to practice too.

Thanks Ladies. I guess I'm not concerned about damage whlel in use, but keeping it protected while it's in my luggage.  Fi suggested that I wrap it in a couple layers of cardboard and I should be good to go!

Why not carry the dress on it, then it's in Carry on the whole way?  You gotta carry the dress anyway.

 

You did fabulous, it looks professional and amazing!  I wish I had used the 16 Ga instead now!

I finished this DIY project today, I'm happy with the results!!  12 ga is definitely harder to work with but the wire is much more sturdy!  I may sponge paint the hangers I'm not sure (probably should have thought about this BEFORE I finished them, oops)  They only had natural hangers at my Target, I wish I had been able to find the dark wood hangers.

Good job, I like them with the natural wood colored hangers.

The tutorial was extremely helpful I must say! I would never had attempted making mine if I didn't see this tutorial! Thank you so much!

 

I do have a question though...I got all the way to the end where you stick the wire into the drilled holes...I put would glue in there...and they wouldn't stay in! Is there a trick to getting them to stay? I ended up giving up and wrapping each end around the hanger..and I might add a flower over it to cover it up...but I'd much rather do it the right way. I'm wondering if the holes were drilled a little too big? I'm going to give it another whirl. Any tips on drilling, placement of holes, inserting wire would be appreciated. Thanks!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
