    Glitter?  Stamp a pattern on them?

    I think a cluster of gems in some of the corners would look really cute.  You could also use moss or ribbon to decorate them.

    I didn't use our initials, but I did do some WE DO letters. Depending on the look you are going for, I cut out lace in the shape of the letters and used spray on glue to attach the lace, then I put some ribbon roses diagonally across the letters. You could also just wrap some ribbon around the letters and tie some bows.

    1.hanging from the archway when we say our vows.

    2.the doors to the reception centre also...

    3 in the gardens where we are getting married at the start of the aisle... C on one side and S on the other put in with shepherds hooks.

    I love letters!! I think rhinestones make anything beautiful!!  Also, I think you could take the flowers off the wire stems and hot glue just the flower head to the letter and make the whole letter solid flowers.... it is so beautiful!! Good luck! !

    hehe thanks anyway steph! . The reason why I said no flowers. Because the city im in doesnt have a very good supply of 'good' silk flowers.. they only seem to come in the category of 'tacky'

    Im going to work on it over the weekend. Love starting projects :)
