Wedding day shadow box

Merline, on March 21, 2020 at 7:39 PM Posted in Community Conversations 2 15
Hey! Just wondering if anyone made a wedding day shadow box? If so, please post a pic of it. I'm trying to figure out what to put in ours. I've dried my bouquet and H's boutonniere to put in box. I have our marriage certificate, my garter, a piece of my dress that we cut from it being too long, our cake topper, the ring bearer pillow, our save the date and invitation. I also have our toasting flutes and cake server knife and some engagement and wedding pics. I'm not sure if this is too much or not enough. Thanks 💜

    A what box? I have never heard of this before but hearing what your going to put into the box it sounds like a memory box or something like that. What gave you this idea? I did think about doing something like that, but i want it in a glass case.

    I made one for graduation with my diploma, tassel, honor cords, program and grad pictures. There's a lot of examples on pinterest! Here's one I've been thinking about copying. Yes it has a glass on the front of the case. You can pick it up from Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Wedding day shadow box 1

    I love this idea! My mom suggested doing it as well, but instead I have someone pressing flowers to match my bouquet. I couldn’t send my bouquet out of hawaii Smiley sad so I have to get it duplicated.

    Yeah I got someone to do it! I haven’t received it yet. I was told 4-6 weeks from wedding day, so I should be getting it within 2 weeks!

    No, they’re pressing flowers and putting it in a frame. My mom wanted me to do a shadow box but that’s too much stress for me to make. I really wanted the frame to decorate the house with Smiley smile

    Yes! I understand! I want to add so much stuff to the box that I cannot find one to fit everything lol. I may have to custom make mine.

    You could do like a wall of it instead of throwing it all in one shadow box! I pressed some of my bouquet flowers and intend on making smaller frames with it, and have the main one I ordered from the lady I got it from in the center of our bedroom. Kind of like a collage of framed flowers Smiley smile you could do the same thing with the different stuff you want in the shadow box. It would look so cool on one of your walls!

    That’s so amazing!!! How big is that box?


    I reached out to the lady pressing my bouquet and she hasn’t received her shipment of frames yet. So I’m still waiting for mine!

    Thank you! The box is 24x30 with a 2 inches working space between the glass and foam back. I purchased the frame from Michael's. Yeah my frame was on back order. I guess everyone with using this time to do projects lol.
