Santa
Dolls From Your Wedding Dress
The following Santa is a custom-made Santa designed from
a wedding gown. The Bride said it had been in the attic for 13
years and there was no one to wear it....so she decided to put it to use
and be able to enjoy it. She has chosen to include family heirlooms with
her Santa. The railroad pocket watch belonged to her grandfather and her
sister's birthstone ring is attached. The broach is actually one of her
mother's barrettes. The angel's gown is from her great grandmother's
handkerchief and the bodice is embellished with a pair of her
grandmother's ear rings. If you are interested in obtaining one of
these dolls Visit the "Santa
Lady."
Your table centerpieces DO NOT have to be flowers or candles. If you are looking for something unique that your guests will absolutely oggle over, at your creativity, the uniqueness and beauty, use snow globes. Snow Globes are a mainstay of the holidays. They provide beauty, innocence and childhood reflections of shaking them as children. They are a beauty item of simplicity! The grown up version of the snow globe is beautiful and can be used as an excellent focal point in a decoration. Again, simply use angel hair, a bed of greens (i.e., holly, pine, a wreath) or even a table mirror with some scattered glitter, of a beautiful table runner. Below are some great snow globes available under $50.00 that you can use as a great centerpiece for your table, which in turn makes a nice gift for 1 lucky recipient of the table to take home.
