Keep The Boxes… Rollin’ Rollin’
February 4th, 2008 @ 2:46 pm by Mrs. Cherry Blossom
On average, I’d like to say I get about 2 - 3 packages a week at work. It’s a good thing they come straight to me, because if someone else had to sign for and deliver them, I think they’d get a little P’Od.
My veil arrived y’alls! It is super simple, and ubberly sexily gorgeous. It arrived super fast and I couldn’t wait to rip that sh*t open, hence the sharty pics of me modeling them while Mr. CB obliged and took two quick snaps of me in it before retreating back to watching TV with a few grunts of approval.
It comes with a sheet of instructions on how to put it on and the proper way to hang and store your veil. I have to scour my death trap of a closet to find pant hangers with the clip. For now, they are hibernating for another 3 months in the box as is… well after I tried it on, of course.
Long but not too long. So flowy and pretty, yeah? And for $47.74 with shipping. It’s a steal!!!!
A while back I had also ordered a gazillion rolls of ribbon from Papermart for my million DIYs along with my clear PVC boxes for my favors. I was real picky about the colors, chocolate brown was not a hard color to find, neither was a pastel pink but I was adamant on wanting my “pink” colors to be more of a mauve. So when I ordered my ribbons and bridemaids’ dresses, I wasn’t sure what pink I’d get but you know what? I totally scored and got lucky! Mauve for ribbon and EuroBerry for sash. And look, they matchy matchy. How you like them apples?
You gots some grunts of approvals for moi?

very nice CB! Where did you get your sash? I need one for my dress. I love how it is tied!
Thanks Nez. That sash is actually part of the Bill Levkoff bm dress. 
When I can hunt down a BM to wear the dress again, I’ll do a tutorial for yalls!

That’s an awesome bow! I am looking for mauve ribbon too and since you have done alot of research… where can I find a nice mauve that is not too pink? Thanks!
grunt, grunt. i totally approve!
grunt, grunt! can’t wait to see the whole ensemble!
hmmm, now i wonder if my assist. gets po’d from signing all my packages. oopsie.
Where did you get that pink ribbon? I looked on the Papermart website but the rose looks darker and the pink looks lighter.
Susanne K / Sara: I bought the ribbon from papermart. The color is hard to tell on the website and it sure looks a lot lighter than I wanted but I took a chance and Rosy Mauve is definitely the color that I have. Here is the direct link:

Good luck!
I love, love, love your veil!!! Can I ask which style you chose at veilshop? I looked around there, but wasn’t able to figure it out. Thank you!
