Wedding Blog
A few months ago I wrote this post about my bouquet charms.
Well, I finally finished them.
I’m kind of a bad blogger and I didn’t take any pictures of the process. However, I will promise to make y’all a tutorial soon, as Mr. CC wants me to make more of them.
First, let me introduce you to the people we are honoring (these are also the pictures I used).
This is Mr. CC’s Poppa. He passed in the early ’90s. Mr. CC basically grew up on this man’s lap.
This is Mr. CC’s maternal grandmother, who he never met. Isn’t she lovely?
This is Mr. CC’s Granddaddy. I had the honor of meeting this man before he passed away last May. He was a wonderful man, and we both miss him tremendously.
Those are my maternal grandparents on their wedding day. My Grandma passed last June. She was gone a long time before that; Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease. My Grandpa will be present at our wedding.
These are my paternal grandparents on their wedding day. Man, wasn’t my Poppa handsome? He looks so much like my Dad. Anyway, Mernie (my grandmother) also suffers from Alzheimer’s and was put in a specialized Alzheimer’s unit in November. She hasn’t recognized me in years. Poppa is going to try and make it.
I’m really pleased with how these turned out, and they were super easy to make.
My Grandma has a little bubble in her head. Oops. Anyway, I think they look great.
Tutorial coming soon!

they turned out so great! both the fiance and I have deceased grandfathers that we would like to honor - i’m trying to decide exactly which momentos we would like to incorporate - these could work really well!
These are so beautiful and what a touching sentiment miss cc!! AWESOME! <3
They came out great, Miss CC! Now I really want to buy one of those kits and make my own squares.
I love the expression on your paternal grandma’s face!! She’s so adorable! 
Aw, I like the bubble. It’s like she has a little secret thought, just for you! 
These look great! What a lovely tribute to your loved ones.
What a wonderful idea! I love them! Great job Miss Crab Cake!
Wow they look awesome! Please put a tutorial up, I’d really like to make one for my dad.
These are wonderful!! What an awesome way to honor them! YES! Please put the tutorial up!!!
I love this! We are doing something similar where we are going to be asking our married guests to send a copy of their favorite picture of them from their wedding day. We will be incorporating the pictures in a slide show which will be played while we invite all the couples up to dance as one of our specialty dances to honor the committment of our guests.
These are really touching. I love seeing photos of our grandparents when they were our age.
I can’t wait for the tutorial! Those look great, and it’s such a sweet way to recognize family (and decorate your bouquet!).
Ooooooh! These are beautiful!
How soon will that tutorial be coming? I want to do this, as none of my grandparents will be able to attend, but I have no idea where to start. I was going to buy the charms off of etsy, but if your tutorial is pretty easy, I might try it!!!!
These are absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see how you made them.
I’m really excited about your tutorial. I’ve been looking for a way to do this to honor my loved ones too.
They turned out GREAT! I can’t wait for the tutorial. I saw one way to make them but I like the way yours turned out…
They look better than great! What a special way to honor your loved ones. I’m looking forward to the tutorial!
Awesome! I’m planning on having one charm for my Grandma who passed a few years ago. She’s the only grandparent to pass away so far, and she really held the famil together in a lot of ways, so I know everyone will be thinking of her at the wedding. Can’t wait for your tutorial!
These are AWESOME!!!! I can’t wait to see the DIY - I might have to copy
They’re beautiful! (the charms and your family) Honoring them in this way will make your day even more special. Great job, CC!
Wow, I am so impressed. I love these! And it isn’t hard to see where you and Mr. CC got your good looks from - beautiful families!!
Ooooohhhhhh what a tease!! I cannot wait to hear how you made these!! My FI is huge into his ancestry, we have pics of great-great-great-great grandparents, or something like that!! This would be a perfect way to honor all of them!!
I cant wait to see how you made these! My FI’s parents both died unexpectedly this time last year two weeks apart and I think this would be a really nice way to remember them.
Wow! Do you think there’s any way something like this could be make into cuff links?
These are really beautiful! But man, CC, you have a way of teasing us! You often show us something and then we have to wait for the deets — no fair. But I still like you, anyway
Those look amazing! We have lots of folks to honor, so I can’t wait for a tutorial!

About Me: I'm a perfectionist trying to balance two jobs, motherhood, my craft obsession, and wedding planning. I am obsessed with all things wedding, especially creative ideas for saving money and DIY projects. A Southern Belle at heart, I love anything southern, especially sweet tea, grits, afternoon thunder storms, crab cakes, and good old Southern hospitality. Mr. Crab Cake and I are planning a vintage inspired wedding with tons of Southern flare (can y'all say that with a thick Southern drawl?).
