Remember this inspiration bouquet?
That is Mrs. Lovebug’s actual bouquet and it was also part of my inspiration board. Keeping with my modern yet vintage theme, I thought it would look great with my flowers, too! So I’ve been scouring the usual places one might acquire typewriter letters––eBay and the flea market. Well, sometime last week I bid yet again on eBay, and this time I hoped I would actually win but stay within my budget.
Just a short 2 hours later it was confirmed, and I had won for only $10!! And I got the whole set!
Look how great the LOVE letters look:
I have no idea what I will do with any of the other letters, but I’m keeping them just in case. Maybe a “G” for Mr. Fro Yo’s boutonniere?
Can you think of any other ways I can incorporate the remaining typewriter letters and numbers in the wedding?

OH MY GOD, i love that bouquet. Ive had the image saved on my computer since i first saw it!!!!! 
You could take pictures of the buttons and blow them up for table numbers…
I love this idea though, its so cute!
Yeah love the G in the bout… maybe with the remainder letters you can use the Bridesmaid initials on their bouquets? That’s if nobody has any repeat letters…
i like gator’s idea. and using the remaining letters in the bouts. how about charms for the bms? that is, if they all have different initials.
They would make some pretty cute cufflinks!! But they’re going to look amazing on your bouquet, and it’s cute in his bout as well.
I did the same thing with my bouquet, and am using the extra letters for the bridesmaid bouquets, my one friend has two M’s as her initials, my fiance gave me a hard time when I stated that we had miraculously been sent to “m”s before he explained I had an M and a W Bridebrain perhaps?
I never saw Lovebug’s bouquet!! But i am using a “P” typewriter key as my something old on my bouquet… I got the idea because we both have tattoos that are in typewriter font. I also got the Mr. some cufflinks made of them too. So obviously, I love this idea!
That is so adorable!
I saw a typewriter wedding in Martha Stewart once. Instead of a guestbook they had guests type up their messages on an old typewriter & each escort card was held down by a typewriter key….
So cute! I don’t see much here that hasn’t been mentioned (I was thinking cufflinks, too) but I really love the bout idea!
Oh how I love that! Could you use them for your monogram(s) somewhere? Stick ‘em on a cupcake?
What about making push pins out of them and using them to hold down photos of the two of you to a cork board? Or attach them to drink stirrers and use them to mix cocktails if you’re having a bar or coffee station? Attach them to toothpicks and stick them in your cake…maybe turn them into bracelets? I do love the idea of blowing up pictures of them and using them as table numbers!
I was thinking cufflinks, too or even tuxedo buttons. I like the push pin idea, too. How bout embedding them in an ice sculpture bowl of frozen yogurt?
totally was going to say cufflinks. OR you could have the florist incorporate 1-2 letters into mr. froyo’s bout?
Hmmm…maybe turn them into magnets, and have a magnetic guest book message board where people can leave notes on little pieces of paper? Sorry, trying to think of something unique!
@Gator: I love this idea! I hadn’t thought of that at all!
@Soon2BeeMrsLewis: I wanted to do that, but I have 2 S and 2 Ks, boo!@Pugsandkisses: That’s super smart, way to be resourceful.
@KMSull: I LOVE this idea, thank you so much!!
Oh, and just a side note, that’s not really Mr. Fro Yo’s bout, I just grabbed a succulent I had around so the “G” would stand out more.
incredible! And a G for the bout would be awesome! I love the vintage typewriter keys!!
I love succulents! And I also totally remember lovebug bouquet. I bet your will look great!
Those typewriter keys are fantastic. Can you use any of the additional letters in signage just for the two of you…if you made special signage for your chairs? Or what about near your cake if you’re adding other vintage items?
Love it! So cute! Somehow the elements of my wedding all seem to have the typewriter theme…..This would be perfect! Awesome!
I love that inspiration photo! I think you should definitely do something like this!
I’m super in love with the idea of throwing the G into his bout! Tie together your flowers and his flowers, YES!
I was going to suggest push pins too but KMSull beat me to it I’m usually not a fan of handle “decor” (don’t know why) but I love the simplicity of the typewriter letters, and as shown it makes a great photo op!
I don’t have any ideas, but I think using the rest of the keys would be so awesome!

About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, and have lived in several of the cities across the state, but I currently reside in Austin. I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.
