Handmade Ribbon Wreaths

Hello all. Here is what I have to say today.

It's that time of year again! Celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, or even just the changing of the seasons with one of my beautiful handmade ribbon wreaths!

Each wreath is uniquely made up of hundreds of individual ribbons made of different material and color appropriate to the design. They are held together via pins and hot glue to make them sturdy, and they are perfect for indoor or outdoor decorations.

I can customize each one to make it fit whatever color or style you're going for, and I'd be happy to accommodate any special request that will make your wreath extra special! You are only held back by your imagination! If you know the general idea of what you want, but aren't sure how to make it extra special, I can offer a free email consultation.

Some customize-able options are your school or favorite team's colors, seasons, Christmas, Thanksgiving,  or you can add on embellishments (bells, ribbons, flowers, etc). The wreaths can hang inside your living room, outside your door, above a fireplace, or they can sit on your coffee or dinner table as a centerpiece. I can also make kissing balls or trees as well covered in simply ribbons or you can request anything flower-covered.

They make fantastic gifts as well (each member of my family received one last year and loved them!) for that special sports fan, craft lover, or your own home.

I offer affordable delivery, shipping, and gift wrapping options as well.

Please feel free to contact me for any info! I can provide quotes, answer questions, or email you pictures. :)

10" Christmas or Thanksgiving wreaths start at $30.00. But other sizes (smaller or larger), and embellishments are available. Paypal or cash are accepted.


You can tweet, email (ashley [dot] debisschop [at] gmail.com), message, or comment to get in touch with me if you are interested in gifting or purchasing one of my wreaths, kissing balls, or trees (or any shape that you can imagine). 


Also, please tell your friends and share! Thanks so much for all of your support and putting up with the slight interruption. We will now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Happy Holidays! 

Fair and Carnival Weddings

Yesterday's post got me thinking about fair themed weddings. As I was looking for pictures to fill in a fair themed inspiration board, I realized that there is a difference (to me) between a fair themed wedding and a carnival themed wedding.

My idea of a fair themed wedding is full of warm cider and hot cocoa. It is held in late September or October. All the decor has hay bales, corn stalks, pumpkins, etc. It is not a Halloween wedding, just fall and outdoors. When I think of it, it makes me feel all cozy and warm inside. Here is my inspiration board for a fair theme. One thing I couldn't find was hay bales, but I envision that being crucial.



I would TOTALLY do one of these weddings if I could, but hopefully I will be teaching away with my own class, so I don't believe that it will be possible. *sad face*

My idea of a carnival wedding would be a summer wedding in July or August. It would have all kinds of lawn games and prizes and ferris wheel decor. There are all kinds of interesting snacks, such as corn dogs, ice cream, fried dough, whatever you think of when you think of carnival food. Here is what I came up with.



Peanuts are another thing that I think of. I wouldn't do this one as much as I would love to do a fair themed wedding, but it would be pretty cool! Hope you like these ideas! Enjoy your weekend.

Re-purposed Furniture

I love the idea of using re-purposed furniture as decor. It would be so fun to search through garage sales, antique shops, and thrift stores to find the perfect furniture to use in your wedding and then be able to use it in your home later on. I just imagine looking at the furniture years down the line and remembering your big day and all the memories coming back to you. It is a wonderful daily reminder to keep the memories alive in your day-to-day life. Since I live in Seattle and our wedding will be held in Connecticut, I don't really have this luxury. But I can still enjoy other people's weddings who use this technique! Here are some pictures that I found.
