I received the most beautiful Army garter from HCC Custom Wedding Garters a few months ago. I strung it over one of my hubby's Army photos, took a pic and entered it into the A Little Garter Photo Contest to win a $100 gift certificate to the HCC Custom Wedding Garters store!

Have you visited WicksnCandlesticks yet?

Well, at WicknCandlesticksticks, which is owned by one of the most wonderful ladies I know, Carla Lowery, you will find a beautiful assortment of luxurious gift baskets and products! I've had the pleasure of sampling some of bath & body items and oh my goodness, they are exhilarating.

My personal favorite is the Mango Coconut Shower Gel that smells sooo good and leaves the skin delicately scented for hours. I could shower with this for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. The smell is so vibrant, yet the gel is so gentle and calming that I spent almost 15 minutes in the shower lathering over and over again the first time I showered with it.

After using the shower gel, a perfect compliment to it is the handmade Emu Oil Body Lotion which is the most amazing body cream that I've come across. It is rich, creamy, smells incredible and there is not need for perfume once you've covered your body with this lusciousness. My husband noticed it the very first time I wore it and his reaction was "Is that a new perfume, you smell really good, I like that, what is it?" It is now the only lotion I want to buy!

For the quality of the products, everything is reasonably price and would make wonderful gifts for anyone in your wedding party or for yourself. So hurry to WicksnCandlesticks today to get free shipping on the Candle Gift Baskets using the Promo Code: FREESHIP during check out!

Sarah Darling at wedding bycolor.com has some wonderful instructions for making your own wedding garter on her blog. She took really great photos while making her red and black theme inspired garter and everything she used came to $6.00.



These are all the items she used to make it and would you believe they cost just $6.00. With a sewing machine and one hour  she had a garter that I think is pretty fantastic... robot and all!



Go here to read all the DIY instructions and let me know if you think you'll be attempting to make your own now you see how easy it is to do.

If you don't think that you can tackle it yourself but want a custom wedding garter that both you and your hubby-to-be will love, then CustomWeddingGarters.com is the place for you!

I really like this Fall Centerpiece featured on DollarTree.com! It's cute and a wonderful, budget friendly display for a Fall Wedding Table. The little pumpkins seen above are $1.00 each here on the website.

If you like the look but can't find cheap pedestals, remember you can always buy wine glasses for $1.00 as well and turn them upside down to transform them into candle stands like the ones in the cheap, wine glass centerpieces article.



You can also group them together and add some candles, elevated on candle sticks at the center to create a centerpiece fit for an elegant event.



Find tapered, glass candlesticks and red, tapered candles at your local dollar store. They will make a beautiful addition to any centerpiece you may want to create.
