  • Grandmother's Heirloom Personalized Bouquet Wrap & Real Handkerchief: Katey

    1 min read

    Here's another real Garter Girl bride...but this time we're showcasing a wedding handkerchief! Bride Katey's wedding handkerchief is a family heirloom from her Maternal Grandmother.  She wrapped this handkerchief around her bouquet on her wedding day and now it was passed down to Katey!


    First up was to clean this handkerchief and make sure it's preserved correctly. Next, I personalized the item with custom embroidery in a blue color. I embroidered both the bride's wedding date and her mother's wedding date. You can see the detailed images of this embroidered wedding handkerchief from my photographer also on the blog!

    These images of Katey on her wedding day incorporating her handkerchief wrapped around her bridal bouquet warms my heart! The beautiful images are amazing memories of Katey's wedding day but even more so, they are so sentimental with this family wedding heirloom that's been passed down in her family.
