Our crystals and beads wedding paraphernalia's

Earlier this morning, I already showed mom the wedding paraphernalia's we are going to use on our wedding day. I was quite uncertain to show it to her since she always make a fuss about about we, buying stuff way too early! :D

To my surprise, the moment I handed her the boxes of boutonnieres which actually turned out to be brooches, she got teary eyed and was in high spirit about these paraphernalia's. She even exclaimed that she can no longer use her brooch. And ask me to change the wedding at an earlier date. (but of course,  she wasn’t serious about it)

Since she got too thrilled about these things, she kept all the pens (with beads) and requested me to DIY new pens instead since she wanted to have all these pens. Given that I love her that much, I agreed and immediately said yes with her request.

Our DIY - matching rosaries! :D

 

Wedding rosaries in the making ♥

Yey! Since Hazel got inspired beading some of our wedding accessories, she already showed me the rosary that Mark would have on our most awaited day. Tomorrow, she promised me to bring all the wedding accessories she made just for me.

Thank you so much Hazel!!! (my office mate, my GT sis) I promise to endorse you and give you customers as soon as you start venturing into this business. I am your number one fan, and of course, your first customer. :D hehe

Hazel used acrylic beads for Mark's rosary. Gee, I can't wait to see my pink rosary! Anyhow, here are the materials used for our matching rosaries:

Our matching wedding rosaries

Praying the rosary has been a tradition for both of our families. Mark and I also make it a point that we pray the rosary as we go to our respective office every day. Mark would use his fingers to count the mysteries, while I would use the mini rosary that my mom gave me as a birthday present last year.

Since rosary played a big role on our relationship, I also decided to have our own customized rosaries. 1 for Mark and 1 for myself ;) To tag on our wedding colors, Mark would have a brown rosary while I get to have a pink one. Before we get married, I am planning to have it blessed to maintain its significance.

Hazel, who also made our wedding cord will custom the rosaries for us. Since she isn’t Catholic and doesn’t know much about rosaries, I had to lend her my own rosary so she could copy it.

Here are the crystals and beads she’s going to use to make the entire rosary. The brown crystals are not yet available. I'll post it some time next week ♥

Crystals and beads that Hazel would use to custom our rosaries. These are the same beads that she used for our wedding cord

I'll take pictures as soon as she brings  the beads and crystals she's going to use for Mark's brown rosary.

I can no longer wait to get the finished product! ♥ Below are some samples of matching rosaries I have searched from Google
