I need 06'er help.

I need 06'er help.

Update!
I chose the lantern (bottom of post). It ended up not being much more than all the rest and I loved it the most!!! Happy Birthday to ME!

I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with keepsake florist and I am trying to decide on the type of arrangement I want.

1. A bo-k resemblence shadowbox
Pro: It looks like my bo-k and I can hang it if I want. I can put in my invite or a picture.

2. A monogram or solid heart shadowbox
Pro: VERRRY different and I love it, but it isn't 'my bo-k'

(It wouldn't be double-mounted though)

OR 3.

4. Medium Dome
Again, looks like my bo-k, and would be on a table top or in bookshelf. It was my original idea.

Re: I need 06'er help.

I was stuck between #1 and #2, but I picked #1 because I love that you can put a photo or your invite in there as well.

Re: I need 06'er help.

Went with number 2 because I have never seen it before and it is very cool. If you initial actually is an O you can still put an invte in the middle!

#1 is my second choice.

Re: I need 06'er help.

Re: I need 06'er help.

either 1 or 4...

I feel like after a while, 2 or 3 will just start to look like potpouri jmo

#1. I think it is prettier than the other wall mounted things and the dome will take up too much surface area. I have a doll in one of those and it takes up so much space.

Re: I need 06'er help.

what would they charge for the heart? My bo-k will be heart shaped, and I would love a heart shaped floral display!

They're ALL beautiful!

I voted for the heart.

Re: I need 06'er help.

Okay...I might in the minority, but I'm freaked out by 'preserved' things...I always thought it was for photographs and video, not for display.

That being said - I love Number 2 - it's beautiful, different, and would go with decor for the house - 'our house'....

I just think preserving the bok is more of 'lisa's' keepsake, more than 'Leese & fFrank.'

Does that make ANY sense?

Christine: Definitely understand....

I have to throw another picture. This was my original absoulte love. Now that all my other choices are getting pricey, this one is actually the same price as what i would have gotten with the rest... Anyone like this?

Re: I need 06'er help.

i still like #1

Yes, I love this...b/c it's your 'bok' but doesn't look like a 'bok' - it's a simple keepsake that both ofyou know it's purpose without it screaming 'wedding'

yes, agree with where you are going with that... so it's pretty, but not too much.

Re: I need 06'er help.

I voted for #1. I like the shadowbox bc you can include your invitation and/or one of your many beautiful wedding pics!!

Re: I need 06'er help.

I really like Number 3 but I love number 2 as well. I think they are so different. My mom did something like for Aunt Chrissy and made a heart to hang on the door and it was so unique. she loved it.

Re: I need 06'er help.

I LOVE #1...I like the idea that you can add your invite or even your picture!!! I think it would be much better to have something in a 'more' secure place...If you hang it on the wall, you have less of a chance of something happening to it!!!

Plus, it is your BOK in its original form!!!
