Ring Cushion
This is the accessory on which the rings will be given to the young during the marriage. It's okay if you do not prepare it in advance. Representatives of the registry office will offer you a standard beautiful saucer, on which the rings will lie. Such an accessory will serve not only at the ceremony itself, but also create a wonderful background for photo rings.
But if you want to emphasize the individual character of your celebration, you can sew a pad with your own hands. Nothing complicated here. It will be enough to buy beautiful material and lace.

Not prohibited and special variations that fit your subject (shells, vases of natural material, etc.).
Crystal glasses for breaking
To break glasses "for luck" is a pleasant and spectacular tradition. Dishes for this will need to prepare in advance. Someone will say that it is very a pity to beat expensive crystal. Then you can approach this process creatively. For example, buy inexpensive glasses or take a pair from the existing set and decorate them with special paint, rhinestones and other elements. Depending on the chosen theme, the drawings on the glasses can repeat the given stylistics. For the classic scenario, imitation of lace and beautiful white streaks will be suitable.
Folder for Testimony

In the future, this document will need you more than once, so make sure that the decor was securely attached. In a hard folder it will be very convenient to carry the document with you in the bag, but if there are a lot of beads on it, rhinestones, etc., then they can be detached. It is more expedient to use for this purpose a standard folder or a corner, and at home again you will be able to put the main document of the family into an elegant wrapper.
Invitations for guests
Ready-made options can be purchased at any store where postcards are sold. But it is rather banal and prosaic. After all, you yourself want your wedding was not like any other. So start with invitations. Make them yourself. You will need a beautiful thick cardboard, lace and other decorative items (optional).
Print text on beautiful paper and paste into cardboard blanks. The outer side can be decorated with lace and beautiful satin ribbon ties. This is just one of the options. What will be your unique invitation, depends only on your imagination and desire. You can creatively approach the compilation of the text of the invitation itself, and not just write the date and time of the marriage.
To emphasize individuality, you can use photos of young people. They can be located both on the inside and on the outside of the invitation.
Armbands for bridesmaids
The tradition of appointing bridesmaids came to us from the West, and has already managed to settle down. While the witnesses today do not play such an important role as before, they are successfully replaced by the army of bridesmaids. To highlight their status, they dress in the same (or similar in style and color) dress. On the hand they also tied a kind of decoration - a garter. They are all the same.
You can make them yourself. At the same time, they blend well in color and style with the image and general theme of the wedding. These are mainly transparent ribbons with decorative flowers.
If you want to make them yourself, then make sure that they hold well on your hand and do not fall apart. Indeed, during the celebration girlfriends will take an active part in competitions and dances.
