A very good morning to you, Maja Fans! It’s Maja here with a new creation for you 🙂
Our May Moodboard’s main theme is wedding. And so I decided to share some wedding inspiration. I don’t know about customs in your countries, but in Poland money is quite a popular wedding gift. I think it’s really convenient for the newlyweds, as they can spend it on what they really need and want, not giving that away to everybody through a wedding gift list 😉 And so I thought of an elegant way to giving the money, as the envelope seemed so cliche to me 😉
I used papers from the Vintage Spring and Summer collections to decorate the sides of the box.
Then I glued the lid together, decorated with papers, tied some vintage lace and arranged flowers to look like a wedding bouquet 🙂
When you remove the lid the box…explodes! 🙂
…revealing the inner sides with one side designed to write in the best wishes 🙂
…and the remaining three sides with strips of paper attached so that you can slide in some banknotes. I also put some suggestions on the strips, such as “for the new home”, “for a crib” and “for your dream holiday”.
The central element of the wedding box is a paper cake that I made (I knew I would use some of the mathematical knowledge SOMEDAY! 🙂 ) and decorated it with mini roses and guipure lace:
Supplies:
Maja Design: Vintage Spring Basics: 2nd of May bs, 4th of May bs, 5th of May bs; Vintage Summer Basics: 1922.
Other: dies: Spellbinders, Magnolia; Pearl Maker WACO; lace, flowers – from my stash.
And what are most popular wedding presents at your countries?
see you soon!

What a beautiful way to give a gift. Fantastic work! (oh, and yes, money is also the gift used here in the Northeast U.S.
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.
This is so gorgeous, really beautiful way to give the money to the newly wedded couple. Here in Scandinavia it´s also the most common gift I think.
