Make it real Julius

As promised, here's my blog in doing our Boho-Chic inpired Wedding LED candle Souvenirs. I just matched the colors and other materials in our wedding invitation. Total cost in doing this is around 10,000 php total of 54 pcs of led candles. What you need: - cord - feathers - scissors - ready made gift boxes - printed and cut monograms and thank you message. I put "THANK YOU for lighting up our day" DIY Wedding Souvenirs - Boho-chic Finish look - DIY Wedding Souvenir Boho-chic Wedding Souvenir - LED Candles Feedback from my friend :) There are a lot of ways in styling your own souvenir.

I inquired to her and got response but I find it expensive to think that the service is only for me and my husband. My budget is around 15,000 php only but I want that my Make Up Artist will stay until I need her. Lol.
