"Let's Talk Ribbon..."

Ribbon can play an important role in special events.  It's used to tie gifts.  Little girls' hair can be tied with it for dress-up occasions.  Ribbons can even be implemented for formal attire - think the satin stripe running down the pant legs on a man's tux.

And what about ribbons on women's formal wear? - It may be on a bride's dress or that of her attendants'  Often it is used in some manner in the wedding bouquets.

"A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony" denotes the beginning of something new or meaningful.  So would you agree that ribbons are symbolic of auspicious occasions?

Ribbon in our wedding is going to be used in at least two manners.  First, there will be a special treat for guests and tied with a lavender ribbon depicted in the first picture - note the gold lettering on both sides of the bow tails.

And the most unique use of "ribbon" in weddings was new to me -- that doesn't mean it's a new idea - I have just been out of the wedding scene for a very long time!

Honored guests, usually family, will have a reserved seat in front of the church at the ceremony, and will sit…"Within the Ribbon."  These guests will receive their "Within the Ribbon"card prior to the ceremony, and prior to being escorted to their seats, will hand the groomsmen's/ushers their card.  This way, the groomsman/usher will know where to seat the guest.
