Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

DIY Super Simple Wedding Bouquet Holder!

So for my wedding July 19th, 2017 I wanted to make my own wedding bouquet holder so I started looking around online and I found how to make one quite ingeniously! I took a paper towel tube and I decided to keep the length because when handling it really isn’t that long but one can cut it down for a smaller holder if they like.

 
So I took the tube and I bought some thicker white ribbon as the sheer ribbon I had didn’t look right. In a spiral design I hot glued the white ribbon all the way down the tube and then took a piece of ribbon and glued it to the bottom hole of the tube. Then I took some pink mesh wrap ribbon, I bought blue as well but I came to like the pink better even though both colors fit the color scheme of the wedding, and I carefully hot glued that over the white ribbon. It took about two days to finish because I did it in spare time after work but it was so worth it. It turned out beautifully!! Now after I added the pink mesh wrap ribbon I added one blue dragon fly decoration to the side of the bouquet holder. Voila it was finished!

 
Now anyone can change the color of the base ribbon and mesh wrap ribbon and the decorations to fit their wedding color scheme and likes! The goal is to have fun with this super simple and fun creative item for your wedding!

 
Bear in mind the flowers themselves and the arrangement may alter the look or not fit the holder so see about that. I made my holder before my bouquet was made and Karen who made my bouquet fit it all together on the day and though a little heavy I just kept my hands in a certain way so the heavier bouquet didn’t fall out of the holder or crush it in anyway.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.





Try some of the leading Baby Name Sites and Baby Name or Character Naming books as well.
