These fanciful loops of ribbon are functional, too. A single elegant bow will hold the stems of a tall floral arrangement or attach a wedding ring to its pillow. And a bow of a ribbon in a color that matches the bridesmaid dresses can wrap the favors and keep the boxes closed tight. Making bows requires few tools, little time, and minimal skill.

Once you pick the perfect ribbon and decide what type of bow it will become, all you'll need is a good pair of scissors to finish the ends -- on a diagonal or in an inverted V. The bows here are three basic styles everyone should know.

The final shape of the bow you tie will depend on the texture and width of the ribbon used to make it. You can combine different types of ribbon to make bunches of the same kind of bow. Or use just one kind of ribbon and play with a variety of tying styles. Whatever the style, no matter where you use it, the perfect bow will add the final magic touch to tying the knot.

These programs feel like personal letters to your guests. For each, cut a strip of card stock, trim the corners of one end into a point, and fold ends inward to overlap. Stitch computer-printed pages on a sewing machine, and seal with a sticker; we used a tree image that we printed on sticker paper. To make these program covers, type in your wedding date on our free template, print on letter-size paper or card stock, fold in half, and bind with rayon cords.

Why not give programs their own toasty wraps? Felt pouches bring a warm touch and bursts of color to the ceremony and make pretty mementos for guests. Delight your wedding guests with these string-tied origami programs, whose corners unfold to reveal all the need-to-know info.

You don't have to be a master seamstress to pull off these program covers. Simply slip your paper pages into a folded piece of faux suede, and then bind near the fold by running the whole shebang through a sewing machine. Branch out beyond typical wedding programs by adding a touch of fun and whimsy to them.

Guests prone to waterworks at weddings could use one of these: a ceremony program that doubles as a tissue holder. Get a custom stamp made for the cover of your program and stamp it on paper in this case, we used wooden sheets. Use a wide ribbon, cut your paper to fit, and glue the pieces together along the top inside edge to create this ceremony program upgrade.

An everyday supply turns loose pieces of paper into a polished pamphlet. To replicate this one, print your information on rectangles, then cut the corners to look like tags.
