Jumping The Broom

I plan to jump the broom...........are you?

We are although I have yet to figure out where I'm getting the broom from.

We sure did!  My mom bought the broom from Hobby Lobby for about $3 and my dad and I decorated it together with black, white, and pink ribbon and some fake flowers also from Hobby Lobby.  It only took about 20 minutes to do.

My mom is gonna get one from the arts and crafts store orsomething and dress it up with ribbons and bows that are my wedding colors

Thanks for the idea ladies.  I'm gonna check it out.  I don't know where I would be without this board

I am jumping the broom.  I am actually using material from my future mother in law's wedding dress, my mom's wedding dress and my wedding dress for ribbon.  My future mother in law has no daughters. I thought this would be a nice way to incorporate her into my wedding.

We did.  I bought the end of the broom from Pier 1 and decorated it with ribbon, silk flowers, conch shells, diamonds, glitter.

It was so much fun and now the broom is hanging on the wall in our house.

What craft store in New Orleans did you get it from?

I sure am.  I purchased my broom the the local asian market.  It was like $1.99  LOL

We hope to!  My FH has had numerous procedures and surgeries on both of his knees.  So we may have to walk over it rather than jump.  We will see.

I would like too, but my FH refuses to have it....we have a while until the wedding though, so we will see.

We are planning on jumping the broom as well. I have been thinking of adding a little twist and having my son(from a previous relationship) jump it with us. I want to include him as much as possible into my wedding.  I have no idea how to make it as I have never been a crafty person.  My sis who is also my MOH is really crafty and made hers so I have volunteered her to make mine.

We are!!

We are jumping the broom. I didn't even think about jumping the broom until I watched the movie "jumping the broom". lol

MarryingmyKnight

We are! I posted a pic of mine a while ago. I bought the broom from Michaels and we got ribbon and silk flowers. My friend pretty much maid it, I was the assistant. Lol!

nitaashanti78

I want to and after explaining to FH how it works (he'd heard of it but didn't understand what it was for) he was willing to do it.  Just need to find the broom!

We are jumping the broom as well.  My aunt gave me a broom that she has had for 20 years.  I will be decorating it for the ceremony, as well.
