We will help you select the design and choose the beads for the jewelry that your guests will create.

Our suggestions include:

• Each guest makes one strand of the bride’s multi-strand necklace and then makes a bracelet or earrings for herself.
• Each guest makes her own necklace or bracelet and earrings set to wear in the wedding. The bride makes a set for herself to wear to the rehearsal dinner.
• Each guest and the bride makes her own necklace or bracelet and earrings set to wear to the rehearsal dinner.

The bride receives a special surprise gift bag full of treats and offerings from Bead in Hand and the Oak Park Arts District.

Cost: A two hour party with an instructor is $20 per person plus the cost of materials. Pre-set packages can be created to fit any budget.

For an additional fee of $18 per person, we will serve a traditional high tea to you and your guests (weather permitting, this can take place in our beautiful backyard garden). Served with a tea service from CarefulPeach Boutique, the food is provided by the Buzz Café and the menu is:

• tea (an assortment of herbal, green and black teas)
• an assortment of finger sandwiches (cucumber, salmon, chicken salad, egg salad, roast beef, and turkey – menu varies based on availability)
• 1 large rustic salad (greens, dried cranberries, walnuts, feta and raspberry vinaigrette)
• A choice of assorted mini scones with butter and jam
• A tiered platter of assorted dessert squares
