Why Use a Silk Ribbon Measuring Guide?

Silk ribbon adds timeless charm to wedding stationery. From a delicate dusky blue ribbon tied around invitations, to a terracotta silk ribbon wrapped around an order of service, to an elegant champagne-toned bow on handmade name cards – these finishing touches elevate your stationery from simple to unforgettable. But without guidance, it’s easy to overestimate or underestimate how much ribbon you’ll need.

Our Silk Ribbon Measuring Guide takes out the guesswork. It’s designed for DIY brides who want their wedding stationery to look professional while keeping control of their budget. With our step-by-step measuring tips, you’ll know exactly how much ribbon to buy, reducing waste and ensuring consistency across every piece of your suite.

DIY Brides & Wedding Stationery

DIY wedding stationery is one of the most meaningful ways brides can add a personal touch to their big day. With our products – from ivory handmade paper to wax seals, from wedding envelopes to climbing floral wax stampers – you already have access to all the materials you need to craft something truly unique. Our Silk Ribbon Measuring Guide is the missing piece that brings everything together.

When you’re creating:

  • Invitation Suites – Ribbon is often tied around the invitation, RSVP, and details card. Our guide helps you calculate how much silk ribbon is needed for wrapping and tying secure, stylish bows.

  • Order of Services – Many brides love to wrap ribbon around their programs for a soft, romantic finish. The guide explains how to measure for folds, ties, and embellishments so you achieve a neat and polished look.

  • Name Cards – Perfect for adding a touch of colour and texture to place settings, silk ribbon can be knotted, looped, or tied in a miniature bow. The guide helps you measure accurately for consistency across all your guests’ name cards.

The Beauty of Silk Ribbon in Weddings

Our silk ribbons are hand-dyed, frayed-edged, and wound on traditional wooden spools, giving them a luxury finish that pairs beautifully with wax seals and handmade paper. Brides often choose romantic shades like dusky blue, sage green, or ivory to complement their colour palette. The addition of ribbon makes your stationery tactile, memorable, and undeniably personal.

With our measuring guide, you’ll avoid running out of ribbon halfway through your project, or spending unnecessarily on extra spools. Instead, you’ll have the exact length you need – helping you stay organised, prepared, and stress-free.
