Wedding Ribbon
Double Faced Satin Ribbon:
Very classy. Silky smooth and very reflective. This ribbon is a good
choice for weddings and other formal occasions, where only the best is
wanted.
Metallic Shimmer Ribbon:
If you would ever associate a ribbon with a wedding, it would probably
be the Metallic Shimmer Ribbon. It's a woven ribbon with shiny,
metallic threads amonst the weave to give it a standout, elegant look.
Organza Ribbon:
Also a slam dunk for a wedding. Looks good with just about every theme
I can think of. Seems to work particularly well with flower
arrangements. This ribbon is also quite transparent.
Satin Edge Organza and
Shear Edge Garbo Ribbons:
These two ribbons are opposites of each other. Satin Edge Organza has
smooth satin on the outside edge of the ribbon and organza style weave
on the inside. Shear Edge Garbo is the same, but with the organza on
the outside and the satin on the inside. These are some of you typical
wedding styles.
Two Sided Satin Ribbon:
This ribbon is very similar to Double Faced Satin except it is
different colors of satin on either side of the ribbon. I would use it
anywhere you would use Double Faced Satin Ribbon but want to make it a
little more stylish.
Sewing Ribbon
Picot Edged Satin: This one is a very traditional fabric edging ribbon. Can make many traditional projects look amazing.
Themed Ribbon
Holiday Plaid: Perfect for around the Holidays. Great for gift wrapping.
Gingham Ribbon: Also great for holiday themed decoration.
Other Uses
Twill Ribbon:
One of the strongest ribbons I've ever seen. This is the material most
lanyard are made out of. Perfect for crafts and tasks where usability
is a little bit more important that the way it looks.
Satin Acetate:
This ribbon is great when you need a lot of it and are on a budget. You
can literally get miles of the stuff for a reasonable low price.
Printing on Ribbons
A great final touch for ribbon. There are services that can print your
name, logo, or anything else onto a ribbon. This can add a great
personal touch to your wedding, anniversary, or birthday party. Our
company specializes in this practice. If you are interested in buying
and printing your ribbon you should take a look at printmyribbon.com
