Making Mementos Special Through Personalization

Often a miniature can showcase items which may be difficult or too precious to display in full scale.
Mementos gathered from the wedding and engagement fill the shelves of a miniature armoire.

Lin of Top Shelf Creations has filled this miniature wedding memento with photos of the bride and groom, the wedding, a card from their engagement and other reminders of the happy day.

This hutch contains miniatures of actual mementos special to the couple which they may have no way to showcase. The photo in the center was reduced from a card given by the groom to his fiance on their engagement. The bottom shelf has a copy of their wedding invitation, and the photos are all miniatures of actual wedding photos. The trims and the couple's initials on the top make this hutch very personal, and are a great way to keep a small reminder of a special day front and center, while treasured originals are stored or displayed elsewhere.
