Ribbon

Bobbins30, 7 June, 2010 at 14:08 Posted on Planning 0 14

Probably a very stupid question, but where can I buy ribbon from? I have tried Hobbycraft and they dont have the colour that I need.

I need width around 6/7mm and it's for making invitations. I need it in what i call violet - it's a dark bluey-purple, but all the ribbon I've seen is either lilac or cadbury purple, can't find any bluey tones.

    Your local haberdashery shop can probably order some for you if you take a sample to show them.

    Have tried the local market and we dont have any haberdashery shops around here just a hobbycraft which I've tried already.

    Have already changed the colour scheme, dont want to have to change again!

    We have a wide range of 7mm wide satin wedding ribbons that may match the purple colour that you are looking to source to make your own wedding invitations:

    Berisfords Ribbon Liberty colour 952 - is one example that may match.

    I hope this helps Smiley smile

    Thanks everyone that has replied, Jane I've sent you an email!

    the Liberty ribbon looks like quite a close match as well so will also keep that in mind, thanks ladies, I've found so many good websites from this forum, now I just need to stop spending! x

    Just remember that if its not completely exact, dont worry!! I dont think people will have their invite pressed against the dresses to see if they match on the day!! Also you could maybe go for a lilac ribbon as i think it looks lovely against the darker purples! just another option!
