When Joe and I married, a friend advised us that marriage is like a triangle between husband, wife and God. The closer the couple draw to Him, the closer they will grow to each other. With this thought it mind, I made the three-strand bracelet pictured above for friend Haley whose wedding was Labor Day weekend.
Mary Ashley and Emma were her flower girls, so I used leftover fabric and lace from their dresses to make a little drawstring jewelry bag with Haley's new monogram.
Haley's wedding colors inspired her crystal and glass bead bracelet with Vintag findings (all from A.C. Moore). Smaller single-strand bracelets for the girls coordinated perfectly. Find instructions on making a bracelet here.
"And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart" (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Beautiful! She will treasure that gift for a long time! I love that verse and you have found a perfect gift for a new bride! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Lovely idea! What a great memory for the bride and groom. Susan
Love that idea. Such a concrete symbol of the Christian marriage. Thanks for sharing. Definitely filing this idea away.
So beautiful! What a precious gift.
Beautiful bracelet! Thanks for the verse too!
Love it!
What a wonderful idea! And the verse is perfect of course! That 3 cord strand truly holds together too...Man and wife with GOD...you can never go wrong!
Blessings, Doni
What a beautiful gift! I am sure she will treasure it always. My wedding ring has three stones in it to represent the three stranded cord. We and our marriage is incomplete without the Lord.
Beautiful post and a beautiful bracelet!
I love this! My parents were married for 65 years and their motto was 'each for the other, and both for God.'...
