We’re no experts on wedding cords but after seeing the personalized cord below, we know it’s better that most we’ve seen.

This is actually a DIY project of Eyzel (ni Angelo) who’s an active W@Wie. In her wedblog, she shared where she bought the materials, revealed how much each cost, and detailed how to assemble everything.  But what’s more impressive is that those are accompanied with step-by-step pictures, and those shots look nice — kinda Martha Stewart-ish but on a dark background!

For those unfamiliar about what a wedding cord is and where it’s used during the ceremony: it’s known as lasso in Mexican or Spanish weddings.   It may be a silken rope, a string of flowers, links of beads or coins, forming the a figure-eight.  Each loop is loosely placed around the the neck/shoulder area of the couple by the cord sponsors. It’s a Catholic wedding ritual and is said to symbolize the infinite bond of marriage.
