Five reasons you need to learn how to tie a Tiffany bow:

1. Your wedding theme is Tiffany and Co

2. You just had to take a peek at the ring before giving it to her and now you can't get the bow to look right (argh!)

3. You're throwing a Breakfast at Tiffany's shower

4. You want your favors to look like the precious little tokens of appreciation that they are.

5. You've always wondered - "How DO they get them to look so pretty?"

There is nothing quite like opening one of those little blue boxes from Tiffany's! When I was planning our wedding I wanted to wrap our favors (simple candies) in pretty little ivory boxes and tie them up in a Tiffany bow. I thought it would be simple, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get the bow to look right. After many frustrating attempts (and maybe a few tears), I went to my local Tiffany's and asked for help. Did you know that there actually is a special technique - and that they will teach it to you if you ask?

We've put together a step-by-step tutorial for you (with pictures!), in case you just can't bring yourself to ask in person. We promise that with a little practice you'll be a bow-tying maven in no time at all.
