George Washington Bow Tie

At many weddings there is some sort of money dance, sometimes a bridesmaid will hold a bag to collect money gifts, or some other variation on the tradition. From time to time people will pin the money onto the bride and groom which is fun for the bride and groom (and makes them smell like money) and makes for some pretty cool looking photos of a couple literally covered in money.

Often the guests pinning the money will get creative, making crowns and other folded decorations with the money. At a recent wedding I saw that one of the wedding guests had created a braid of George Washington bow ties and pinned them to the groom, a very cleaver way to decorate the groom.
