“Corpse Bride” or La Pascualita - the story of one mannequin

The ransom is considered one of the most fun moments at a wedding celebration. The process is especially fun if it is organized by the bridesmaids. It is on their shoulders that this responsibility must be placed.

The girls know the groom and his friends well, so they will be able to come up with competitions for them. In addition, girlfriends often come up with the most tricky tasks, which the groom’s friends and future spouse carry out with great difficulty. In this article we will look at how to make original posters for a wedding or bride price with your own hands.

What kind of ransom posters should I make?

The beauty of a buyout is that it's a great opportunity to fool around. Pampering is manifested not only in the organization of the event itself, but also in the decorative elements present at the celebration. For example, it is customary to decorate a girl’s entrance and apartment with special posters.

You want a celebration at a wedding everywhere and always. Everything is shrouded in a cheerful, sunny and perky mood. But the same cannot be said about the entrance into which the groom and bridesmaids will have to enter. As a rule, this is a rather dirty, and also gloomy place. But you can decorate it too; it can be done quite easily by using wedding posters drawn with your own hands.

There are several types of wedding posters. The inscription itself will depend on which option you choose.

Decorative elements differ in purpose of use:

  1. For decoration, this is the most popular and widespread option. It does not carry any symbolism. There are not always inscriptions on such sheets. Often it is just a beautiful image of flowers or a married couple. It is possible to make a decoration in the style of the bride and groom, adding something personal to the ransom itself. In this case, you will need to print out photographs together, for example, with a love story, print them and place them on the wall in the entrance. One of the most common options is the image of the bride, which is printed on a large sheet. At the bottom of such an image there is always the caption “Stop, groom, move away, the bride lives here.” On the one hand, this is exactly the option that will not only beautifully decorate the entrance, but will also help the other guests understand that they have come to the celebration itself in the right way.
  2. To help organize competitions, these are less common options. But you must do them yourself. Such sheets usually depict the shapes of different lips, asking the groom to guess the lips of his beloved. Or it’s customary to lay out children’s photographs so that the young man can decide where his love is.

As for the very use of posters at a celebration, in this case it is necessary to stop in time. Despite their beauty, you should not use them in large quantities. The drawing itself is very bright and original, so adding them in large quantities to the wall can result in even greater vulgarity and clumsiness.

How to make a bright, memorable poster

To create a memorable gift, it is very important to choose a catchy text. Come up with a poem, use classic wishes, or look for an original version on the Internet. The young people will probably remember your masterpiece - a colorfully executed story of their meeting with photographs, beautiful pictures, ornaments and decorative elements.

DIY wedding posters are an excellent decorative element and a memorable gift for newlyweds. A handmade product will be an excellent decoration for a wedding celebration.

Hand-drawn posters


Bride ransom, posters.
Currently, stores offer a wide range of posters. They can be purchased freely at a fairly low price. But just 10 years ago there was no such variety, so all the bride’s friends drew wedding posters for redemption on their own.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer girls are resorting to this type of creativity, but if you get smart, you can not only recreate the atmosphere of the 90s, but make a truly beautiful product.

Suffice it to remember that handmade work is now highly valued. Products in scrapbooking style look especially beautiful. A similar technique can easily be applied to a wedding poster.

In order to make a beautiful product, you will need to purchase the following material:

  • whatman;
  • paper for applications;
  • scissors;
  • a simple pencil;
  • paints;
  • decorative decorations.

Try to choose not the cheapest materials. Otherwise, even the most original and beautiful idea will look ridiculous.

Pay attention to the inscriptions. They not only have to be cool and original. The main thing that will distinguish them is accessibility and easy reading. If you are bad at drawing, you can always use cut out pictures. In this case, the decoupage technique is applicable, where the drawing is transferred to the object. On it he looks as natural and organic as possible.

Wedding posters for bachelorette party

A wedding is not only the wedding itself, but also the pre-wedding day. This is why wedding posters need to be prepared not only for the wedding day itself, but also, for example, for a bachelorette party. You need to approach the preparation of a bachelorette party quite seriously and take into account all the details. Your bachelorette party will show your status not only as a bride, but also as a stylish girl with taste. To organize a bachelorette party, you need to use various kinds of organization accessories, including posters (possibly made by yourself).

Handmade bridal shower posters can include photographs of the bride and her bridesmaids throughout the years of their friendship. In addition, you should take into account the theme of the bachelorette party (for example, a denim or nautical party) and decorate the room where the bachelorette party will be held accordingly.

Options for cool inscriptions on posters


Cool posters for bride price.
The semantic load itself will depend, first of all, on the stylization of the celebration. If you have a very ordinary wedding, without unnecessary stylistics, then pay attention to the simplest images of doves, children or a wedding couple.

The following expressions can be used as inscriptions:

  1. If you go straight, you will get to the bride, if you go to the left, you will get to the neighbors.
  2. Don’t skimp on the bride, shell out some money.
  3. Ransom the bride quickly, your happiness will be appropriate.
  4. Tili-tili dough, the bride lives here.
  5. The fun begins.
  6. The wedding is taking place here.
  7. Cheers to the best family life creators.
  8. A happy family is the key to success.
  9. We value the bride, we will only give her for money.
  10. Our groom, a glorious poet, composed a couplet in honor of his wife.

If a stylized party is taking place, then it is necessary to choose more appropriate inscriptions. For example, at a biker party, everything should be appropriately themed. If the bride and groom work as teachers, then you can mark them and draw a poster in the form of a diary.

Fantasize about common interests, hobbies or work of the newlyweds. They will be much more pleased if the posters drawn specifically for their ransom are more individual.

Funny wedding phrases, lettering and slogans

Funny sayings, sayings and humorous inscriptions will further decorate the festive room. Come up with your own jokes, letting your talent run wild, or use slogans found on the Internet.

The following expressions work well.

  1. “To whom it is bitter, but today it is sweet for us!”
  2. “Children are the flowers of life, why not give a bouquet?”
  3. “Love is blind, but marriage is a great eye doctor.”

You can find a huge number of amazing phrases and humorous expressions online.

May you live happily ever after

A modern alternative to foreclosure

It is not customary to arrange a traditional ransom at all celebrations. Nowadays, more and more weddings are abandoning the previously obligatory element. Fewer people want to participate in competitions and organize them. For many, these are relics of the past.

In fact, there is simply no clear answer regarding the ransom. Each married couple independently decides whether they need such an element at the celebration.

In any case, it is worth knowing what alternatives are available. For example, you can organize a spectacular arrival of the groom. This can be done in completely different ways. One option is to appear in front of the bride in a luxury car. It could be a limousine or a huge SUV.

The groom can invite a small orchestra and perform a serenade under the bride’s windows. This is a kind of romantic sign that will delight the bride. In addition, it is also permissible to use balloons in the entrance itself. The girl, upon leaving the threshold, will be delighted to see not the same boring blue walls, but balls and rose petals everywhere.

“Corpse Bride” or La Pascualita - the story of one mannequin

If you ever find yourself in Mexico, visit the town of Chihuahua, in the center of which, on the corner of Ocampo y Victoria street, there is a wedding dress store “La Popular... la casa de Pascualita”. What's so special about it? Maybe nothing, except for the amazing mannequin in the window and the mysterious legend associated with it. The mannequin's name is La Pascualita and she has been “living” in the window for more than 80 years.

The story goes that the mannequin appeared in a store window on March 25, 1930. This is a skillfully made doll of a beautiful girl who magically enchants pedestrians who cannot take their eyes off her...

Soon after the mysterious figure appeared in the window, rumors spread around the city that the appearance of the mannequin very much resembled the owner of the store, Pascual Esparza. It didn’t take long for people to come to the conclusion that this was in fact the embalmed body of Esparza’s daughter, who had recently died on her wedding day from a scorpion bite (according to other sources, a poisonous spider). This rumor did not please the local residents, who began to express disapproval of the shop owner. By the time Pascual Esparza released an official statement denying the rumors, it was already too late. Nobody believed the owner of the wedding store. After some time, the girl’s name was forgotten and the mannequin was named La Pascualita.

Impressive sellers and onlookers continue to spread creepy rumors and legends that Pascualita's eyes can move, that she looks at you wherever you are within her field of vision, that she walks around the store at night, and also cries real tears at certain times of the year. The sellers shudderingly change her into a new dress every two weeks behind closed curtains.

They say that the mannequin was brought by the store owner from France and is truly amazing in its realism, especially considering the time of manufacture. The girl has real hair and eyelashes, on her hands you can see the most detailed reliefs of the folds of the skin, her fingers and nails look like real ones. They say you can see varicose veins on her legs.

The sad story of the owner's daughter, who died on her wedding day, has acquired incredible and tragic versions. One of them said that the girl was in love with a taxi driver, whose mother was so unhappy with the upcoming marriage that she killed her son. The unfortunate bride committed suicide by throwing herself off a cliff. And now, in the form of a mannequin, he disappears at the sight of taxi cars. According to another fantastic version, the girl was stabbed to death at the altar by a jealous, rejected lover when she was marrying someone else.

According to legend, the sudden death shocked the bride's parents so much that they decided to keep their daughter's beauty intact and embalmed the body, then covered it in paraffin, dressed it in a wedding dress and placed it in a store window. There are other fantastic versions of the appearance of the “corpse bride” in the store. However, all of them are not trustworthy, and as we can see from the photo of Pascual Esparza’s real daughter, she bears very little resemblance to the world-famous mannequin. Most of these horror stories circulate in the historic center of Chihuahua.

There is also a lot of uncertainty about the real origin of the mannequin. Either it was made in Mexico City, or Pasqualo Esparza brought it from the prestigious Port of Liverpool store in Paris, having fallen in love with the beautiful doll.. According to other versions, the mannequin was bought by the wife of a wedding dress dealer.

Be that as it may, during the heyday of the “corpse bride” stories, since dead bodies were not supposed to be displayed in shop windows, the city authorities carried out an inspection and issued a verdict: wax and plastic.

However, no checks have been able to stop rumors about the embalmed body to this day. Sellers also stir up interest in the mannequin and the store with their stories. Some passers-by are afraid to look Pascualita in the eyes, claiming that in this way they can summon a ghost watching them. These fears do not cease even in connection with the death of the owner in 1967. Many townspeople believe that his spirit possessed his favorite mannequin, and the owner is still present in his store, sometimes appearing in the guise of a ghost and frightening others.

I’m very interested in whether, with all these stories, shrouded in eerie mystery, store owners increase their sales, or, on the contrary, scare away potential customers. Not everyone will agree to wear a dress to a wedding that has been in the same room with a dead person, even a fake one.

In preparing the materials, photographs from the Internet were used, and a Spanish-language article with the most complete information about the mysterious beauty was partially translated.

I have another creepy, scary topic about dead people in my stash. If this is of interest to visitors to the Crafts Fair, I will prepare the next publication.

Bottom line

The bride and groom are the real creators of not only their own happiness, but also the marriage ceremony, so they are allowed to remove some rituals and add new ones of their own. There's nothing wrong with that. The main thing is that all this brings a real feeling of happiness, peace and love to the young couple.

And it doesn’t matter what will be organized, a beautiful arrival of the groom or a full ransom. In this matter, you should not rely on relatives who insist on the need for any part of the banquet. Everything should correspond only to the wishes of the bride and groom. First of all, it is for them that the main celebration is held.
