Ivy, the symbol of longevity, wedded love, fidelity, friendship and affection, has had significance throughout history, so it would make sense that our Ivy Design bookmark can make the perfect customized favor for a wedding. An engaged couple recently ordered the design and opted to have their photo included (shown left). They excerpted a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (linked searchable database of Longfellow poems) for the text on the back of their elegant wedding momentoes:
Ah, how skillful
grows the hand
That obeyeth
Love’s command!
It is the heart,
and not the brain,
That to the highest
doth attain,
And he who followeth
Love’s behest
Far excelleth
all the Rest!
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
