I finished the bridesmaids bouquets and the accompanying handles.
I think that they turned out quite lovely. What do you think?
I have moved on to working on the corsages.
I am trying to decide between the two flower designs. What do you think? I really like the 'pointiness' of the dark purple, but the soft rounded edges of the lighter shade could also be appealing. Either way, I'm having fun during this stressful time in most brides' lives.
I got these candlestick holder and this pedestal at a local craft store for $5 and I "Blinged them up" as my fiancee might say. I'm really quite happy with them, and it was a fast project. My next project after the corsages are finished will be the boutineers and the bridesmaids' outfits. My mother in law to be who has a very giving spirit (one of her many admirable qualities) gave me a family heirloom to wear as my wedding band.
It is such an honor to be entrusted with something so precious. She also gave me these salt and pepper shakers:
I'll be posting more details of my ongoing adventure in wedding planning and creations soon. Thank you all for your previous encouragement. Happy crafting!
I like both types of the flowers, so I'm no help......except that I think that you COULD use some of each !
ReplyDeleteThe ring is just beautiful.......what a wonderful MIL-to-be ....... those shakers will make GREAT cake toppers...I love how they're both looking Heavenward, but the bride seems to be asking for a little extra patience or strength. Ha !
And when you already have the "salt of the earth", there's nothing wrong with a little pepper to spice things up a bit !
I am more than happy to be the salty one in your life, dear. Everything you create is so beautiful. I am especially lucky to be marrying such a talented, skilled, and beautiful woman.
