Wedding Update

Progress on the wedding is steady with something being done on a daily basis.  There is still no pressure so I am taking great pleasure in making the perfect setting for the happy couple. Speaking to my daughter on a daily basis, sending pictures backwards and forwards, tweaking here and there is still soothing with a constant desire for the perfect setting.

Half of the coasters have been cut, sanded and stamped they now just need to be waxed but make a great finishing touch and the perfect memento of the wedding to take home.



A very pleasing overall effect.
 
Baskets have been embellished with crochet flowers/leaves for the bathrooms to hold personalised mints.  A finishing touch to add a little luxury.


The confetti basket is now ready for the confetti cones. They are yet to be made but will have a stunning effect when leaving church.


 
The card for the cones has been cut ready, they need to be put together which is quite time consuming so certainly not a job to be left to the last minute.  They are going to hold dried hydrangea petals.
 
The wreaths for the outside tables have been made and embellished with wooden hearts painted and stamped.  They will have a storm lamp in the centre with a candle which has already been sourced and bought.

The photographs are not reflecting the colour of the paints that well, they have been matched perfectly to the wool used for all the crochet flowers and the green ink is a racing car green.
 
Finally, last but not least a vintage case has been embellished for the reception for any cards the happy couple may receive.  It was hessian lined,  lace and jute flowers made and added with jute letters used to finish a pleasing feast for the eyes.

 
Still a few more projects to go, but tomorrow is another day.
 
See you soon.

  13. You must be having such a fun time! Everything looks just delightful -- I esp. like the coasters and the crocheted flowers. And the confetti cones, too. What a good idea about the hydrangea petals. So good to be organized like this so you can enjoy everything along the way without last-minute panic!

  15. What beautiful things you are confecting, with so much originality and love. Karen of Beatrice Euphemie Vintage Cottage Style recently decorated a bridal shower and parts of her son's wedding, also using lots of natural materials and burlap. Good for you.
