Love Is In The Air...

A friend of the family is getting married in the summer and the wedding is to be a large affair in the park.  A  picnic in the park with everyone contributing to the gathering.  A beautiful hint of the past, where weddings were done much in the same way with everyone bringing a plate or providing something for the happy couple.  What a wonderful way to start married life, surrounded by the ones you love and debt free.

My contribution is the brides bouquet and a buttonhole for the groom and best man, a shabby chic design made with love and vintage treasure.

The bouquet holds all the elements, something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue...

The button holes match and look quite dashing on a dark suit.

They are packed into a brown satin box edged with gold and surrounded with masses of white tissue paper to give it a luxurious feel.

Finished off with a beautiful ribbon tied in a bow at the top.  Love is in the air and all ready for Valentines weekend.  We are celebrating with a quiet meal in for two, and then spending the weekend preparing for our trip.  We are driving down to our daughters to stay the night on Monday so we get to see her and Bertie of course before we fly to Florida from Gatwick.  Have you any plans for Valentines day?

 

See you soon.
