Thank you for your well-wishes over the weekend- my sister's wedding was gorgeous, but I forgot to recharge my camera batteries, in the whilrlwind of getting ready. So I don't have the promised photos of the table settings, etc because the camera died at the crucial moment. Sorry about that. It all went smoothly though and all Sarah's organising paid off. Instead I have these photos I took the next day- these are of my bridesmaid bouquet (just because I don't want to forget how pretty it was, really.) The florist had mixed bits of spruce with pale roses and cineraria leaves for a sort of smoky/faded look, and she used some of our dress fabric to wrap around the stems.
The top photo above is of my bridesmaid's dress, made by S's best friend for all of us. The full skirt was sewn from a kind of sheer taffetta in a grey/mauve shade, and then long lengths of attached aubergine-coloured stretch fabric formed the bodice which we could wrap and tie in various ways. She did a great job and I loved wearing mine!
My sister and her new husband were so happy at the end of the evening- it was lovely to see.
P.S
Thank you very much for your support of Crafting for Courage which finishes tomorrow. All my offered items sold, so I was able to make the donation to Save the Children Japan yesterday. I also discovered Hearts + Hands Japan which presents a great fundraising idea with many talented artists taking part.
