flower girls and hairstyles. love it.

so from my neice i have been given "guidelines" to the way her dress should be. here is the list
1. It has to be all the way to the floor
2. I really want to twirl in it
3. Can i have dangly earrings?
lol i'm just waiting for more stipulations, and I haven't even heard from gabrielle (jordan's cousin, the second flower girl yet).

I absolutely love this! every bride has a picture of her dress hanging just before she puts it on, well i found the perfect accessory for that classic shot. your own personal hanger! so adorable.
not until elena's wedding did i know about the final line in the "something old" ryhme. For those of you who don't know it goes:Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.

flower girl baskets are DONE! yay and I am so very excited about them. this is THE best alternative to paying $40 for some generic ugly flower basket! I got two small woven baskets (w/o handles) for $3 at hobby lobby. Took the amazing Pottery Barn gift wrap ribbon (just a side note: if anyone goes to Pottery Barn anytime soon and buys something ask for some of their ribbon, it matches the green dress perfectly its amazing. I can use all of the ribbon i can get from them), some jute yarn for some texture, and a flower from a sprig of flowers from HL. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Hopefully Gabrielle and Isabella will like them too...


Topher's pillow is also done and cost a studly $5! I went to Hobby Lobby and bought some satin fabric, Pottery Barn ribbon from their gift wrap, some jute yarn and stuffing! Perfect and it matches everything else! I love this stuff, making all these personalized elements. hooray for weddings and being crafty!
