Fabulous Unusual Bridal Bouquets..

My friend (that I’ve had for a bazillion years) is getting married.  I’ve been thinking a lot about her fall wedding.  Here are some really beautiful and unusual bridal bouquets.  Maybe they will inspire her.. Or you if you are getting married.

Bridal bouquets, vintage brides, older bride, beautiful unusual bouquets.

These are traditional with an edge.. I love them!

Mon Ami wants her flowers to be sunflowers (I think).. these could easily be done

up that way..  or would look great as a Christmas Wedding.

Beaded Wedding Bouquet by Copperglass $490.00  Check it out HERE.

Here’s what Copper Glass has to say about their creation: ***This listing is for a custom order wedding bouquet. I do not currently have one of these in stock but will create one upon demand. I will need 2-4 weeks to make your bouquet and ship it. I will also take an offer on the price. I can also make other types of bouquets with other types of flowers. This is just to show as an example.***

Make a bold statement with a french beaded flower bouquet at your wedding. Unlike real flowers, this bouquet will last a lifetime and will be a lovely keepsake of your special day.

This bouquet will consist of 10-12 poinsettias. The one shown in the picture has 11. There are 9-10 bracts aorund the center 5 flowers. (If you know about poinsettias then you will understand what I mean by this). The flowers/bracts are created with size 11/0 seed beads all on enamelled copper wire. And all stems are floss wrapped using rayon floss to give the stems a much more elegant look…Although they more than likely wont be showing anyway: depending on what sort of base you prefer.

The coloration can be multi as shown or all one color. I recommend the multi-color so the flowers will stand out and create interest. You choose what coloration you want. I.E.: whites, creams, pinks, reds, multi with any colors you want, (or some other coloring). I will create a variation of the color you choose to thus add dimension and interest in your bouquet.

I will wrap the base in satin/silk or some other sort of wrap. You can decide on what sort of base you like and send me pictures of how you want the base to look.

Convo me with any questions. This is something I want you to enjoy and appreciate as well as make a statement on who you are at your wedding. I will provide pictures and keep in touch throught the creation process so we get it just right!

Thanks for looking!

Boutique Clothing for Girls or What #3 Dreams About..

boutique clothing for girls

This is #3’s favorite.. Made by etsy Seller: Flowers n Butterflies

#3 loves girlie dresses.  When she was younger she would dress up EVERY DAY.  That’s just the kind of girl she is.  Sometimes I’ve thought that I might make clothing to sell on eBay or etsy.. but then it would take my hobby I love and make it work.. Maybe you know someone that can sew and could make a little cash selling handmade boutique clothing… 🙂

Here’s a look at some Etsy sellers that know how to make Boutique Dresses for little girls.

This dress is SO over the top.. but I love it!

eBay Queen 5 Sewing Projects 0

If you follow my To-Do list.. (GET A LIFE) I’m kidding.. thank you for reading my boring lists.. You would know that I have been working on some pressing projects.  #1 has a wedding to go to, and for some reason COULD NOT wear any of the clothing she owns.. or buy any new clothing.  #4 needed a yellow tie made for his dance recital costume, #3 needed a solo costume made for her dance “A Day with the Cat in the Hat”.  Along with that costume.. she thought it would be cute to have her two younger brothers (#4 and #5) dress up as Thing 1 and Thing 2… SO I made those costumes also.  I am SO glad I took the the clothing and textile classes all 4 years in high school, or my kids would be out of luck!

I present to you Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Here’s #3 in her skirt.  I still need to put the sequins on it.

I think she really likes it when she spins in it.  I thought the costume

looked a little pirate-ish to me.  Argh! Matey!

Wrestle-Mania is alive and well at my house.

#1 chose some vintage fabric we had downstairs for her skirt.

The fabric was a pain to work with.. but I think it turned out pretty cute.

I forgot to take a photo of #4 in his tie… but I promise I made it too 🙂

Dreaming of Mother’s Day Dresses…

According to my friend (a pastor), Mother’s Day is the 3rd biggest “church” going day of the year.  I guess you could say that my family and I are pretty big church goers ourselves..  Normally I just throw something on and get the monkey’s dressed.  When I arrive at church, I feel pretty good that we are there and all my children have combed hair.  If I let myself dream.. I wonder what it would be like to arrive in style.. looking cute… so here I have picked out a few little frocks on Etsy to wear to church and (if I’m lucky) dinner on Mother’s Day.  Which is your favorite?  Mine is the black striped or maybe the orange one.  Really I like them all.

How about this one with some cherry red ankle strap heels like Joan Crawford would wear?
