Wedding Project

We really wanted to order a custom runner for the wedding but didn't want to spend all the money. So, we sort of "made" our own. We ordered a runner from http://www.originalrunners.com/. Then embelished it with a transfer monogram from http://secure.wonderfulgraffiti.com/. We're going to seal it to make sure it stays. Transfers obviously work better on walls. The monogram is in navy blue. It turned out very, very nice.

Hair Day

Last Tuesday was the wedding hair consultation. The girls looked beautiful when we left. Rachael's MOH look took LOTS of bobby pins. She's instructed to not cut it at all until after the wedding.
This is Lauren's (bride) updo. Her curly hair really looked great like this. The ladies next to her went on and on about how beautiful her veil and hair were. But, we can't show you those pictures till later. ;-)

Wedding Knitting



Above is the "not quite finished" capelet that Lauren (the bride) will wear after the ceremony. It's turned out really pretty and is REALLY soft. The pattern is called Cocktail Capelet. It is actually very easy.

This is the Kelly Cardigan that I knit for Rachael to wear after Lauren's wedding. It has pretty pewter and crystal buttons down the front that I bought at Wool and Company, Geneva, IL.

Wedding Preparations

We're getting excited about DD1's wedding coming up in September. This is DD2 who is the MOH trying on her dress. Slung over the bannister is a sweater that I knitted for her to wear after the ceremony. Below are the invitations I'm using for the bridal shower. Yes, they are a completely different color palette. But, aren't they cute?!

These beautiful cards come from from Pepperina Press, http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13229138. I obviously don't know how to do this right yet. All her cards are so great. She was a big help and went way beyond by getting these printed while she was waiting for her baby to be born. I think he was even late.
We'll keep you posted on more preparations soon.
