Flower Girl Pinafore {Beautiful DIY Idea}

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

From the Fabulous Martha Stewart

When choosing which table linen to use, take your flower girl’s height into account. A taller child will require a table runner; a shorter one may only need a place mat. Semitransparent fabric such as this linen allows petals to show through. Wide ribbon that complements your decor looks prettiest.

Flower Girl Pinafore How-To:


1. Fold the linen in half end to end. Cut a ribbon long enough to encircle the waist and tie in the back; slip it into the fold. Tack the ribbon to both ends with a needle and thread.

2. Fold the front piece of the linen up so that the end meets the fold with the ribbon in it (effectively halving the top layer, making a pocket). Sew the pocket in place along both sides with a needle and thread.

3. Fill the pocket to the brim with colorful petals before tying the apron around your flower girl’s waist.

Where did you find YOUR wedding gown???

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Inspired by this post from It’s a Jaime Thing, I had to pull out the magazine where I first laid eyes on my wedding gown. It was the Feb/March 2008 issue of Brides magazine. I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on it. I KNEW it was the one. Well…that is after I found out there was going to be a trunk show at a local bridal shop and I could get the 10% trunk show discount AND I got to meet the designer, Mr. Edric Woo of Tara Keely!

Ahhhh, what a great memory!

And me in mine…

I moved the ribbon to an empire waist and added a broach to make it all my own!

We had an outdoor wedding at a restaurant so I chose not to wear a veil since it seemed a little too formal, but if I had worn one…

it would have been one of these beauties from Sara Gabriel
