Flower Girl Pinafore {Beautiful DIY Idea}

admin — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 01:38:11 +0000

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???

admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 00:13:56 +0000

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!

Veil or No Veil?

admin — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:41:14 +0000

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.
