Their title

This is my last piece that I have done for her beside the boutonniere which she had two kinds. One we had to insert a candle and the other ones almonds so yes we were very busy.  My daughter also wanted the bridal table to be decorated with their name so she ordered Mr and Mrs and their surname. It was raw mdf so I bought undercoat and paint spray. It has to be done slowly so you don't get drips and also covers evenly. So I managed to make them with a lot of patience.

Bird cage

My daughter wanted me to just decorate this cage for her. She bought the birds online. I just had to make a veil for one and bought the hat and add a tiny blue ribbon on it for the other bird. I tried to make the hat but she wasn't satisfied so I found one that almost fit the bird and I used that instead. I put flowers and attach them with wire and finally I added the pearls.We also added a nest inside but it is also not shown in these pictures.

Garters

Here are the garters I made I bought more material then I needed so I made three of them. I just had to join the seams and add ribbon and on one of them I did a buckle of some sort. The middle one has it if you look closer. This was so easy to make and much cheaper too. There are pink but she needed something blue.

Bride's bouquet

Here is the bride's bouquet. Again I made it up to her taste. she wanted feathers, pearls, net and satin ribbon. It is the shape she wanted it to be. I also added a ribbon but I can't take photo of it sorry guys.

Bridesmaid flowers

Lucky for me I happened to have learnt florist course many years ago. I used my skills when my eldest daughter got  married. This time was for my youngest daughter. She also had three bridesmaid so I made three bouquets. As I said before she chose her flower colours. Here they are sorry about the mess on the sides but my phone is not working properly.

Decorated stairs

I decorated the stairs with chiffon material and wired ribbons which you can find in Spotlight. For you foreigners is a shop where they sell materials, curtains, bedding and loads of craft materials. This was very easy to make. On you tube there are many kinds of how to make different kinds of bows. Pick the one you prefer I tied a thin ribbon long enough to go around the wood of the stairs. I then made the swags according to how I wanted the look and put the bow at that point and kept going till I covered the top of the stairs. It looked nice when my daughter came down the stairs as a bride. This was very costly the wired ribbon costed more then I expected but sometimes it happens that you need to spend more to get the look you want eh! The material wasn't cheap either so I think all up costed me more then a $150 or around there. Here is a picture of how it looked. I forgot I also added net to the ribbons meter and a half of ribbon and so much net to make one ribbon.

Ring cushion

My daughter asked my to make her a ring cushion for her wedding and to buy it was $30 or more. I can make it for much less money and it will be original. I bought some satin material, delicate lace if I may say so Two different sizes of white satin ribbons and a lovely heart brooch  to go in the center of the cushion. I enjoyed making this cushion I made it 8 by 8 inches. I joined the lace from the middle because the lace I bought was about 3 inches or so and I wanted the edges to look like the picture. I centered one thin ribbon and one wide ribbon before I pinned well. The ribbons were as wide as my cushion which was 8 inches.ans sewed the cushion all around except for a  gap of 4 inches or so. I inserted some polyester filling and sewed by hand the opening neatly. Done a nice size wide ribbon for the top and added the brooch in the middle too. I also put a thin ribbon for the rings. So from the back you can see a thin ribbon to stick your hand to hold the cushion. I really like how it came. It looks more expensive then the ones I saw at the shops. Material wise and all. I am very pleased with the finish look.

Decorating candles sticks

I decorated these wedding candles sticks with lace and ribbon. I also added a band of lovely thingy I don't even know what it's called. My daughter showed me a picture of how she wanted them more or less. I bought some ribbon and lace of her chioce of colour. I used hot glue to stick everything together according to how I wanted the look. Also what I did burn the ends of the ribbon slightly without leaving black burn. I also bought lovely buttons and I used pliers to cut the loop so it sticks flat more. Here is a picture of my candles sticks it was really fun to make. A closer look before I added the ribbon on.

Corsages

I made these corsages for my daughter's wedding which happened yesterday. I made these out of artificial flowers. My daughter chose the flowers and colours we bought way too many extra flowers. It wasn't very hard to make added feathers and pearls to them and ribbon to finish them up. One lady wanted the corsages on her wrist so I made that on a pearl bracelet. Here is a picture of all of them plus one for my grandson.
