Wedding pomander

Kissing ball or pomander I found that these are called. I made two for the flower girls and since the ages were different I made one slightly smaller as she was only three years old. I never made these before so I searched on you tube how. I love you tube the things I learn from there, but I did a course for making fresh and artificial flowers. I think it is better to know how they are made though I was very, very challenged doing the bride bouquet and no one had a video about large one. I tried many Technics and errors before I came with the ONE. The pearl ribbon I love it so much for these kissing balls. I used smaller roses for these.

Wedding head bands

I made these wedding headbands or whatever they are called for two flowers girls ages three and five. with ribbons matching the bridesmaids' dresses.

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.
