I recently attended the wedding of my nephew in Newburyport, Massachusetts. A beautiful wedding, unfortunately in the middle of a heat wave, but that didn't deter anyone from enjoying the lovely weekend's festivities.
It amazes me, that of all the weddings I have attended in my lifetime, not one of them was exactly the same. Even though many of the wedding ceremonies and receptions had similar traditional elements, each wedding was a personal reflection of that couple.
My daughter got married almost three years ago, but whenever I hear their recessional song or the song they danced their first dance to, I am reminded with joyful tears of that beautiful time in both her life and mine. I made the bouquets for her and the bridal party, the boutonnieres, the centerpieces, the cake topper and other decorations. She made her own invitations, save the dates, and assorted signs and props for the photo booth. For her, it was a piece of cake, since she is a graphic designer, and since I am an art teacher and crafter, I was overjoyed at the thought of helping her create her dream wedding.
I was inspired by that whole experience and with a little prompting from my daughter, I opened my artfire shop. I wrote an earlier post about all the things I made for her wedding, but this time I want to highlight the accessories for the little ones who are possibly the only ones who could steal the show from the bride and groom on their wedding day. That would be the flower girls and ring bearers.
Although my daughter didn't have any little ones in her wedding, I do have quite a few things in my shop for the flower girl and ring bearers. I'd like to share a few of them.
