July Wedding

Summer weddings were a time for family, friends, and of course LOVE. This glamorous July wedding started with an incredibly beautiful black and white appliqued dress by Allure, and this bride had exactly the right personality and look to pull off this complete package of gorgeousness.

Decorating: A Bit of Heaven

Cake: Lalee Cakes



 Over 100 wine glasses became pillar, votive candle holders, and cake stands. Along with the glasses, crystal vases, and glittering rhinestone broaches,  a whole lot of love brought everything  together to make this one glamorous wedding.

Black and White Photos

It's my favorite wall with some of my favorite people. Faces watching over me in my office.

Black and white pictures make a statement when grouped together, and yes, that is me in the lower left hand corner. 

Blessings,

Sewing Pattern Paper Flower

The sound of the sewing maching, the feel of fabric, and the texture and transparancy of pattern papper. It's part of me. Imprinted upon me as a baby, I'm sure. Listening to my mother's sewing machine,(and my grandmother's), all while being wrapped up in a quilt sitting in a rocking chair. Simultaneously rocking, watching, and listening. Comfort.

It's no wonder that I love to sew, and I love vintage patterns. I use them in my collage pieces, and recently spied a lovely flower made of pattern paper at Vines Vintage; a store in Fort Collins Colorado.

It was a steal, and it has gracefully become a belt for the 

mannequin. 

 

 

 

How cute  would these flowers look as part of the decor in a vintage style wedding? I visualize them used on banners, candle holders, etc. The uses are endless. 

Repurposed and recycled into something lovely, and for me, lets me reflect a little on my past. 
 
Hope you enjoy.......
Happy Creating,
Ele
