Today I have just a few minutes but I wanted to check in with you all and say


Welcome!

I am helping two friends with their back yard wedding tomorrow. It has been way fun doing planning, making decorations, etc.

Of course, my kitchen table is currently covered with silk flowers, wire nippers, ribbons, bows, butterflies of metal and silk, swaths of tulle.....
Yep, a real 'explosion' of wedding decor!

So, today let's share a bit about weddings, things I like, fun photos I have found, etc.

Let's look at some pretty, with non-traditional colors, wedding dresses!

This beauty was found at www.pakitrend.com


Here's another red color scheme:

Sorry, don't have any info on where I found this one.

I think that one is very elegant looking.

This one is a 'color dipped' type dress, with the concentration of color at the very bottom.
I can't say I like it very much, how about you?

Just please, please, don't make the color a bright yellow,
with dreams of Big Bird....

This next one HAS to be a favorite, as it has a mermaid theme!

I would wear that one to a cruise ship evening attire event,
or a fancy ball.
Maybe not for a wedding dress...

Here is my idea for a Mermaid Wedding Dress:

I had fun adding the sea shells, star fish, pearls and strands of 'beaded' sea weed to this dress.  Of course, she IS a mermaid, so her wedding tiara
is fresh from the ocean!

Next is a lovely dress that reminds me of fireflies on a summer evening:

I think perfect for an evening garden party!

Here is one for a December wedding:

"Love isn't a state of perfect caring.
It is an active noun like struggle.
To love someone is to strive 
to accept that person 
exactly the way he or she is.
right here
and now."

 Mr. Rogers, "The World According to Mister Rogers"


Celebrities have loved colorful weddings for ages.
