My Make Believe Wedding

Remember I mentioned that I wanted to start marketing my crochet work to the weddings sector?  I can't just tell brides that my garlands would look great at their weddings, I have to show them.  So, I've been planning this special photo shoot for weeks.

bridal table
I got up early yesterday morning with it all planned out.  I had already baked cupcakes, with gluten, but I didn't even taste a morsel!  And you know what? I was completely ok with that.  I made my coffee and then got to work frosting those cupcakes ( I did taste the frosting;)).

bridal table
I ironed the tablecloth and wrapped some "presents".
 
frosted oatmeal box
I frosted the cake.  It's an oatmeal box!  Pretty tricky, huh?

bridal table
I arranged everything just so.

cupcakes
I really had fun doing this! 

my helper
I had a LOT of helpers! I don't blame them; that Italian meringue was really yummy!

party table
After the "wedding" was over, we had a party!  Actually, I really felt like I should have invited some people over!  All that effort to set this up, it seemed like I should be entertaining.

I've been spending a lot of time looking at wedding blogs.  They are all so pretty.  DH and I didn't have a wedding; that's a story for another post.  I was completely ok with not having a wedding then, but looking at the blogs at all the handmade weddings, makes me kind of want the prettiness of it.  I just might have to plan a really pretty fancy handmade party:)

Ok, now somebody tell me what to make for dinner tonight.  Or better yet, bring it to me!

  1. My downfall is the bridal photography- we had completely fine (and boring) photos done by his aunt. I'm so grateful she was willing to do that, butttttt...wouldn't it be fun to have art quality portraits of yourself?? :) This photoshoot looks amazing!!

  5. Bobbi goes Bridal!

    Very nice!

    And can you blame that bee for coming to the party??

    Your whole table looks wonderful, but the garland makes it especially festive.

    You need to stress to the brides how they can keep the garland and re-use it every year on their anniversary and other fun events.

    Now if you really want to get rid of those cupcakes, my address is.........
