Wedding Prep

It has been a busy time of wedding prep.  It is the type of event that snuck up on us even though we have been anticipating it for months, now all the wedding prep is behind us as is the wedding itself.

The rehearsal luncheon was a success! My daughter and her family did all food prep and decorating, she is very creative.  Everything from the food, party favors and games.  We all had a great day.  And our special event was a wonderful time.

These are great finger food. The green in the back tray is chicken salad on a lettuce leaf.

The favors had seed paper cutouts for the guests to plant as a reminder of the event.

I had a great time making the flower girl headpiece, the photos look more blue than the actual lavender color it is.  It was very exciting to see my Texas family.  We had fun catching up.

Because the flower girl lives out of state I made the headpiece without connecting the back so we can adjust it to her head once she gets here.

The flower girl basket started out as a brown basket.  Not the preferred color, but the preferred shape.  A bit of white paint and layers of lace make it perfect.  The ribbon around the handle softens it slightly for the flower girl to hold.

The paint and lace hide the original color well.

More wedding prep, this sign was a team project, Victoria completed the lettering and I added the leaves.  It will be a nice wall hanging in their new home.  It’s almost time!!  It looked lovely on the head table.

It was a wonderful time or reuniting with family and friends that we have not seen for a long time.  Even though for some folks it has been a couple of years since we have seen each other we just pick up where we left off.  Somehow the time gap seems both long and short as we get together again.

I love the celebration seeing folks laughing, dancing and reconnecting.

Though I know we will still get together I will miss seeing my buddy day-to-day.  Our eating and movie adventures and the updates about her favorite shows were special times.  However, I am very excited for her in her next adventure.  And I am looking forward to all the times we will share as our families blend and grow.

It will be fun to share even more celebrations together.  Now I am hoping to get back to my bi-monthly posting routine.
