I inherited the wedding dresses of my Mother and Grandmother but neither was in a condition to wear for my upcoming wedding, nor did either dress fit me anyway. I decided to take them apart to use what decorations and fabric pieces that I could for the new dress I’m having made and for accessories. … Continue reading Ring Bearer Pillow Made from Upcycled Wedding Dresses →

Here you can see some of the finished wedding jewelry being worn by me and Matron of Honor Laura Cibulka.

Here are some parts I'm working on for my necklace and earrings.

This picture is from the December 1997 issue of Bead and Button Magazine. I thought over the years if I ever get married I want to make myself a necklace and earring set like this. Well, I am finally getting married and this style would look good with my dress so I am making them!

Bracelet for the Matron of Honor. The little dangle at the end comes off to wear as a charm on other things if desired. It also helps balance the bracelet while it's being worn, so that the clasp doesn't ride up to the top of the wrist where it's easily seen.

This photo shows a couple more of the flower sprays in use. I made them with similar colors but mixed the silk flower varieties and foliage. This is partly to save money by using upcycled silk flowers from Leftovers, etc. and partly because I prefer things not to be too matchy-matchy as they say. Groom's parents are at the lower left.

Here is one of the twelve flower sprays I made.

In progress: sprays of silk flowers for the ends of pews.

Here I am with Kate Fournier who made my dress. Take a bow Kate!

Here is how the dress turned out! It was made by Kate Fournier, as was Tom's tie and pocket square. I made the veil from parts of my Mom's veil and new tulle fabric. I also made the lapel flowers, my bouquet, and my jewelry. The tie fabric, dress fabric, veil fabric and most of the flowers for my bouquet were from JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts. #handmadewithjoann
