I spent the weekend doing a bunch of DIY and can't wait for the AW day!

This is the floral pomander for the flower girl to carry. Got the foam-ish roses at a dollar store, look so real!


This is one of the wreaths for the chapel doors, if we can put them up....... not sure because it's an historic site. Crossing my fingers. Made with the sola roses from save on crafts, with some baby's breath in the clearance aisle at Joann's.


These are my flip-flops, purchased at Wal-Mart with some beaded trim and flowers from Joann's.


Bridesmaid flip flops I got for $1 long ago at Michael's, with some flowers and beaded trim from Michael's. (Not a great pic, but they look pretty good).

    Thanks ladies.

    Lisa, the sola flowers from save on crafts are fab! I'm making some napkin enclosures from them, but the info on the website was incorrect: instead of 12 per box, there were 18 ! So I decided to make the wreaths with some of the extras. I'm not sure they come in other colors though as they are made from sola wood, which is off white. I would imagine they can be spraypainted, or the fronts could be dipped in paint. I ordered the roses, not the gardenias, which were out of stock.  

    Emarston, well, the dress..........haven't started yet. Honestly, it won't be that tough, the actual main dress will only take about a day. I finally had my VERY excellent seamstress friend come over Friday, and we went over my plans. She made her daughter's dress out of similar silk and said it's a dream to work with, which is good to know. I'm truly not sweating it, LOL. So, I have her "blessing" on the dress construction from 3 different patterns. I'll have to work on it weeknights when Kevin's not around, and hide it on the weekends when he comes over.
