This weekend she is coming into town for a bridal shower. One of the traditions at a shower is to make a bouquet from the ribbons on the gifts. This bouquet will be used at the wedding rehearsal.
I made these flowers from the lace on my mom's wedding dress. Mom's wedding dress is 66 years old and the lace is deteriorating in places. Time to repurpose "something old." Mom's favorite color was blue and although it's hard to tell from the photo, flower on the right is light blue. That fabric was underneath the lace dress to puff it out. A new use for "something blue."
The past joy comes together with the present happiness.
How sweet,
