I LOVE Emily and Nick Taylor! They are probably my favorite couple, and when Em asked me to be a part of her...I mean "their" ;)....big day I was beyond thrilled! I knew that Em would come up with brilliant ideas and I couldn't wait to help bring her visions to life. I am posting pictures below of some of the things I had a hand in, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

| Making the flower girl's skirt was probably my favorite project! I just made the skirt; the top was actually her own little cotton dress. The feathers were just so beautiful and went so well with the overall feel of the wedding. Em emailed me a picture of this and I created it with no pattern or instructions...so needless to say I am pretty pleased with my self :) |
 |
For anyone interested, I will reproduce this skirt, or one similar, upon request...
I want a grown-up version! |

| Silk Dupioni flowers |
 |
| Our bridesmaid dresses were beautiful, and versatile (and pretty comfortable to boot!) but being true to Em's style, they needed a little extra umph! So I made 12 silk flowers to pin onto the dresses |
 |
| While at a dress fitting, we put a veil on Em, and loved the look of a birdcage but did not love their prices! The ones in the salon were over $100 and I am sorry, that is highway robbery. I told Em not to fret, and not to worry about what anyone else liked, that I would make her whatever she wanted...and of course it couldn't be plain! So I added some feathers from the flower girls dress and a few pieces of my great grandmothers costume jewelry. It was perfect! |
 |
| Here is Em and her mom after just putting on the veil. |
 |
| These were definitely my largest undertaking for the wedding! They are yarn balls made with paper mache paste and balloons! I made just over 50...though we did lose a few on the car ride up. Thank goodness I drive a sporty little Honda Fit that can hold a surprising amount! |
 |
| We hung them in clump down the walkway to the reception and put battery operated votive candles in them. They were particularly beautiful after the sun had set |
