Wedding Bouquet

D and I are getting married one week from tomorrow and I am making my bouquet from vintage brooches. Most of the brooches are from my mom and her friends.

I've been wrapping floral wire around the base of each pin, twisting the wire around the stem, and then covering it with floral tape. It's working really well so far. I can't wait to arrange them all together to make my bouquet!

Hatch, NM

On Saturday a few of us drove up to Hatch after the Unravelers Knitting Guild meeting. We went to Sparky's for awesome green chile cheeseburgers. After we ate we walked around Hatch's downtown. Then we went back to Sparky's to knit.

Sparky's has another downtown storefront at the corner of Franklin and Hall streets with booths and tables and live music on the weekends. We just missed the live music but we had fun knitting in there for hours.

We even took some Sparky's BBQ to go :)

Wedding Decorations

Yesterday I got some supplies for making our wedding decorations. I am going to make tissue paper flowers following this Martha Stewart tutorial.

The colors will be light blue, teal, white, and orange to match our wedding colors.

We are getting married in a public park that has monkey bars in the shape of an arch. I think it would be super cute to hang our tissue paper flowers from the arch and get married in front of it. We'll hang some in our house too as decorations for our party :)
