The Great Bridal: April 2009

we've been collecting ideas and thoughts on this wedding for months (years?) but trying to pull it all together into a cohesive vision is tough. this is a first shot-- void of much color because we still haven't committed to a palette. we've thought about sage green and.... (ivory? gold? lavendar? brown? plum? suggestions? i really just don't know.) it's funny, because it's shaping up into a more formal affair than i had first thought it would be, and i'm totally fine with that. it's a big occasion, it should feel special. the vibe is something like " timeless elegance and bits of whimsy." classy without taking ourselves too seriously.

4. I can't remember where i got this. If you know, tell me and I'll give credit where it's due! Anyway, we could do something simple like this for cocktail hour tables, maybe in vintage juice glasses?
5. Knot bio Still considering the trolley in place of a limo.
6. The wedding photo project, I'm thinking of ways to do something like this on the path from the terrace, which people will take between the cocktail hour and the reception.
7. Martha Stewart Weddings- I don't care much about the cake- just something simple and classic. oh, and delicious.

9. Allforyourwedding.com love this- so much cuter than the brides pulling the groom across the cake against his will...
10. Wikipedia- Morning wear
11. Working on figuring out where I found this- love the tree.

14. Martha Stewart Weddings--- placecards like this using moocards for the tags?
15. Anne Ruthman Photography- still pondering inexpensive centerpieces...
16. The Knot- wedding programs. They remind me of grade school Valentines- sweet.

p.s. neither of those dresses are like mine, don't worry.

Bridal Necklace With Silver Pendant

A Friend Loves At All Times, originally uploaded by Destiny's Creations.

This necklace features a heart shaped fine silver pendant with the proverbial quote "A Friend Loves at all Times."

This pendant was created with Art Silver Clay (ACS), which is a combination of fine silver (.999 silver), organic binders and water. After firing it in my kiln, the organic binders dissipate and what is left is a 99.9% fine silver pendant. I applied a light patina to this pendant and polished this pendant.

It is strung on a sterling silver box chain necklace, which measures 18 inches. I have finished this necklace with a heart shaped toggle clasp.
