Miss Katie & Mr Noel

A month ago The Wonderful Dutchman and I were at Miss Katie's & Mr Noel's wedding. It was a glorious day of love, laughter, happiness and tipi's! It seems like 4 months ago & I cant believe I havent blogged her bouquet! 

Miss Katie originally wanted an ivory bouquet, but once she had found her dress and told me about it we decided on a mixture of purples....3 different tones worked a treat!!

I tried different colours to bind the bouquet....it took a while to finally go bold with her handle...the plum worked so well, and a little change is always good.

Miss Katie married my best friend. I have known him since I was 12, shockingly that was 18 years ago. Noel is a wonderful friend, always positive, happy and possibly the most talkative person I know. He is so hardworking. He traded his talents in metal work for their wedding bands, making protective window frames for the jeweler who created their rings....stories like that are never far away with this adorable couple :)

I cannot express what pride I had seeing them get married. Being a little part of it was beautiful.

I wish this gorgeous little family all the luck, love, health, wealth and happiness this Magpie can give.

Here is to may more cute babies, a lifetime of holding hands, a showering of kisses every day, a million hugs and for the stars to shine so brightly over their marriage.

I love you guys!!

Wiring, Sore Fingers & The End Product...

Well it has been a manic time for this little Magpie. Last minute orders, and emotional brides.

I have searched... cleaned... wired... wired... wired... pinned... and made beautiful 2 full shower bouquets in the same time it would normally take to make a small sparkling hand tied.... and I have to say I am very proud of the end products!!

What do you all think??

Both are not quite finished I will take more photos when they are! Someone please pass the hand cream....! x
