My Jewelry
I made my necklace and bracelet from a pattern in a book I bought.
The diamond pendant is from a necklace my husband bought me. I sewed the pendant into the necklace.
The pendant will have to be cut out of the necklace so I can wear it on a simple chain again.

Bridesmaid's Jewelry
Jewelry for the bridesmaids
I went to Michaels and bought a bead making jewelry book.
It has been so helpful!
The one I got is called Seed Bead Stitching.
The bracelets are just three different bracelets.
I used pearls and then put a small clear seed bead in between all the pearls.
It gives them just a little sparkle.
I strung them on stretchy string.
The necklace is from a pattern in the book I bought.
I decided to get thread that was made for this sort of thing. (I don't want it to break)
The thread is kind of pricey, but to me, well worth it.

Corsages
Corsages
These are the corsages for the moms and grandmas.
The flowers are made with wire.
I got the pattern online somewhere for the big flower and then I made up the rest of the design.
I put it on 3 pearl bracelets like the ones above.

Flowers for the Bridesmaid's Hair
Flower Hair clips for Bridesmaids
This took me 3 attempts before I got what I wanted.
The problem was that they stuck up too far off the head.
I bought ivory ribbon that was 2 1/2" wide.
Then I cut a rough circle out of it. (for these I used 9 circles)
Burned the edges with a lighter.
Did the same for the color ones. (used 5 color petals)
The color ribbon was only an inch wide and shear.
Hand sewed it together.
Put a gem in the middle with hot glue.
Hot glued the feathers to the back and then put on another petal with glue.
Hot glued a hair clip to the back.
So easy!

Flowers for the Junior Bridesmaids
My junior bridesmaids are my daughter and step-daughter.
They will be wearing grey.
So their hair flower is a little different and more like mine.

Flower for Bride's Hair
Bride's Flower Hair Clip
So I made a flower for my hair. Very similar to the bridesmaids flowers.
Except the center is a button I bought.
I also used just a little tulle from my veil.
I plan to put the flower in my hair at the reception after I take my veil off.
Total cost $3.00
At the last minute I made a flower for my mom's hair that looked just like mine. I had left over fabric from my custom made straps on my dress and used that to make her flower. It made her cry.
