Then I Will Do it Myself…

Then I Will Do it Myself…

One of the things I’m tackling in March is attire for the entire bridal party. So, here is what we have so far.

Flower Girls’ dresses – check (By the way, I was randomly shopping at Marshall’s one day and spun by the kid’s clothes and found 2 ivory flower girl dresses for $30 each.)

Bridesmaid dresses – check (Originally $200 at Anthropologie and marked down to $50.)

Bride – check (Purchased my dress off the rack at a discount + no tax)

For the girls, I AM missing flowers for the girls’ hair, a flower for my hair and a bridal sash. I’m not a huge fan of the bejeweled organza sash that came with my dress so I plan to strip it for parts (vintage-y jewels) and use them to make my own fabric flowers. I’ve been searching for inspiration and here is what has struck my fancy.

These are gorgeous, but none of them have exactly what I want. I want a sash that has a few flowers on it. Not just a few flowers, but a few different styles of flower. For example, one made of organza that’s light and ethereal, one of silk that looks more like a traditional flower and a floppy dahlia made of chiffon. I want that sash to be the main event. Since I can’t find it elsewhere, I suppose… I will do it myself! Journey with me as I attempt to craft a bridal sash.

Are you attempting to craft something for your wedding day attire that you’ve never made before?

i think that’s a lovely idea–the only thing close to that i can think of for inspiration is the belt on the vera wang luxe audrey dress, but i can’t imagine how much that costs. can’t wait to see how yours turns out!

@AprilBride10: Ooh. Love these. I wish I could sit at home all day and just work on these.
@Miss Pug: I’ll check that out. I have made several types of flowers. I just have to decide which ones and what kind of fabric. We’ll see how it goes!

I’m thinking of making a hair flower, too. Sigh. I feel like I am being over ambitious with my projects

I’m making my own hair flower. I’m only wearing it for photos & the reception (I’m veil-ing it for the ceremony). I got a pretty peony from save-on-crafts. Should be here tomorrow. I’ll disassemble it & add a little flair!
