When we left off I was swooning over the look and design of Imperial Russia, but I wasn’t sure if that could be worked into the wedding in any way. This past Sunday at the St. Lawrence Market Antique Market I found the perfect item to incorporate my love of Imperial Russia into our wedding.
Here it is:
What is it, you ask?
It’s my version of a ring bearer dish! I am in love with the Paloma’s Nest Ring Bearer dishes and I’d been looking my last few visits to the antique market for something I could use as a substitute ring bearer dish. My original plan was to find a small Wedgwood Jasperware plate or small dish like this one.
I see these all the time at the antique market and thought one of these would work really well, especially since our reception will be held in a room painted to look like Wedgwood Jasperware.
However, once I saw this dish I knew I had to go with it. It’s so original and gorgeous and I think it’s the perfect way to incorporate my love of Imperial Russia in a subtle way!
What are you using to carry your rings during the ceremony?
Love it! My rings will be put on our Ring Dog’s Leash. I think. Maybe.
Such an original idea! I love that you’ve chosen something from your heritage
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this post. Absolutely love this idea.
Ahh! I have that plate! My grandmother left it to me along with several other Russian fairytale themed plates. What a fabulous idea Miss Knitting!
@rumswizzle: I’m so jealous! What an amazing heirloom.
If you’re looking for inspirations on tsarist russia, you must check out gennady spirin’s illustrations. Especially from the Tale of the Firebird. found some here: http://artpassions.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/russian-fairy-tales-a-new-firebird/ but there are much better ones in the book.
