Every once in a while I get to do a wedding piece. I have done veils, hair combs and the occasional bracelet. This past weekend my brother in law got married and I was fortunate enough to get to make a bracelet for his bride, Shannon.
(in the process of working on it)
Shannon's mom had handed over her own wedding dress for Shannon to use however she wanted to for her wedding. I was pretty nervous to start cutting into someone else's wedding dress, but it got easier after we chopped an arm off.
We decided that the best piece of lace for the bracelet was the point that came around the wrist and pointed down the hand. In order to make it continue to lay flat, I brought a string of beads from the point and into a ring around her middle finger. Shannon helped pick out seed bead accents that went along with her wedding dress. This bracelet had a snap closure and we used one of the little fabric buttons from the back of her mom's dress as a detail over the closure. All of the crystal and pearl accents came off of her mom's tiara veil.
I also had a chance to snap a picture of her shoes after she switched into flip flops at the wedding. They're a little dirty from running around the yard taking photos and the ceremony, it reminds me of how trashed my shoes at my own wedding got! I had mentioned that we were working on shoes together in this previous post. The lace on her shoes is also from her mother's wedding dress.
