Wedding preparation progress

1. One dress down: Alice's. (Well, actually, the zipper and hem aren't finished yet, but will be today!) Elley's is under way. I have ones for Marta, Emma, and Brenna cut out. Those are simple and should go fast.
2. The "fake" bridal bouquet for the pictures to be taken ahead of time. There will be real flowers on the real day. A woman in our church happens to be the oldest of nine, and has planned and produced several of her siblings' weddings. I made a plea for assistance and she was really happy to help out. First, a trip to Hobby Lobby, while all the florals were on 50% off sale, and she knew exactly what was needed.
Second, we (SHE) put it together while a group of us watched a Jane Austen movie. Actually, I did help: I cut some of the stems and glued every one of the blue flowers onto their stem because they came off too easily. Those babies will not come off now!
Gulp! Time is getting short.
Back to the sewing machine!
