Even though we had a lot going on Saturday and both Dad and Mom were around the house, we still managed to pull off a little surprise for them, and it was a lot of fun! Mom's wedding colors were ivory, green, and a blueish-gray, so I sought to do a little decorating with that color scheme in mind.
Rachael had come across one of Mom's wedding pictures just a couple of weeks ago and noticed that her wedding bouquet consisted of Lilly of the Valley. So she and I set off Saturday afternoon to track down these flowers and make a replica of her bouquet with silk flowers. Mom's wedding dress also had lace on it, so we found some lace ribbon to wrap the bouquet together. The final product turned out to be beautiful!!!
The finishing touch was Mom's wedding picture. Wasn't she a beautiful bride?
Since Dad had decided to tackle a home repair project in our kitchen that necessitated turning off all the power in the house for most of the day, I had to think creatively on a dessert for the celebration. I thawed leftover cupcakes from our July 4th, smoothed out the icing, and sprinkled them with silver and green sugar crystals. One couldn't tell they had been "recycled"!
And here's the happy couple -
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Number 6:24-26
