I love the bracelets you wore with the red dress. Are they gold? Where did you get them?

you are a true survivor to get married that day! I saw Pearl Jam at the football stadium that day and it was still hovering around 40C at when we left at 10pm! ugh… hope the heat didn't spoil the day too much! (and lucky you didn't go for real flowers, they wouldn't have survived the morning!)

Thanks so much, I loved it, I actually asked friends and family overseas who couldn’t make it to the wedding to send me the buttons, so I can carry their well wishes with me on the day… and I really enjoyed making it! I’m looking at selling custom made bouquet over at Etsy…

Thanks! i was really lucky, My friend’s aunty is actually a retired dress maker and she made wedding dress all her life. The beading took forever…I held beading parties with a bunch of friends who help with the beading… I would suggest for you talk to people from community college, they normally have course teaching beading on weekends and after work. Also at craft shops, once I met a old lady when I was looking at ribbons and I ended up having coffee with her and she taught me all these nifty tricks on making ribbon flowers!

Thanks!! Yeah, I got really lucky, my friend’s aunty is a retired dress maker specializing in wedding attire. The beading took forever… I had beading parties (maybe more than one…)with a bunch of girlfriends to help out…
You can contact local women’s groups and look at community college leisure courses (I learnt to make jewelry after work… and if you ask your teachers, they normally know somebody…) you can visit craft shops too, I found a lady when I was looking at ribbons and asked her what she was making, I ended up buying her a coffee and she taught meal these tricks on making ribbon flowers..
