Last year we had enormous fun getting ready for our daughter and son in law’s wedding. It was a privilege for us to do some hand crafted things as a way of showing our love and support of them. There are so many ideas of what you can do, it boils down to what suits the bride and groom and how much do you can and want to do. Fortunately family on both sides combined their talents to do these special things. I have some of Ruth Gilmour photographer amazing photos to show the efforts that made it to the day.

The variety stuns me, these are only a few of the hundreds we dried for the day.
