As you know, we had a really hectic weekend. Saturday was the wedding day. Meg was the flower girl so we had some extra duties. In order to look nice, Meg and I spent 21/2 hours at the salon. She's so funny - she was so excited and asked about a million questions. Luckily, our hairdresser is the best and answered them all good naturedly. Because I like to keep myself hopping, I opted against making an easy wedding card and went with the Iris folded wedding couple. You've seen a variation of this card before (2 years ago!) so I thought I'd bring it back again for this wedding.
This pattern was not created by me. It was created by Sarah over at Circle of Crafters.
The colors of the bridesmaids dresses were two different shades of purple so that dictated my color scheme for this one. I used glossy black cardstock for the groom and poly satin ribbon for the bride. There is not a lot involved in the card except for time. And me, in my rush, wasn't paying attention the first time I cut this out. I accidentally had the pattern backwards and cut it out the wrong way! That will teach me to check all my details the next time.
Other than that, I just added some peel offs and ribbon to finish it off.
The wedding was nice and the kids were well behaved. You don't realize how much waiting around there is at weddings except when you have kids with you. Bless them, they were probably bored 90% of the entire time, but they were great. We have two more weddings to attend this summer (without the kids) but I think I may go a little bit easier on myself for those cards! Have a great night.
What a pretty card. I am sure the bride and groom loved it.
