Last weekend I was thrilled to be a part of my dear friends’ wedding. You may have seen some photos on Facebook already. These friends have been dating for a long time, so it was wonderful to see them so happy to marry each other that day.
There were a few things that I particularly liked about the wedding that I thought I’d share with you.
On the Friday I helped out with making table decorations. I’ve never done flower arranging before, but it was lots of fun. I oiled vine leaves, cut them up and used them to cover an oasis (the green pad that you stick flowers into). Someone else cut all the other pieces and eventually it was organised into an assembly line. Here’s the final product:
I was one of the bridesmaids and I loved the dresses and shoes that we wore. It wasn’t a typical ‘formal’ dress, and I think this is what the bride was going for, something a bit different. They were a beautiful blue and white pattern with some white stripes. We also had orange shoes to contrast. I liked that it was different from the typical or traditional wedding style (though my own wedding was pretty traditional). I like that the bride and groom were happy to do things their own way. I love that I’ll definitely be able to wear this dress again, and it will remind me of this wonderful day.
Another thing that was different than typical was that the bridesmaids didn’t have flowers. Instead we carried large Scrabble-style letters, representing the bride and groom. This photo was taken outside after the wedding and we’re huddling close together because the breeze was cold.
But the best part of the wedding was seeing these two dear friends finally getting married. They looked so happy as it was happening, and then relieved when it was done. I am looking forward to seeing their love for each other grow and continuing our friendship with them.
Congratulations J & E!
