She and Iwan decided to get married in Mauritius and unfortunately I couldn't attend the wedding, so I decided to send her a little something for the day itself.
When she was still planning to have the "Big Traditional Wedding" in Riversdale, she had her heart set on a blue theme, but that then got canned when Mauritius came along. This gave me a starting point for the colour of the flowers that I wanted to make for her.
Being a beach wedding I knew it wasn't going to be very formal and she would probably not do the whole "something old, something new" thing, but I wanted her to have something blue nonetheless.
I made 3 long stemmed blue bead flowers to get incorporated into Lara's bouquet, 2 blue hairclips for her beautiful hair. And for Iwan I made a little bunch of 4 flowers as a button hole thingie.
I sent it to my other sister, Melissa, because she and her partner was going to be the only other guests at the wedding and I wanted her to give it to Lara on the day.
As it happens, the package never made it before they flew out to the wedding, but at least I knew that the idea was there and she knows that I was thinking of her on her Big Day! (That the South African postal service for you :( )
Have a look and let me know what you think.
