Bridesmaid Accessories

     Good morrow, comrades.

     I have at length completed my bridesmaid outfit.  As with the dresses, Anwen has allowed the other bridesmaids and I to choose our own accessories, provided that they adhere to the wedding's theme and colour palette. 

     I decided that a garland would be appropriately woodsy, and, rather than purchasing one online, I decided to make my own.  To make it, I bought a plain garland of twigs, and removed some of them to achieve the desired width.  I then cut up a stalk of false pussy-willow, and wove the pieces through the twigs, attaching them with bits of thin green twine.  Then, I took a couple of green butterflies I found at a craft store, and painted details on them with acrylic paint, and wired those to the twigs as well.

Here it is.  What thinkest thou?

 

 

 

     For my earrings, I went on a website called etsy.com, which features a wide variety of handmade products.  I found a lovely little pair of bronze earrings made with jade and Czech glass beads that went rather well with my garland.  Furthermore, in the description, they were called "Wood Nymph earrings."  I thought it fitting, therefore, I have ordered them.

 

 

 

     Pretty, no?  They should arrive in about a week.  My dress will soon be here as well, and then I can try on my outfit all together.

 

     Fare you well, viewers.  I wish you all a good day, or night, as the case may be.
