One of My Other Passions
 

At the age of 71, most of my friends that are getting married are not having a large fancy wedding because it is their second time around. I have always loved the creative side of life. One of my favorite things to offer as a wedding present is to make their wedding flowers. Here is the latest one that I have just done. I still have to make two arrangements for either side of the archway.

Wow...all are lovely. I love the blue.

What lovely designs and what a thoughtful gift.

beautifully done

Thank you for the comments. It usually takes me about two hours to complete these arrangements. It takes longer to pick out the flowers I want to use than it does to make the arrangements.

I use to make flower and wreath arrangements to sale at craft shows, years ago. I used mainly baskets and lots of flowers,buds,berries, grasssy looking sprays and a bear, bunny or butterflies. They were beautiful and loaded. No one wanted to pay for the contents let alone any profit. I kept them awhile then give them to goodwill. I loved doing it but, didn't like keeping them dusted.
Your flowers are pretty.

I have done flowers for 2 of my daughters weddings and one granddaughter. It is a blessing to be able to do that,

Those are beautiful...I have to say, you have some brave friends! I am 71 and the thought of remarrying is terrifying to me. I don't even have enough nerve to go out to dinner with a man!

Very nice bouquets. I used to bead or wedding dressess and make the bouquets my daughter for her first marriage demanded that I make her silk flowers it was nerve racking but also fun and gave me a great feeling to be able to fulfill her wishes

Sharon, you need to take that first step, even if it is just for friendship. I was 64 when I married my DH and I wouldn't trade one day of it. It is absolutely amazing and you seem to have so much to give someone. GL
