this is my Dad;s boat that my hubby and I decorated for my Grand daughters wedding. The g kids never knew my Dad but they (all six ) of them play in the boat every summer at the cottage. We thought it would be fun to decorate it for the beverages. It was a big hit.
I hope the pictures down load.

I spent 3 days making the flowers from the bm dress fabric and attaching then to chicken wire for the edge.

Glad to see the picture, it's great. What a nice way to remember all of the fun times on the boat and incorporate it into the wedding.

Yes and another suprize. My Mom's cosmos appear in the bouquet un be know to us. Such a wonderful tribute to both of them. They would have been so honored. Glessings from above.
