Wedding Crafting!

So the past few nights have been about wedding crafting or at least buying the things  I need to finish some of my crafts.  Let me tell you, I love the craft store, but even I'm sick of them after 3 visits to 3 different stores.  


But guess what?!  I finally made two things for the wedding!  WOO! 


The first craft I took up was making the jewelry for my bridesmaids.  I knew I wanted to make their jewelry so that it was somewhat special.  I was also realistic that it would never look like fancy store-bought jewelry but that was a-okay with me :) 

Our colors are chocolate, ivory and cranberry.  The girls' dress are from David's Bridal and look like this in Truffle (think milk chocolate) color:

They are cute and simple.  They can have straps if they want or not. I left that up to my ladies to decide what was comfortable for them. 

So for my not so fancy but made from the heart jewelry:

What do you think? I am glad about how they turned out but also my own worst critic so I've asked a few folks their thoughts and all were positive. 

As for the second craft, our Flower Girl is our niece and she will be 4.  I didn't make her jewelry because I didn't want to overwhelm her.  I decided to make her a hair barrette (which I forgot to take a picture of) and a flower girl basket.  Please excuse my fingers in the picture.  I was tired and uninterested in fiddling with it. 

And now because you made it this far :)
