things have been so busy lately but i have made so much progress in terms of the wedding! i decided to start collecting various milk-glass pieces for the flower arrangements for the reception. my mom and i have been antiquing like mad and i've collected about a dozen pieces so far. i promise i'll post pics soon. i can't wait to see them on the tables with white hydrangeas or peonies or gardenias or magnolias -- i know! i need to talk to a florist and start making some decisions! anyway, is anyone else collecting milk glass? i think it's a beautiful way to incorporate history as well as a wonderful way to recycle beautiful things from the past. and it's been so much fun!
i also found some beautiful antique sheet music that i'll be using to make cones for the petal-tossing ... has anyone seen a step-by-step to make the cones? i thought it would be really simple but maybe the paper just isn't the right size? any ideas?
oh, i also found the most gorgeous antique pin that i'll have to find someway to incorporate -- either on the dress or in my hair or something -- i'll have to post a pic later.
i also think i've found THE dress.
xoxo,

playing catch-up.

Gosh I love milk glass. I know for sure that I've seen instructions for making paper cones on marthastewart.com - I think there a few variations on there.
ReplyDeletelove the dress!! glad you are back and I also think there are instructions on martha stewart
ReplyDeleteLove the dress - have you seen the monique lullhier one that's similar? It goes a bit lower in the neckline. If you're interested, the link is:

I'm using milk glass, too. It makes a beautiful glow when you put candles in it!
ReplyDeleteI've bought a TON of milk glass on ebay! The shipping does add up. When is your wedding? Mine is in July, and I think I'll sell some of it after the wedding. Let me know if you're interested - I have some really beautiful pieces. Silver crest as well as hobnail.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the dress. I tried on the ML version and SO not for me. A bit too sexxy for my wedding. I love this neckline and think you've found the classic dress with just the right amount of sexxxy, not too much! Plus that back, they said the back of the dress gets more attention than the front. I love them both!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to favor cones at MS from last winter's magazine.

Ok, so sorry, the link clearly didn't come through. Just search "favor" and "cone" -- you'll see it at the top. They're very pretty blue and gold cones.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the dress! And, love the idea of peonies in milkglass!! I definitely think you can find directions for the cones from Martha Stewart. That is such a clever and wonderful idea!!!
