Vive les mariés

La semaine dernière à cette heure ci , on préparait la salle...et sérieusement on avait plus chaud !
Le soleil et l'été se sont pris une journée de vacances il semblerait...
Toujours est il que pour le mariage de mon amie samedi dernier, j'avais donc fait le coussin à alliances que voici que voilà...
Le cœur 'Arums et papillons' de chez Princesse


Le thème du mariage c'était les papillons et les couleurs vert anis et marron chocolat... c'est pourquoi le cœur, initialement rose à la base, est passé en marron ... et puis j'ai préféré le lin blanc à l'aïda crème du kit...!


Quand même plus joli...
Le tout a eu son effet, et devrait terminer sous peu , rembourrage en moins biensur , en cadre  souvenir =)
Quelle bonne idée
Je vous laisse sur la photo des serviettes en papier que j'avais pliées pour l'occasion (presque 80) ... en forme de papillons biensur ...
Bon weekend du 14 juillet pour les amis français , en espérant que le soleil remontre le bout de son nez ici !
Et à bientôt pour de nouvelles croix

Last week, at the very same hour, we were preparing the reception room for my friend's wedding.
The weather was really hotter as it seems that today, Summer has taken one day of vacation !
I hope it'll only be one day !
We had a terrible hot weather for the wedding and had a wonderful time, my friend was over the moon, living the day of her life as she had imagined it !

As I told you, I made her the ring bearer pillow...
Here is it then, a design from Princesse, 'Heart with butterflies and arums' , with the backing fabric



The theme of her wedding was butterflies =)

And colours anise green and chocolate brown. That's why I changed the colours of the heart which was initially pink... and I didn't used the aïda from the kit but chose a white linen. 
I found it was sweeter, as the aïda was cream ! Definitely not 'wedding' =)
You can also see the napkins I folded for the occasion... butterflies of course as she wanted...
3 only over the 80 I made =)
Believe me, now I'm fast at folding napkins in a butterfly shape...


My friend was very happy with the pillow, and she wants to frame it , in memory of that special day 
What a good idea I find...

It's our national day this weekend... 
I hope sun will come back or at least that rain won't come... because I love fireworks and we can see so beautiful one on the 14th of July  =)
I want to warm welcome my new followers before leaving, and I'll be back soon with other stitches
Have a great weekend

      you made a rough copy before finding the perfect person :)
      But we can't deny this rough copy left you precious gifts ... (or am I mistaken...)
      I'm really happy you found Claudio and that you're going to celebrate 10 years together
      Life is too sad without love
      thank you for your kind words
      I think I would die in your country ! only 30° here and it's already too hot for me =)
      I hope I'll be soon in your letter box =)
      big hugs

      She was over the moon and now she has a kind of 'wedding blues', surely because of the heat, the stress, the preparation and all the emotions =D
      But it has been a wonderful day

  20. Oh Valérie, what a perfect gift for your friend's wedding day... And beyond! The design makes a lovely ring pillow and the colours are gorgeous. Well done on matching the colours of the wedding so perfectly :) The pillow is a wonderful momento of a very special day.
    What a fabulous theme - butterflies! I love the napkins :)
    So pleased to hear that the weather behaved even if it was a touch warm... Hope Bastille Day went well for you on Sunday - was thinking about you celebrating your National day :)
