My Garter...

One of my latest sewing projects was to make my own garter for the wedding day, I knew what I wanted, but was on a budget so this seemed like the best option...

I started by sewing some lace onto a strip of elastic just the right size for my thigh... 

I wanted this to be my something blue, so added a ribbon rose, made my simply gathering up a simple running stitch along one edge of the ribbon...

I finished off the centre of the rose with some small pearlescent beads, but it looked a little lost...

So I made another ribbon rose by folding each strip of ribbon over and stitching it into place, this is the first time I've ever done this and I kinda made it up as I went along, not too bad though...

Again I finished this with a few pearlescent beads, randomly distributed this time though, and I finished it off with a little lace bow, I did love the final result...

I'M MARRIED! Our wedding in a nutshell...

I'm going to leave it to Amy to blog our wedding, but here are a couple of pictures that pretty much sum up what was an amazing day...
