I wanted to include their wedding party colors, as well as a little piece of lace from the day. The lace was significant for both of them. One daughter was married on her grandparent’s anniversary, and I CUT my mom’s wedding dress up to make straps and a belt for her dress. (See my face of horror HERE). My other daughter had me CUT my dress for her headpiece. HERE is that beautiful chunk of my dress!
So both memento pennies have a little lace attached. It just seemed like it had to be there.
Now the search is on for 2019 pennies for the upcoming babies, graduations and weddings. I really do love making little mementos for such special occasions.
Fascinating I love this whole penny thing. I like how you used the dress for the two girls it may not be what you originally wanted but it works🕊❤🕊
ReplyDeleteSo glad your daughters appreciate them - we do sometimes wonder, don't we?
ReplyDeleteAnd they are so beautiful! You have taken this little idea and made it into ART!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful and fabulous!!! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I can't believe the weddings were that 'long ago'! I very much remember all the wonderful ideas for the dresses and cutting up wedding gowns and creating that gorgeous veil from the lace from your own gown. (So glad the photographer thought to drape it!) I don't have children, but I don't think I could handle all the emotions.
ReplyDeleteThese keepsake penny ice drops have even more meaning coming 'after' the weddings and will be cherished forever.
Excellent idea and presentation! I'm sure your daughters are very impressed with your many talents!
