The photo was taken in my studio, here at home. I spent most of the weekend, at the lake, working on chair bows. These are for my daughter's wedding in November. I will be making eight of these bows for the head table chairs. The chairs will be standard reception hall variety.*****************************************************
The attendants' dress color is eggplant. The bouquets are a combination of Fall colors with a bit of eggplant and just a touch of lime. Calla Lilies, Roses and Fall berries will be some of the components of the attendant bouquets. The Maid of Honor is a college friend of my daughter. The Bridesmaid is my oldest Granddaughter.The Flower Girls will carry floral balls made of tiny Yoko Ono (green) mums. Their dresses are white with eggplant sashes. The Ring Bearer's pillow will be made of the same mum. He will be wearing a black tux, with a tiny Calla Lily boutonniere. This part of the ceremony will bring smiles, indeed! I love it when children participate in weddings! The tiniest attendants will be my two younger Grandchildren and the Groom's Goddaughter
The Bride's bouquet will be made of the above mentioned flowers, plus a beautiful green Hydrangea bloom, in memory of her Paternal Grandmother. All the bouquets and other flowers will be fresh, except for the chair bows and the arch. These will be made of silk flowers and vines. I'll be making the arrangement for the apex of the arch, as well as the chair bows.
A simple tulle bow will be tied around a chair. The silk bouquet will be attached to the tulle bow, using a pin attached to the back.
My daughter has engaged a "day of wedding" coordinator. She and her partner will attach the bows to the chairs and take care of other last minute decorating and wedding details.
The wedding ceremony and reception are at the same venue, a rustic lodge with a beautiful view through windows across the back of the building.
The ceremony music will be provided by an acoustic guitarist.

That is so pretty.My daughter is getting married in Nov. also. They are waiting to the last min. to get things and then I will go nuts working. She doesn't like roses so we are having a hard time finding a flowers. She is wanting a vintage style wedding. Can't wait to see more.
I love dressing up chairs. Your bouquets are beautiful.
The chair bows are lovely and I like the autumnal colour scheme too. Your daughter is fortunate to have such an artistic and skilful mama.
These are just gorgeous, love the colour cobination, they are both romantic and dreamatic at the same time.
Oh Pat...the chairs are beautiful! I love reading about the wedding plans, the colors and all the details. Weddings are so special!
Those are so luxurious and feminine! I also had a November wedding (back in 1980) and fall colors are just so beautiful, aren't they? I wish we'd thought to dress up the chairs, LOL!
Pat - very classy and elegant. Sounds like it will all be beautiful! Photos Please! Our oldest was married 7/7/07. She is a huge procrastinator and after a year and a half of offering my help - I made up ALL 80 favors myself - the night before the wedding!!!! Have fun! Love, Esther
My daughter is getting married in March 2008. I eagerly read all you have done, it is beautiful!
Pat, the wedding plans sound beautiful, and with the Fall colors will be gorgeous! Your bouquets are so pretty, can't wait to see more photos.
Pat, the bows are stunning! What a gorgeous colour combination for a November wedding & how special for your daughter to know that her Mum made them.
Pat- Beautiful! I know you're having fun with it all just as we did. These are such special times, your daughter will have fond memories of your lovely creative hand in it all! We moved the the bows I created for the ceremony at my daughter's wedding inside to the chairs and other places for the reception, and the use of silk really allows for more function! Can't wait to hear and see more!
Very pretty!

Thanks for stopping by my blog, by the way. Hope you find that Brighton store at the Branson Landing...take pictures if you do. I love seeing their stuff. And don't forget to smell their fragrances...Love and Dream are my favorites!
Thanks for popping by! You have a beautiful site here -- and those wedding decorations are incredible. What a beautiful wedding that will be!
I'd promised myself I wouldn't add any more sites to my favourites list, but I'm having trouble resisting, especially when it comes to you southern gals! There's just something so refreshing about your simple, down-home, 'come set a spell on the porch swing' approach to life -- I love it!

Your pew bow looks really pretty. I enjoyed reading the flower plans, as I'll be doing twenty table arrangements for my friend's wedding in October. I'm using dark blue dried hydrangeas with touches of corals. This will be a second wedding for her.
