Spring Wedding...

We had some good news a few months back, my son and his long time partner have decided to get married at Easter this year.  While discussing the bridesmaids (my small granddaughter and her cousin) we talked about flowers and somehow I volunteered to crochet their little posies so that they would have a permanent reminder of the day rather than fresh flowers that would wilt and die. Also, they needed to echo the embroidered flowers on the bride's dress.

 Well, it seemed a good idea at the time!  I have really enjoyed  doing it, but I chose fine crochet cotton in order to keep the flower sizes as close to real as possible which meant a tiny crochet hook...and very, very painful hands at the end of it!

These are the posies so far - they need the wires trimmed and tidied up,  attaching to some 'wands', some hand crocheted lace around the base of the flowers and some ribbon. I think they will end up being very pretty and hopefully a sweet memento of the day.

Mr.B  suggested I make them commercially...that's not happening!  I don't think my poor hands would stand it...
