Backyard Wedding

We had a wedding in our backyard last Saturday.  Our daughter was married on a beautiful day with the temperature hovering around 95 degrees. Close family shared the occasion with much joy and laughter.  The garden was lovely and the potted flowers were just what we needed to brighten the courtyard.  We chased shade as the sun moved overhead and  many enjoyed the air conditioning inside during the refreshments.  Her colors were hot pink and bright orange, great colors for early summer. The bride carried Gerber Daisies in those colors as did her daughters.  The youngest carried a small bouquet and the older daughter wore flowers in her hair. The bride's son and the groom and his two sons wore daisy boutonnieres in orange or pink.

As the mother of the bride, I chose to wear the Korean Patchwork wrap that I created last year.  It was the perfect thing for the weather and the smart casual dress code.  I have been waiting for a chance to enjoy the wrap and I enjoyed the lightness of the fabric and chose a graduated pink top to wear under it.  I have several other wearable art pieces in mind.  I'll let you know more later.
