TO US!!
This is us 29 years ago. I made my wedding dress(except for the zipper, mom did that part by hand) and my grandmother made the headpiece. The frame of the headpiece was my mothers at her wedding. My colors were blue and pink. There is in pink in my bouquet and in the boutonniere my hubby is wearing.
My mother made this for us a few years ago. I love all the pink and blue in the design. Totally goes with the theme we had at our wedding.
This is our caketop. It is looking kind of aged now. I handle it gently. I think it is missing one bell and one dove, but I'm not sure. Need to check our wedding album to check the picture of our cake.
My sister-in-law asked me for scraps of the fabric used for my wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses. I could not imagine why and did not find out until our first Christmas why she wanted my fabric scraps. These ornaments are the result.
The bridesmaids dresses were made of the blue/pink print with the blue lining. All the white fabric, lace and trim was from my dress. A very nice way to remember our wedding. I hang them up every year. Well, most years. We did not have a Christmas tree the last two years.
Our anniversary is actually on Monday the 22nd. But I thought I would do this as a Pink Saturday post since pink was one of my wedding colors. I can't believe it has been 29 years. We are hoping to do something special next year for our 30th.

Happy Anniversary (on Monday)!
Happy 29th Anniversary. It is so nice you have all these things from your wedding day. My daughter wore my headpiece at her wedding.
My goodness Nommy! I forgot that we were on your 29th anniversary already. Wow! I have to say that I love this post, especially since it's about your anniversary! Hurray!
Happy Anniversary!!! You were a beautiful bride, and your dress was lovely. Happy Pink Saturday.

I LOVED your wedding photo and the fact that you made your dress! We were married 40 years in June (I still can't believe it has been that long!). I bought the pattern and fabric for my wedding dress and cut out the pieces, then my mom stitched it up. I made the veil. Not many brides can say that, now can they?
