A beautiful wedding...

Friday the 29th was my friend Leah's wedding...
i was a bridesmaid...
the wedding was sooo beautiful!
It was a Harmony State park in Indiana...
You couldn't ask for better weather!
(I'm the shorty) ;)
We drove up to the aisle in vintage cars...
SWEET!

I didn't actually ride in this truck...
the bridesmaids & groomsmen drove in
a vintage Lincoln convertable!
(I didn't get a photo of it, bummer)
...
I embroidered these vintage style "Mr & Mrs" pillowcases
for Leah & Ryan's wedding gift.

Much luv!

Yup...you guessed it...

The top of the skirt is lavender faux patchwork...
the ruffle is the lavender floral stripe...
You may recognise
the multi colored
faux patchwork fabric...
I used it to expand that vintage
red plaid shirt from Etc...
