Memories to Heirlooms |
Abby and Maddie are extraordinary women in my life. Abby is my niece, and Maddie might as well be. I held them both as babies and have loved them ever since. Both love nature, have a zest for adventure, are talented writers, and have found their soulmates. So it did not surprise me that the ornaments I made for Abby's wedding inspired Maddie to ask me to make some for hers. I teamed up with both women to realize their nature-inspired visions. Maddie and I decided to add beads to represent their birth order for the children's ornaments. This way, they can always tell which ornament is theirs. Sup-"herb" Ornaments!Maddie and Jon live in Brooklyn, where they have created a little bit of Eden with their rooftop garden. Their garden has an herb section put to good use in many culinary creations they make for themselves and lucky guests. So it made sense that they wanted the favors for their wedding to reflect their love of gardening and cooking. Maddie asked me to use six herbs they grew; basil, oregano, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Sage DesignSamples from stoneware and porcelain were a great aide in communication so I could bring Maddie's vision to reality.
The Basil ElementsFinished in ThymeI delivered them to Maddie in her parents' home two days before the wedding. So I met Jon, and Maddie seemed to enjoy showing me her dress and accessories as well as sharing all the wedding details. Because of covid, they limited the wedding to close family, so it was touching to play a part in such a special day.
Best wishes Maddie and Jon, I am so happy you have found each other. Ornaments are a great wedding favor, especially when they hold so much meaning and meet the couple's vision. If you would like me to help you realize a unique wedding favor, contact me so we can talk about it.
