for the love of lindsay: bunting

shades of green

Apart from preparing for my upcoming role of homeowner, I've also been looking forward for  another important role: bridesmaid.
My dear friend Lindsay and her wonderful fiance, Gianmi, are tying the knot on June 10th and I just couldn't be happier to experience the day as a bridesmaid, pretty in pink and ready to take in the beautiful bride.
Lindsay's bridal shower is the day before the wedding and it will be nothing short of elegant. Gold-rimmed china, seasonal flowers and locally-sourced food will dot a Chapel Hill area farm where the bride will be showered with gifts, love and a little bit of champagne. I am the caterer and while I will share the recipes of the day later on, I just had to share a little bit of crafting that will add a touch of whimsy to the elegant affair.
To me, bunting screams, "let's celebrate!" So with some paper that was reminiscent of vintage wall paper, linen ribbon and a handy pair of scissors I made NINETY feet of bunting to drape under the tent. It may not be a ticker tape parade, but I think it will make the bride-to-be smile as we celebrate her and her new life as a wife!
