As I was in the backyard today, pruning some errant branches and weeding the bamboo jungle, I turned to my left and saw my button rosebush in almost full bloom and it made me think of my wedding bouquet twenty two years ago. My hubby helped design the bridal bouquet with my mother’s best friend and his own best friend. They created the baby rose and baby breath bouquet together at my father’s restaurant where all the floral centerpieces were being put together , between the three of them, we had so much design talent for floral arrangements. It was spectacular. I went inside to get my trusty cell phone and went around to my five rosebushes to showcase how the cluster of blooms would be so lovely in any bridal bouquet.
I was a June bride! Though it was winter in South Africa. I had red roses and baby’s breath in my bouquet 🙂
You’re wedding photos inspired me to put my little photo of mine in the post. Originally I was just going to write about my bouquet but I remembered how much I liked seeing your photos that I thought why not put my photo in.
I’m glad you did!
Were all of your photos b&w?
We were “poor” so the photographer was a friend. The hubby and I decided on Black and White because it was more forgiving with lighting and thus less expensive. We also choose Sepia to give the wedding pictures an old fashioned look about them. I was happy that we did, we look like we’re from another time.
That’s what I thought 🙂 Until I read on, I thought it was your mother’s wedding. They are charming.
I was also a June bride 🙂
Lovely pics.
Thanks I can’t believe that we were so young looking.
