Another happy bride at her final fitting today. Her dress needed hemming, new bra cups added, sleeves widened, and bustling. For the sleeves I added a full inch of netting from the hemline at the underarm. In the final picture you can see the beautiful 3 point bustle, and the sleeves fitting so much better.

WEDDING FAVOR ALERT: What do you give for a wedding favor? People have too much “stuff” already, and don’t really want more. Solution: I made over 90 maple leaf glazed sugar cookies for my daughter’s wedding favors. Cookies are made with real butter and real maple syrup in the glaze. Each cookie was individually wrapped in cellophane with round brown paper label and custom lettering. Wedding guests commented throughout the evening how delicious the cookies were. I can make them for your wedding too, please message me at Bonnie Lynn Originals - Sewing & Alterations

Shout out to Gramma Bear's Cakery for her fabulous buttercream cupcakes that we also served for dessert.

P.S. Not one cookie or cupcake was left on the table at the end of the evening. I would call that a win!!

Part 4: “Something borrowed, Something blue”
Shelley’s wedding dress accessories.

My mom (bottom right) loved jewelry, and left us girls a ton of costume jewelry when she passed away almost 4 years ago. All us girls went through it and each of us took a few pieces that we liked and would remember her by. There was a lot left over. I was looking through it 2-3 weeks ago, looking for something for me to wear to the wedding that would match my dress. Instead, I found these beautiful tear drop Diamondelle sterling silver earrings and sterling silver bracelet with little blue stones. They seemed just perfect for Shelley to wear on her special day for the tradition of “something borrowed, something blue”, and she agreed. My mom couldn’t be with us, but a small part of her was there and remembered in her jewelry. You want to know the really strange part? All of us girls, 6 of us, went through her jewelry at different times, and none of us found these pieces, until I looked a few weeks ago. It was meant to be. Thank you Mom. ❤️

Part 3: “Something New” Shelley’s wedding dress. Finishing the hemline and inner bodice lining.

After establishing the exact length of hemline, the wavy lace trim was sewn onto the bottom of the lace overlay. Shelley asked me to leave a tiny train at the back only 3-4” long, which I did. The 2 inner slips were hemmed a bit shorter under the overlay. After all darts, skirt gathers, zipper was fitted, and a couple minor bodice tucks, the inner bodice lining was sewn by hand to the skirt lining at the waistline. This now completes making Shelley’s wedding dress. Stay tuned for her “something borrowed, something blue” coming very soon. And more wedding pictures!!
