Corsage, Boutonniere, and Bouquet Making Party

On Wednesday, September 10th a bunch of us gathered at Granny's house to make the corsages, boutonnieres, and bouquets for the wedding. We had a great time! Although, we may not know how to actually make corsages, boutonnieres, and bouquets, we did learn how to spell the word "boutonniere".

Below, Amanda works hard on one of the wedding bouquets!

Summer Lynn even joined us!

As you can see, flowers covered the entire table!

We also learned that Faye is quite the bow maker! She made beautiful bows to go on top of the favor baskets!
Granny had a wonderful time working on the bouquets. Can you tell by the smile on her face?

Theresa and Faye worked together to attach some of the bows to the favor baskets. The final product was so beautiful!

Theresa got a little carried away with the flowers, as you can see!

Gathering as a group to work on these things was not only very productive, but also very fun!

Thanks to all (Michelle, Randall, Theresa, Granny, Faye, Jane, Amanda, Bobby, and Summer Lynn) that offered your time and helped make the corsages, boutonnieres, and bouquets for the wedding. Your help was greatly appreciated and I couldn't have done it without you!!
