Fabric Flower Bridal Sashes by Make Believe’n

Wow- how quickly time flies! Already one month has past since our loveliest wedding day in Cabo. Although it doesn’t feel much “different” than before (since we did live together for the past two years), we definitely have enjoyed our time as “newlyweds.”

We were definitely worker bees before we left since I not only have a full time job but we own our own business. It’s soooo easy to get into “work mode” and work very, very late into the night…especially when your business is a 24/7 operation. It’s tough to shut off.  But after returning from our wedding (and getting a little reminder of what’s important in life at a recent church service)…we decided we CAN control how often we work. Sure, our business can and will keep us busy and there will be days that will require “overtime” in the evening hours, BUT we know there are many things that can wait! So with my new relaxed attitude I have officially become a bum. Haha- just kidding. I just feel that way since I’m so used to going, going, going!

And well I guess I was still on “go” mode when we drove up to Atlanta this past weekend for a fun night out with fellow TWIPs members. I had a great time getting to know some fantastic ladies in the group while doing a little business networking over a fabulous dinner at JCT Kitchen. (P.S. Naomi, I’m still thinking of their Chicken and Dumplings. OMG- so yummy!)

One lovely lady who came out last Saturday night and whom I’ve actually had the pleasure of having dinner with back in April, was Krissy from Make Believe’N. She is one talented chica and I just love her attitude on life! I only got a “sneak peek” through some pictures of her wedding bridal sash designs back in April so I was super excited when she paired one of her latest with a summer dress and wore it to dinner! And wow, this chick is busting out with some serious fabric flower power now!

If you haven’t seen her collection- you’re in for a treat…

And her craftiness doesn’t stop with sashes. She can pretty much custom make any fabric flower accessory (in your wedding colors!) that you can imagine from bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, belts, hair fascinators, and centerpieces.

If you want to create a statement on your big day with something fun, unique, and personalized, Krissy’s handcrafted fabric wedding flower designs are a perfect place to start! Something I love about alternative wedding bouquets, bouts, corsages and such is that these are keepsakes that will last forever. My sister had my mom make a brooch bouquet and it’s something she displays on her mantel. I love that!

We have some great things up our sleeves with TWIPs and I can’t wait to work with Krissy more in the future. Remember to visit her Esty shop for more flowery goodness!

So and tell me, was there something alternative or big and bold you incorporated into your day? I want to know!
