Zoey's First Wedding!

Mindy and "The Auntie" looked amazing! 
   
Zoey made her big debut as Mark and Mindy's flower girl this weekend.
Her brother was supposed to walk with her but as soon as they got to the first row of chairs she paused and he took off to the front. He later told me he was on a mission and she was on her own if she couldn't keep up. She also forgot to throw any petals until she had already reached the front!
In any case her and Akio both did a great job, and the flower girl dress I made her came out perfectly!
 

One of the best decorations of the evening was this 1001 paper crane frame. Mindy had a vision of what to do with the traditional wedding paper cranes, and with lots of hard work from her very dedicated mother and Uncle Tom it turned out better than imagined!  Auntie folded all of the cranes and Tom built the frame and carved their initials by hand. Then each crane was carefully painted and glued in place. This truly is a piece of art that took countless hours by several people and is definitely a great reminder of the love Mark and Mindy share!
Zoey's dress: Satin off white bodice with armhole princess seams (and a little spaghetti sauce)
and a tulle skirt with petals incased in the top layer.
