Here comes the bride!

I got an idea in my head to do a wedding scene and now it won't go away! I really enjoyed doing the honeymoon suite in the B & B and I love my bridal shop so it seemed inevitable I would end up creating a whole wedding! Got an idea for the church which I hope (fingers crossed!) will work out. If it goes to plan I will lose the garden next to Porthole as its not very exciting anyway. I will make a pretty church yard with and arbour covered in roses and a lovely Quayside wedding.

I had a man doll I quite liked so he will be the groom and after far too long searching for the internet for a bride doll and not really finding any I liked I decided to make my own! The doll is Amelia who has lived in Quayside for a while and thought she was my prettiest lady so she would make the best bride! The dress was stolen from the bridal shop (made by my friend Sylvia!) It originally had a long matching train which was too big for displaying in the shop so I had taken that off and put it in my fabric box. Lucky I kept it as I needed to add sleeves to the dress as the Amelia has padded arms. I made a net skirt to go underneath to fill it out a bit. I used the veil and headdress I had made for the honeymoon suite to loosely pin back her hair and added a bouquet to complete her look. I think she looks lovely and very much the blushing bride! All she needs now is a bridesmaid!! and the vicar? well hes on his way!!!!
