Hands down...this is my FAVORITE of the weddings fun little details. The ring bearers pillows. Mika and David will have 3 sweet little ring bearers~ Sam will carry Mika's ring. Aden will carry David's ring. And Kyler will help guide and direct them down the antique brick lined aisle.
You may recognize the creator of these darling ring bearer pillows~ have you seen that flower in a magazine recently? Look down at the end of this post to see the magazine page...Leslie Janson is the smart talented one that is featured in Romantic Country, page 18. OUR FAVORITE FINDS! That's how I found Leslie! I was looking through the magazine...turned the page and saw those darling vintage flower pins embellished on the back of that slipcovered chair! I thought...I've got to see more! I was so excited to see that Leslie sells on etsy...You'll just die when you see!!

I knew as soon a I saw Leslie's beautiful creations that I wanted her to design the ring bearer pillows for Mika and David's wedding~ Leslie combined two sweet elements...a vintage floral handkerchief for the pillows. Then she topped them off with two vintage hankies for the flower. A white hankie and a green crocheted edged hankie. They both have green beaded centers. The green is the exact match to Mika's "clover"...
Little white ribbons for tying on the "rings"...
L-O-V-E those green beaded centers!
And...I didn't think it could get any better, but it did!! Leslie made me this sweet heart out of the hankie borders...it has a little white ribbon attached for hanging. What a wonderful remembrance of the wedding! Thank you Leslie...it was indeed a true pleasure working with you!!

Tina,
Absolutely adorable and what a cute idea! I not only love the vintage handkerchiefs Leslie used, but also the wonderful fabric.
I am growing more and more excited for you, and your family!
There is no doubt in my mind that Mika's wedding is going to be beautiful, and made all the more special by the added touchs and details that you do so well!

They are absoulutely the most unique ring pillows I have ever seen. Usually they are all pretty much the same but yours are the best yet. Love them! Leslie really has some wonderful things. I checked them allout and perhaps drooled just a little bit.....
Have a great Wednesday, Jean in Virginia

Mika will have the most unique and beautiful wedding in Texas. It wouldn't surpize me to find you in a "layout" in the next issue of Romantic Country Magazine. The pillows are so unique and precious. Off to look at her site.

TOO cute...Tina...those are darling pillows and not like any others out there...that's what I love and makes them all the more special!! I'm getting so-oooo excited for you guys(rubbing my hands together)...it's all coming together very nicely. I am so glad you and I were able to share some of this over the phone...it makes me feel like I am a part...and know whats happening!! By the way...the fans turned out darling...see...I told you that they would...and that you have such talent that you couldn't mess it up..it's going to be beautiful and you and Mika are doing great!! How are the plans for the outside tables going???...are you still thinking of what we discussed earlier?? Just curious...I love what your final decision was on the inside tables...were you able to order some roses from Sam's/Costco? Are you still planning on using rose petals along the aisle and piled around the cloches??? Sorry, for the 20 questions... You know how I loves me a good wedding...and how much I love to hear about them!
Blessings...

This wedding is going to be a spectacular event. I certainly hope one of the magazines will "cover" it.

Tina, I can only imagiine how much fun you are having planning this beautiful wedding. I can tell you are really a "detail" person. I have been wondering when is the big day?
I just wanted to tell you that I made the strawberry cupcakes from your May 26 post today. They were delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will be making them often. I think they would be great served at a spring time tea party.
Can't wait to see photos of more wedding goodies. :-) Debbi
