Putting the R in Mrs.

I found the crafty girl who made the cake toppers for the wedding I blogged about a couple of weeks ago. Unsurprisingly, it sounds like she’s pretty booked up, which gets me wondering if I could DIY something vaguely similar…

Meet the second runner-up, Sadie by Melissa Sweet. I’m pretty sad to eliminate this one… Who knew I was such a sucker for delicately beaded lace with a feathery train. And the drop-waist sash would’ve been the perfect place to bring in some color. I don’t sound like I’m ready to let go, do I? Farewell, dear Sadie. And then there were two…
