Peanuts Wedding Decorations

Ugh! I've been kissed by a dog! I have dog germs! Get hot water! Get some disinfectant! Get some Iodine!Lucy Van Pelt

My friend (the baking barrister) was the maid of honour for her sister's wedding. She asked me to assist her with a couple of sewing-related projects to celebrate her sister's nuptials.

I have a little love affair with  Hong Kong.  My husband and I had a chance to visit Hong Kong about 10 years ago.  I remember every moment of that holiday, including a visit to McDonald's because I really needed a hash brown instead of dim sum.   In Hong Kong, wedding car decorations incorporating plush characters are very popular.  The happy couple chose Lucy and Snoopy (Joe Cool).  These plush characters were from McDonalds in Hong Kong and are considered collectibles.  You can purchase these sorts of toys in the original packaging on ebay.  This particular series was released in 2005, to celebrate 55 years of Peanuts.

I created a wedding dress and veil for Lucy and Joe Cool wore a purple cummer bund and a bow tie.  Lucy's veil is attached with pearl floral pins. I used the same pins to create "pearl studs" and I beaded a little pearl necklace (it's June after all).The happy couple sits on a Styrofoam wreath form covered in purple tulle and under Woodstock's careful watch.

The ring bearer pillow is created using Grosgrain's tutorial.  The "brooch" is actually an old piece of kitchen cabinet knob hardware. I sawed off the post (yes a little elbow work was involved ) and I attached a brooch with E6000 glue.  I finally found a somewhere in Toronto which sells this glue !

I love weddings!  Have a happy weekend,
