Kimono Ribbon
Flower Ring Cushion

Oh the wedding was such great fun! We had a real live ring bearer. Notable because we attached the real rings to the hand beaded silk dupioni cushion.

So many times I've been to weddings where the rings were the thin costume jewelry type that you buy at the local craft store. You can get a big bag of them for a few bucks.

But since our ceremony was indoors and the Matron of honor was his mom I figured the rings would make it up to the alter ok.

The kimono print ribbon flower is one I made and the gorgeous thin ribbon used to tie the rings to the cushion is a special and kind of pricey from Japan.

The tiny seed bead border is one of those things that isn't difficult to do, just very time consuming.

The back of the cushion has a small pocket that he was able to use to hold the cushion in place.

The colors were bright and cheery and kept in theme with the rest of the wedding. Our little guy did a great job and looked adorable in his snappy little tie he chose himself for the occasion.
