My DIY Bridesmaids gifts

While I lived in DC I was able to take free jewelry classes through the place where I worked. I by no means have great talent, but I learned enough to feel confident making my bridesmaids jewelry for the wedding. I'm using freshwater pearls and some Swarovski crystal beads that I found at a wholesale bead store.

I love it. My bridesmaids are wearing green, but I was considering yellow for a time.
Can totally relate to the bride being nervous about throwing a party in the middle of no where. That is our issue too.


The farm is 45 minutes from Charlottesville and 25 minutes from Warrenton. The plan is to bus people from hotels in both places to Padua for a glorious 6 -8 hours of fun, in a field, in a tent! Yay!
