<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
some of my most vivid childhood memories centre around a mulberry tree in our garden and my mother’s button box<\/span>.<\/strong><\/em> both bold with colour and possibility… perhaps the source of every dream i ever spun together.<\/p>\n and so what better way to spend my re-wedding day<\/a> than re-living these memories and incorporating them into my decor and favours.<\/p>\n i can still feel the mulberry juice spilling through my fingers<\/span><\/strong> as i climbed higher and higher up into the branches. i would try to scrub it from my skin in the bath after a day of play but it would cling stubbornly, like love does to those that allow it to work it’s magic.<\/p>\n my wedding dress will be gentle and flowing, patterned and textured: feminine in every way.<\/p>\n my bridesmaids will receive personalised bags made from the softest of leather with a button trimming as their thank you gifts.<\/p>\n for favours and thank you’s, i plan to buy each lady a vintage pendant and possibly a bottle of licquer for each man.<\/p>\n the decor will centre around the endless love screen print and varieties of buttons in all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n instead of confetti, i would like people to pin buttons to each other as reminders of love and how it needs to be stitched into our lives.<\/p>\n i will invite emiliano to play piano for the drinks and reception and also in the chapel. i do so love a good piece of piano music. if it doesn’t rain, then i will have the piano in the middle of the lawn as the centre piece for all the photography.<\/p>\n this modern love will be on the other side of the lens, capturing as only they do: interweaving light and moments.<\/p>\n and i can hear you asking: “where will all of this be happening?” in the magnificent ballyvalone house of course.<\/p>\n call it intimate. call it relaxed. call it close. it will be all this and more.<\/p>\n you are invited.<\/p>\n love, feeling inspired? get in touch with the suppliers: <\/strong><\/p>\n wedding dress:<\/strong> be something new<\/p>\n pianist:<\/strong> emiliano<\/p>\n venue:<\/strong> ballyvolane house<\/a><\/p>\n endless love print:<\/strong> bold and noble<\/p>\n vintage pendent:<\/strong> barberry and lace<\/p>\n custom buttons:<\/strong> button empire<\/p>\n leather and lace clutch:<\/strong> maelinnaea<\/p>\n victorian necklace: <\/strong>timeless trinkets<\/p>\n thimble pendant:<\/strong> Mrs Gibson<\/p>\n button necklace:<\/strong> MawaddaA<\/p>\n photographers:<\/strong> this modern love<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2012\/05\/mulberries-and-buttons1-600x450.jpg\")
