Love love love this idea ❤️💟💝

The “Sisterhood of the Travelling Garter” that will be passed around when each of you get married.

After each wedding, stitch a bow to the garter in the colour of the bridesmaids’ dresses. A special & true sign of friendship🫶🏼

Forever after it would serve as ‘something borrowed’ 😊

Friday was so much fun, from the minute I arrived to the end of the night these guys were beaming with adoration for each other & the banter was great 🥰

I’m sure it wasn’t just myself that had a lump in my throat & a tear in my eye as Danielle’s bridesmaid cousins read the beautiful poem they had written.

If was a pleasure to get to know you & share your special day, wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter & happiness 💜

Hope you are having a smashing time on honeymoon 🇬🇷

Pinch punch, 1st of the month

🌸 Friday Fun Fact 🪻

In the earliest Roman calendar March used to be the 1st month of the year 🧐

It was around 700 BCE Roman King Numa Pompilius then introduced January & February pushing March into 3rd position.

🍀 March is considered the luckiest month of the year - it’s not long now K&L 💞
