Our middle daughters (we have 4) are twins and they were married in a double wedding ceremony in 2002. I found handsome pillows with beautiful tassels at a local store. I stitched vintage hankies onto each pillow as well as a ribbon across the back for the young Ring Bearers to use while carrying each set of wedding rings. Then I added a beautiful lace piece that came from the blouse my mother (their Grandmother) worn for her marriage in 1945 ~ 57 years earlier!
I love this post! Those pillows are amazing…..and I loved it back at our other linky party! Thank you soooooo much for the trip down memory lane 🙂

Hi, Thanks for playing along with my blog puzzle! A clue for you is that I have been a most CLUELESS bride! There is something missing in the photo as a result of this cluelessness. Also, where there is a prince there is a ….. which should lead you to what you are looking for. I have written several times about it. Have a great week! Elizabeth
Michele ~ I plan an anniversary post in June of the girls double wedding. It was a very special day that my husband and I will always cherish.
That is the sweetest story of your daughters marrying in a double ceremony, and their exquisite pillows with such a history! Thanks for sharing! Might you have pictures of the wedding day to share, too? =)
Oh, those are gorgeous!
gorgeous pillows & a great story to go with them, hope you have it written down for future generations. Just to reassure you that I am not working as far ahead as you think, Mothers Day is this coming Sunday in UK and I had to post my Mum's card today!
How very special, what a neat idea to use some of your mom’s dress. I guess I’ll miss out on all those kinds of things having two sons.
What beautiful pillows!! And that you were able to include part of your mother’s wedding dress is so precious!! Great work!
These pillows are so beautiful and the sentiment and history behind them make them even more than that!
What BEAUTIFUL pillows….
such heirlooms!!! 😉
