Bunting is a great British tradition and is a perfect decoration for any
celebration.
The lovely Hannah, daughter of our family friends, is a very
enterprising young lady. Hannah works full time, is
studying for an Open University degree, helps out with her Mum and Dad’s successful B&B and
Wear Alpaca businesses,
and she also runs her own business called Buttons and Bunting!
I had seen some bunting Hannah made for a wedding
celebration last year, so had thought it might be nice to have some made for
our home in the lead up for Lucy and Mark’s wedding.
Hannah came to visit and we looked through her purple and wedding-y materials. We measured up the fireplace, doorway between lounge and dining room and the conservatory for the bunting
streams.
Lucy has already declared that she intends to use the
conservatory (which has no heating) on 2nd November to do all her
beauty preparations in . Sensible girl as ever, Lucy knows that she will be
getting hot with the hair dryer, curling tongs, straightening irons and then
make up - so she will stay as cool as she can, for as long as she can in the conservatory. So
we will hang the main bunting in there.
The dining room and lounge will be filled with MOTB and the 5
bridesmaids, flower girl, more hairdressers, make up and photographers. Sounds like
organised chaos? Don’t worry, there is an extra page on the spreadsheet just
for “on the day” logistics!
I plan to take the bunting to the Hen do, and decorate the
cottage. Then when we get home, as it will only be a few weeks till the
wedding, I will put it up in the house so we can enjoy it before the big day. I
may even leave it up till after Christmas...Christmas (!) that reminds me, I need to be making a start on that Festive spreadsheet too.
