I worked up a sweat and pulled a muscle just watching Lily try to get the candles out of the mold. 😂 The centerpieces are stunning! You should be so proud of those Becky. ❤
Oh my goodness! Those centerpieces are absolutely gorgeous. This wedding is going to be beautiful! I’m looking forward to the journey. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤
What an exciting time. Your arrangement looks exactly what a wild flower arrangement should look like😊it’s beautiful Becky! Good luck with the candles.
Becky, you are talented beyond measure! The flower arrangements are gorgeous. Adding the green “moss” ribbon is the perfect finishing touch. The candle sticks are definitely labor intensive; they will be a beautiful addition to the tables. I sincerely hope you are able to get the recipe 😉 worked out. Thank you for taking us along on Lilly's wedding preparations.
Thank you so very much Kennia, I just want her to be happy at the end of the day. I think it will all turn out for the best even if all my hair brain schemes don't turn out.😉
I love making my on floral arrangements. I’ve always had a natural god given gift to that beautiful talent ♥️. The arrangements are absolutely gorgeous. ♥️♥️♥️ Wow! There’s a lot of work into making those candles sticks. Great video and it was so nice getting to watch you and your sweet daughter making the candles. God bless you and your sweet family….🍃🌷🍃
Hi Becky, the centerpieces are so pretty. I hope you find a happy solution to the candle making. The venue is gorgeous. Thank you for taking us along on this journey!!
I can see the vision, and I love it all! You are so talented and crafty, and I would never have thought to make my own apoxy candles. I absolutely LOVE the centerpieces, and it matches the inspiration pictures perfectly. I love the moss "ribbon" and it's super creative. Have you thought about using a wide, pretty satin ribbon at the top of the vase to cover the floral foam? Maybe tie a simple droopy bow and let the ribbon hang down? You may have already thought of that and decided against it. But it all looks so lovely. Thank you and Lilly so much for taking us on this journey. I'm excited to see what comes next! ❤🎉
I know everything will look fantastic! And being able to set up the reception area and the ceremony area before will help so much!!!! ❤Several weddings under my belt you’re doing a fabulous job❤
I love this journey. The centerpieces are gorgeous and I love green trim. I love those candles. They are so retro. If one of them turned out less cloudy, maybe you could use it next to the register. Can't wait for the next one.
I love it. In fact I think I am going to try to copy you😊. Its so California wildflower, natural looking. Becky I just really enjoy everything you do even if I don’t always have time to comment.
Hi Becky and Lily!I love the floral arrangements!!Very pretty and springy!!!I love the candlesticks and candles!Becky you did a great job on the arrangements!I think you are a wonderful mom!!!!I want to wish you all a "Happy Easter "!😁🐤🙏🐰❤
Hi Becky Love the centerpieces. Gorgeous 🏵️🌹🌸🌷🌻🌼. Venue is super nice. The candles are pretty too. Never saw that done before...very cool. Happy Easter to you and your family. Hugs, Pam❤️
I love that Lily chose wildflowers! It's going to be gorgeous! The centerpieces are beautiful Becky! You are just so talented! I really like the concept to the candles and it was a great first try for them, I hope they work out in the end! What a wonderful start to the wedding planning journey! Love this video, thank you! 💐🌷🪻❤🪻🌷💐
i am a retired floral designer.. i always start with the tallest flowers first after i have put my greens in. you may want to put a wide ribbon around the vase to hide the foam instead of the see through green thing you used.
The centerpieces are absolutely beautiful. I love that you can see the glass vase. You're a very talented person. Please don't change anything about them. They're gorgeous! I'm sure you will figure out the candles. The venue is very beautiful ❤️😊
Love, love , love the centerpieces😍 colors are gorgeous together. Amazon sells the rolls of moss and also rolls of colored weave similar to the green you used. Another option would be wide ribbon in the varying colors of the flowers, maybe a velvet with the fray edge. Also, I think the wedding vlog idea is great. Hoping to see the candlestick project work out. Such a unique idea and will complement the florals. 🕯🌺🌸🌹🌼🌻💐🌷
I was a little skeptical at first about using artificial floral but, wow it looks great! Awesome job.OMG I love it! ❣️ I think the candles came out alright. I really like them even if you can't light them.
Yes I tried to use the more realistic ones which means spending a little more on them but that's okay. I think they look nice in the end and I can maybe resell them and get some of my money back.
Looks beautiful! To help while your assembling them - If you have a lazy susan you can put the arrangement on top this way you can just turn it from all angles more easily then having to pick it up and twist everytime :)
I was supposed to be making supper while I watched your video, but I was so absolutely mesmerized watching you make those floral arrangements that I had to pause supper for a bit! You are so talented!
They look like exactly what Lily was dreaming of. I did all the flowers for both of my daughter’s weddings and I remember how easy it is to overthink and overbuild the arrangements. Maybe if you put a wick partway down the candle, you could pull it out? I liked the candles, was very impressed with how they turned out. I am interested to see how the better epoxy turns out 😊. I wonder if you used glitter in them, maybe it wouldn’t clump up? Love the wedding venue ❤
Looking forward to the wedding episodes. I love the wildflowers theme. I think the centerpieces look great! I’m also glad you tried the resin candle sticks. I’ve seen other TH-camrs sand resin and then polish it but I don’t know the details of what they used. I’ve been wanting to try using resin. Thanks for the tips! Hope the second round of candles turn out for y’all🤞.
I would be interested to know how they sanded and polished them. My problem now is that they don't fit in any candle holder that I have tried. I am at my wits end with them.
@@MyLittleVintageHomeI found the video. He did a wet sanding starting with 800 grit going up to 2000. He then applied a gloss varnish. Now this was on a a diorama. Sounds like a lot of work for candle sticks.
@@laurabeatty7857 it does, especially with the amount of them that I would have to make. I think I may have to scrap the candlestick idea unfortunately. 😕
Oh Becky those flower arrangements you did are just Beautiful. I Pray you can work out the candles as they are so Pretty. Where her wedding is going to be is just Gorgeous. I love it by water. Thank you for bringing us along while you planed everything. I know this is going to be and Amazing Wedding. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed weekend and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. May you have a Blessed Easter with your family. ❤❤❤
I love this type of video. And it is so exciting to be going on this journey with y'all. I love her ideas of all the colorful wildflowers and I think your arrangements match up that theme very well. I'm sorry about all the trouble with making the candles. It was a good idea. This brings back memories for me of a few years ago when I did my daughters wedding. It was Disney themed and I did all the centerpieces and hall decorations. It is really special to be able to do this for your daughter. I have to admit though, that we had to struggle through a few frustrations with each other and making things come out just right. But in the end, it was beautiful and we have memories to cherish. I hope it is that way for you and Lily! ❤
I hope so too. There is always that extra pressure with a wedding to make it perfect. It's not a day that you will be getting a do-over on you know. Hopefully we'll be able to pull it off and she will be happy.
I so enjoyed this video. Your centerpieces are beautiful and you should be proud of them. I hope you get your candles figured out. I know I stirred for awhile when I made my bookmarks and they came out clear. I look forward to the next video!
Thanks Teresa, I think I am going to sadly have to nix the beautiful candles they are just becoming one issue after the next. LOL! I will try to come up with a better option.
Absolutely beautiful!! You done an excellent job. Did you look in the spring, summer, or Easter section for the moss ribbon? I know they did have it at one time because I bought some.
❤ the video! Thanks for sharing. The centerpieces are very pretty and the ribbon covers the floral foam perfectly. My thoughts on the candles is, is it possible to put a small string or something in them in order to pull them out when they are dry? The strings can then be cut off when it hardens and you won’t see anything as that end gets stuck into a candle holder. I agree with less gold flakes in them for sure.
No the molds are upside down and if I put a wick in there it would just get combined in the shape of the candle. I'm afraid I am going to have to nix the candles from the plan all together. It's been one issue after the next. I'm sure I'll be able to find an equally beautiful option for the tables I am just still brainstorming.
@@MyLittleVintageHome oh bummer that you have to give up on the idea but I totally get it. I am sure you will figure out something else just as pretty and hopefully easier to make. Good luck with all your planning! I know from experience it IS fun but also a lot of hard work. I’m sure your daughter’s day will be amazing and beautiful.
Great colors and nice table arrangement but too tall for people to talk over at the table. Great venue for the wedding ! You are a true “worker bee” to tackle all these preparations !!
I hope that the tables will be large enough that they won't be in the way too much. I can't actually see for sure though because the venue is not always available. You have to make an appointment to go in there. The tables are pretty big so maybe (hopefully) they won't be as big on the table as they look in my craftroom.
I agree. They are gorgeous but are going to be very large, especially for the size of the tables. You won’t be able to see or talk to those across the table from you.
Thanks ladies, yes it's very possible that they may be in the way but I think (and I hope) that the tables are large enough that they won't seem as large as they appear on camera once I put them on the large round tables. They seat 8-10 people. I was also toying around with making half of them smaller and mixing them up. That will save on money too.
I don't think I would know where to begin. I think they are cloudy all the way through. I did try a different epoxy and it helped but now I can't get them to fit inside of a candle holder. LOL
Just beautiful! You really are talented and I love the colors. One suggestion and suggestion only - I would cover them in tissue paper while you store them before the wedding.
That is a very good suggestion, I do have to find a better storage solution for them because I won't be able to fit them all in my craft room. If I move them to the shed they will absolutely need to be covered up.
Why🤷🏻♀️ can’t the candles you made be lit 🤦🏻♀️??? I love it ! But I wondered why you didn’t put some kind of filler in the vase ? Like the loose greenery or shells or river rock or colored rock ect ?? But I love what you have done and I am surprised at your crafting expertise!!!!!! You should have been a professional florist !!!!
The candles can’t be burned because they are made of lucite. Even the real vintage ones are not typically burned. Surprisingly there wasn’t a place for a wick to go in the original mold. I’m not entirety sure if we can even have open flames at the venue. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh my goodness, epoxy can be so toxic. Check it out. Should be used in well ventilation and wearing a respirator and gloves.. Many TH-cam diy people have caused themselves lung problems. It just frightens me. So, I changed my mind on ever trying to make anything with epoxy. I pray yours is safe. The centerpieces are lovely but is there a reason you chose to go higher. I know many say you should be able to see across to other people at your table, but it's your and Lily's decision. The flowers are beautiful, will they still be available as time passes on?
We're hoping that the tables are big enough to handle the large arrangement. I just don't have a way to compare them since the venue is by appointment only. Crossing our fingers that they look nice.
@@MyLittleVintageHomeI just read they should be 12" or lower or 24" tall so people at the table can see each other to converse. My son worked many years at a wedding party center and they always had low arrangements or arrangements in very tall clear round tube vases, they were probably 24" tall too. I would insert a picture but it won't let me. Your arrangements are beautiful, you may just want to think about the container holding them. Just my opinion.
I worked up a sweat and pulled a muscle just watching Lily try to get the candles out of the mold. 😂 The centerpieces are stunning! You should be so proud of those Becky. ❤
LOL! I did too Jennifer. There is no way I'm doing all that for a candle stick, 😂
Good job Becky!
Love the center pieces. I like the way the ribbons hide the foam while still being wispy like the arrangement.
Thank you, I hope they don't show the foam too much. I really like the natural look of it better than regular ribbon.
Love the wildflower look. You have a knack for arranging fake flowers and not everyone can.
Thank you Kathleen, I always thought I would enjoy being a florist. I think it is so fun making these arrangements.
Love this content!
Made with mama’s love! Priceless!
I think they are beautiful!
Your mother love + your talent = a beautiful wedding for Lily.
Oh my goodness! Those centerpieces are absolutely gorgeous. This wedding is going to be beautiful! I’m looking forward to the journey. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤
They look so pretty 😊 even tho Lily got quite a workout so they could pop out lol 😆 , everything is going to be so beautiful I love wildflowers! ❤️
She was determined that's for sure. I just don't have that kind of energy, LOL
How fun! I loved the candles! Everything was beautiful!
What an exciting time. Your arrangement looks exactly what a wild flower arrangement should look like😊it’s beautiful Becky! Good luck with the candles.
Thank you so much Susan! I am happy with them so far now to figure out this candle situation. lol!
Beautiful! Her choice of colors and flowers is beautiful!

@@MyLittleVintageHome of course you do.
