Here it is! The very first ring pillow I made for my friend Lucy Allen Gillis that jump started my ring pillow business. Lucy’s sister Rinne was so sweet to send me the pictures she took at the wedding. As I’d mentioned before there were no pictures or details emailed to me about the wedding - just a chat over the phone and this design came to mind.

It was a fall wedding in the country. The flower arrangements were in orange, red, wine, butternut and of course green. Chocolate was also another color used. The bridesmaids wore light coral and the groomsmen linen suits. I decided to go with a wreath because when I think of fall, I think of all those beautiful wreaths one can make with dried leaves and flowers. And then I thought how pretty it would be to have the rings nestled in the center of the wreath. I used about 30-something little leaves in brown and green and about 30 circles as berries. Then I added some beads and some gold metallic thread (a Llubav must) here and there for a little shimmer. I was so happy that Lucy asked me to do this for her - I think it turned out beautiful.
