Dove Nests

In honour of Valentine’s Day, let me share with you these tiny love birds sitting in braided nests. The groom-to-be recently discovered he is half Ukrainian, and the bride thoughtfully wished to reflect his Ukrainian heritage in their wedding favours.

These small 2″-3″ favours were made well in advance of a summer wedding. While this order was placed unusually early for “normal times”, this is perhaps a new normal for the time being: most people contacting me nowadays are planning summer and fall weddings. This past wedding season – with its multiple and ever-changing restrictions – made it really difficult to plan a wedding, and I really hope that soon, this uncertainty becomes a thing of the past.
