Bride and Groom (III)

 And here I am with another bride and groom post. As it happened with the former couple I showed you, this was a comission by a bride's close friend. She provided me with a (gorgeous) picture taken the day of the wedding, so it was easier to reproduce the style of the dress, hair and groom's vest and tie color.

The couple was kissing in the picture I was provided with, so I was asked to reproduce that in amigurumi. I cannot show you the  original picture, but I swear it looked like this:

I had to sew their arms to each other so they could stay in that position, so you can say that they are together until thread do them part... hahaha

One of the main features of the picture I was given is the enormous bun the bride rocked for her wedding day that really, really suit her. She was stunning.

So I tried to make a voluminous bun to the doll as well:

Hairdo

White bouquet

He wears a matching boutonniere  in white

Vest and tie in grey for the groom

So they did tie (or sew) the knot. You may now kiss the bride:

¡Muacks!

Bride and Groom (II)

Here's another couple of bride an groom that I haven't shown yet. Now they are with their new owners I can post some pics.

A friend of this couple contacted me asking for custom dolls to give to the newly weds in their wedding day. She provided me with some pics of her friends and I tried to customize them as much as possible.

Maybe she looks familiar to you? She was the model for the hair tutorial that you can find  here

This is the bride before the hair job:

And here she is after getting ready, with her pearl tiara and pink bouquet:

Here's a detailed photo of the dress waist and the bouquet

Here's the back of the dress

She looks pretty, doesn't she?

And here's the groom, with grey vest and tie:

I used this box to give them away...

¡¡Muacka!!

And they lived happily ever after...

Very special dolls

I want to show you the most special amigurumi that I had made until now.

My friends Jesus and Lidia got married last Oct 20th and they want my dolls (and me, of course) to be present that day. I was asked to be a bridesmaid and commissioned me part of the wedding decoration.  Their very non traditional idea was to have a Freddie Mercury amigurumi made by me in the table of the judge that was going to marry them. And after that, Freddie would be the centerpiece of their table in the reception dinner.

I made a bigger version of the Freddie amigurumi I had already done, but the smaller one had also a prominent place and was worn by the bride  as a brooch in the civil ceremony. I was very happy and excited for this commission, so thank you, Lidia!

This Freddie has been the biggest amigurumi I had made until now, even if you don't count the base he is on.

This is the image  I used for inspiration:

The microphone unfortunately was a little bigger in proportion, but there was no time to change it... sorry!

The base is covered in dark green felt.

Here's a detail of the golden buckle, his moustache and legs:

I'm so glad they loved the results and that it was a surprise for the family and friends,
Here's a picture of me in front of the bride and groom's table at the reception... please ignore my silly face, but you can find Freddie on the table with the flower decorations  ^^

And since it was not a traditional wedding, I wanted to make some original wedding dolls for the happy couple. A groom dressed Patrick Star and Lydia from Beetlejuice ... it's a long story, they know why ;)

I tried to make  Lydia with a wedding dress, but she was more recognizable with the spiderweb dress :

I also came back home with a wonderful handmade present by Lidia. I love it, thank you so much!

I had such a great time at their wedding... it was very unique and personal and so moving. Thank you so much for letting me participate so actively in it. I wish you all the happiness in the world, guys, I love you both!
