My Do-It-Yourself Flowergirl's Tin Buckets

I just finished my first DIY project for our wedding...

Tadaaaa!!!! Presenting my very own creation~~ our flower girls' pail buckets!!  . I plan on putting some flowers and  teddy bears on these pails so the children could enjoy the toy afterwards.

Instead of the usual woven basket or flower-balls, I chose to use tin buckets that I got from SM Department Store. I spray-painted them with metallic lavender color to match our motif. After the paint dried off, I carefully embellished the pails with purple beads that I got from the craft store. The pink ribbons on the handles followed next. I'm even thinking of putting butterflies on the handles for a finishing touch.

I can almost imagine how this will look on our wedding day... My excitement just escalated a few notches with this one. =)

My Beautiful Diamond Wedding Ring...

We have yet to choose our own wedding bands when Leih comes home next year but he insisted on giving me a special wedding ring he saw at a jewelry store I would rather not disclose the name. 
When Leih sent me this picture, I was just blown away at how beautiful my ring is...

It had an intricate design, with 17 full round cut diamonds on the center, studded with 74 single round cut diamonds on the outside. It is just overwhelming.

He wouldn't tell me how much he spent on it but I have a feeling I might gag if I find out so I thought to just go with the flow.

He'll be sending the ring through his aunt, Tita Chichi who will be coming home next month. =)
