The inspiration site this week was a Pinterest board featuring gorgeous wedding shoes for the bride. This photo was my inspiration. The romance of a wedding made me think of the days when women carried fans(although living in a hot, humid climate where there isn't any A-C is far from romantic IMO) : )
This fan is patterned after a gorgeous fan card sent to me by Jennifer(mother's daughter).

Now this looks like it took some time to put together, Sallie! Beautiful fan that you've certainly made romantic by adding the roses, the soft colors, pearls and beautiful die-cuts! Great take on the inspired piece~
On June 6th, 2014 my niece got married at Norfolk Botanical Gardens. Hand fans in the wedding colors were passed out to all the women. Thankfully, the ceremony was short and the reception was inside!

Your fan looks like it might have taken you an inordinate amount of time with construction, Sallie. Love the dies used and the colors and flowers are wonderfully soft and feminine to reflect your choice of inspiration.

Pure gorgeousness, Sallie!! A romantic and beautiful keepsake!
Wouldn't it be a beautiful sight to see a church or hall filled with ladies and beautiful fans such as this one. Of course there would need to be a hat to match, and don't forget the gloves, so romantic and ladylike!
