I saw four weddings today, the Registry Office is in the same building as the library. The first wedding party turned up in two stretch limo's, the next two came in ordinary cars with ribbons adorning them, and the last one brought the bride in this beautiful glass carriage with two fabulous white horses. Everyone came out of the library to have a look.
Well, the brides and grooms certainly seemed to have lovely weather for their big days! It is always lovely to see them just starting out.
ReplyDeleteGreat news - selling two pictures! You have certainly had a busy week.
So pleased you sold some work I expect would have been very tired this well.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to see the Cinderella coach.

Pretty as can be. Well done on the pics - bet you didn’t want to part with them x
ReplyDeleteI don't mind now, time to move on. They can't be removed until the end of the exhibition.
DeleteTwo pictures sold! Can't wait to see which ones they were. I wonder if they were my favourites too.
ReplyDeleteA real princess coach....bit OTT for my taste.
ReplyDeleteWell done on two pictures selling -
Sorry but I'm going to say that pic leaves me cold! Not to rain on their matrimonial parade but it begs the question, just how serious are they being about the whole marriage deal? Great news on your picture sales, you deserve it, your work is very appealing.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly must of cost a fortune hope they are happy and not divorcing in a couple of years . Glad your art work is a hit Ilona hope you make more sales xx
DeleteWell done!Two more pictures sold!.Ive got my favourites...the first one on your arts and craft page,with the mountain in the background and the beach huts one further down the page...As lovely as the wedding photos are..there seems to be so much money..thousands...spent on weddings these days.I was just as guilty,myself 43 years ago!.I would do it so much different now!!,xx
ReplyDeleteExcellent news about the picture sales. Sorry, but I agree with a couple of others - in my view the carriage was vulgar; however, each to their own and of course it was THEIR day.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, not many like the glass carriage, I think it's lovely. Who's to know whether the marriage will last or not? Or how serious they are about the whole marriage deal? How much they spent on the wedding is no indication of the longevity of the union, or whether they went into it with their eyes wide open. I would not speculate without knowing the couple personally.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ilona. It's their choice and their special day so clearly it makes them happy. I think its very pretty, even though it would not be my own choice. Each to his/her own, as they say. I don't see what the style of transport has anything to do with the seriousness of their marriage as one reader commented. Rather sceptical comments about the longevity of their marriage too I see. I think its lovely to see two happy people in love and starting out on a new life together. I remember how we felt when we got married, and are still together 42 years later. True, some marriages don't last these days, and I don't know anything about this couple. However, I wish them a long and happy time together
DeleteI think the carriage is beautiful. I have seen it .. or one like it.. in the flesh. It looks like Cinderella's coach
ReplyDeleteI have seen some like it. They are very popular riding up and down the Promenade at Blackpool.
DeleteI too agree with the others ...the horse and glass carriage is a tad over the top for me....Katie Price aka Jordan had the same at one of her many weddings! I see the carriage driver is standing there looking a bit bemused by it all. When they look back at those photos all they'll see is a car park as a back drop.
ReplyDeleteI can't see his face in great detail so I can't tell if he is bemused. There is also a young lady with him dressed in very smart riding gear. She was asked to be in the photographs and stepped forward close to the bride who was still sat in the carriage. It's just work to them, I expect they have been paid well for it or they wouldn't do it. It is a shame about the backdrop, but there is no other way to get the whole thing close to the building.
DeleteA person adept at Photoshop can replace the car park backdrop with something more beautiful. I am not able to work such wonders but my daughter is a whiz. I love the glass carriage and horses carrying the bride to her wedding. It's the first time I've seen such a lovely, romantic means of transport.
DeleteWow, Cinderella comes to life.
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant Ilona, you are a professional artist! Many congratulations.
ReplyDeleteWonder who has to clean up the horse poo?
I LOVE the glass carriage! They can pull over into or in front of a park or pretty yard and do it all over or just sit in carriage and get a good background.
