How to Create Beautiful Wedding Welcome Baskets

One of the great blessings of my life is having a mom who gives gifts that look and feel like a work of art. How can I describe, without sounding boastful, my enchanted childhood? When a little girl has a mother like mine, everything that surrounds her is sweet, gentle, graceful, and pure. Everything, from the clouds of tulle that float above her canopy bed, to her lovely doll collection. Even the littlest details of my girlhood were exquisite—my pretty hair ribbons, my whimsical wardrobe, even the peanut butter and honey sandwiches in my school lunches, bore the imprint of my mother’s love. Every day, I received a little a note in her beautiful handwriting, telling me I was loved. And I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, it was true.
