    Hi everyone. It is Marilyn here, and I'm delighted to host Nicole's June challenge. June, as many of you know, is the month of weddings. I, for one, got married in June, June 22 to be exact.

    An interesting fact that isn't very romantic: People didn't bathe very often, many took their yearly bath in the spring and got married in June so they wouldn't smell so bad. And then they carried flowers and herbs to help them smell their sweetest. You'll find this and other June wedding tidbits here: https://brombergs.com/the-tradition-of-the-june-bride/

    It's a fun read, for sure. :-)

    I thought this challenge would be perfect to showcase wedding photos. And no, they don't have to be from your wedding. In addition to a wedding photo (or photos), add something white, something blue, and flowers. Of course, flowers!

    Here is a sample layout I created. These are my parents, married in 1942. I love heritage photos and this was a candid shot that I scanned. My background paper is mainly white with blue undertones. I also used some white gesso and tulle. You can find more blue in the artsy bit behind the photo, the blue ribbon at the bottom of the frame and a few blue stars. The artsy bit contains some flowers as well as my single flower to the right of the narrow photo.

    Summary of instructions to include on your page:
    1. A minimum of one wedding photo, anyone's wedding
    2. Something white
    3. Something blue
    4. Flowers

    RULES
    This challenge runs from June 1 to June 30.
    TWO lucky scrappers will be randomly chosen to win a $5 coupon to the NBK Design store.
    You must use 100% NBK Design Products.
    Post your layout in the NBK Design Gallery and in this forum, and link your layout to the gallery.

    This challenge has caught my eye. I'm hoping it leads to a layout using a photo from my parents' wedding. Thank you for the inspiration.

    A family friend was married, on the beach, on May 21st. She gave me permission to use some of their wedding pictures.
