Since the Royal Wedding earlier this year and the very fact that wedding invitations keep appearing, through the letter box, in my inbox, by text, even my Dad's getting married! I got to thinking about wedding lists, not that any of the weddings I'm attending have wedding lists, but I think it was more because I was thinking about the wedding list of a Prince and Princess, what would you buy them , imagine all the dignitaries and Royals and celeberaties, they could splash out on pretty much anything, or give a piece of art or a collectable from thier own personal collection, just to curry favour with the newly weds.
So here are just a few of the things I thought would make great gifts or I'd rather like for myself, it dosn't end here because of course once I got started I got a bit carried away with myself....imagining who might perform the service, I allowed myself anyone from history, alive or dead...Rumi I thought would be a good choice....and then a couple of readings.....Ben Okri and
Rabindranath Tagore.
Joni Mitchell could sing a couple of tunes, backing vocals... numerous ladies of the canyon and the bridesmaids could be Isadora Duncan, Sonia Delaunay and Frida Kahlo and Tracey Emin.
The wedding Photographer would be Lee Miller and Catering inspired by Laura Esqivel and Peter Greenaway............. Just a few of the items that might be on the list.......as follows
This blanket by Sonia Delaunay.....
.......beautiful morrocan wool rug, my feet can hardly wait to sink into the thick pile....
A week at the Bathing House on Sharphan Estate, waking up to this view of the river Dart..
This sunset over Putsborough bay on a balmy evening in May......
This charming silver drinking straw (currently part of the V&A collection) when you drink from the straw the sails go round and the people go up and down the ladder..not sure how but apparently they do.
Also from the V&A this heavenly boat made of gold and shell....
And this gorgeous stove I photographed at a thrift store In Idyllwild last year.....to ship it back to England would probably have cost more than the stove.
Marlene Dumas would of course be a guest and her gift would be my favourite painting of hers. Ivory Black
These botanical prints from Whippet Grey...there's a whole series and I love them, especially I love colour on black.
Like I said...not exhuastive!
