Wow.
Just two more weeks until the big day! I have been busy organising and crafting – not to mention ordering some lovely handmade goodness from my online friends.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the lovely things I’ve gathered together for the big day!
The paper flowers I blogged a tutorial about are mounting up… I bought some more tissue paper today, so who knows how many I’ll end up with!
At first I thought I might hang these from twine… but now I’m thinking I might scatter them on the cake table with a pebble hidden in the middle to weigh them down… will have to think some more – maybe both if I get enough!
I’ve also made some hair ornaments – but another dilemma has presented itself! I first made this lovely little comb to wear…
But the other day I was chatting with some friends online and one of them mentioned hair vines. I looked them up and thought they looked pretty, so I made one. This has a mix of glass pearls, glass crystals, moonstone and labradorite.
I don’t want to wear both, though – and I can’t decide which one I want to go with! I might have to do a test run and see which I like most.
Also, the other day when I showed you all my wedding jewellery, and the earrings I made for my matron of honour, I forgot to include this. My matron of honour is my best friend from school, Penny, and she sent me this a while ago to be my ’something blue’. I’m going to wear it as an anklet under my dress.
Now, a few of the lovely things I have found online! First, I am getting a custom felt wedding cake from the lovely Kathleen at Felt Food Creations! It will be on a cake on the day, and a lovely little keepsake in the future. Here’s the one she has in her shop as the example cake – ours will have some lilac tulips and our initials embroidered in the top.
I also decided to order some custom bunting – and so I visited Amy over at Giggleberry Creations! I got it in the post the other day – and it’s gorgeous!! I’m envisioning this strung between some trees in the park during the morning champagne and cake reception..
I also went and got some good old balloons and streamers today, plus a white tablecloth and tablecloth weights. Its getting very exciting now – only a few things to do next week – most of the organising now will be in the day or two before!
Finally – a very important purchase made yesterday…
Waterproof, anyone??

Well, I’ve finally gotten around to deciding on and making all of the jewellery for my wedding!
It’s about three weeks to go now, and I’ve still got a few more bits and pieces of crafting to do – but it’s a relief to know the jewellery is under control.
So, here it is!
My bracelet – I made this earlier this year…
My necklace and earrings – the focal points of these are some gorgeous Swarovski crystals, which I got from Artbeads.com (I’ve got a whole lot of other Swarovski stuff to show you all soon!)
The necklace and earrings are a matching colour of crystal – and in my usual simple style. I’m not a fancy girl… but I think these will really go well with my dress. You’ll have to be the judge in a few weeks time when I can post wedding photos!
So – what do you think?
