nat82 - what about taking a photo of them held up against a lapel or smart top to give us/you an idea of the size...I like the simpler one on the left I think...

Thanks kte, I'll get OH to take a picture later and post them. I think I like the one on the left too. I think I'd get away with using fewer stalks too becasue of the pink crystals. I could put an extra few stalks in for the groom but may get away with 3 or 5 for the other men.

What about this one? I can do the ribbon in Black Organza as well but the mens jackets and shirts will be black, with the fuchsia ties.





And for the Groom:

Has anyone else been looking on the Martha Stewart Weddings site? https://www.marthastewartweddings.com
Love it! SO much inspiring stuff....

I get lost in the Martha Stewart sites - there's so much.

Lovely to see everyone's crafty stuff, it's all beautiful.

I finished my shawl last night, woo-hoo! Now I can clean all the bits of angora off the sofa that have been bugging me. I've done all the knitting and woven in the ends, just need to block it at the weekend, then I can get some good photos to show you all.

I finished and blocked my shawl at the weekend, almost feel quite emotional about it!



Also made my bunting for the outside yesterday, not as good as the stuff my sister made for the inside but that can be seen more closely so better that way round!

MsChazzer - it's exquisite, what a fantastic job you have done. xx

Wow...love that shawl...
I've been busy folding origami cranes over the weekend to decorate the reception. I'm having a Japanese theme to my wedding stuff - the story goes that folding 1000 paper cranes makes your wish come true (but it's more that I think they just look pretty!)...not sure I'll be making it to 1000 though!
