The DIY Wedding Thread

Here is my 1st attempt at a tiara! Need to order some crimp beads to do the antennae properly but this would look nice for my daughter!

What do you think?

Will have to post on here when I finally get our invites sorted.
Just for myself I'm getting these and adding a tiny photo of my mum to be put on a ribbon and will get my florist to tie this into my bouquet. She died a few years ago and I know I will have a brilliant happy day but will still miss her like hell. I wanted to have a photo of her with me, I thought I could put it in a handbag but I probably won't have 1 with me on the day, then I saw something similar on another website. I asked my oh if people would think it was odd, he reassured me that no its not odd, odd would be a lifesize cardboard cut out!!!:rotfl:

Violetta, that will be gorgeous and what a beautiful idea. Definately not an odd idea! More like a brilliant idea and she will be with you all day.

Thanks Violetta! Very, very 1st attempt so I thought I did not too bad! If I can get better at it then I can save a fortune for myself, 3 bridesmaids and flowergirl!

Aw thanks Nat getting all teary now at your comment. Better make sure my bridesmaid has lots of tissues, when we met the celebrant I kept getting teary when he was talking about the wedding. I know it will be tears of happiness but I'm worried I'm going to cry all through the wedding lol daft moo!!

Oh, I didn't mean to make you cry!!!! My sister in law cried all the way through her wedding! I think it's a natural thing to do! I'll be crying too! We can be daft moo's together!

Oh don't worry honey I seem to cry lots which is difficult sometimes especially at happy wedding stuff. Sure someones gonna stop the wedding and say it's ok you don't have to marry him :rotfl:

I think this is a really beautiful idea.

My h2b's dad died last year so if you dont mind, i might copy your idea and put a charm in my bouquet for him. I was thinking of how i could incorporate my late fil2b in our wedding and this idea is perfect.

Nat - I love that tiara, well done for your first attempt!
