    Well, we were just going to have ribbons, which i already have.And are obviously very MSE!

    Thanks everyone, the Oasis Le Klip cost around £2 each, wire 50p at the most, ribbon/buttons I had around the house, from car boots/charity shops, no more than £1 for each one, and the hearts were about £2 each from the Christmas market! So, in total, you could make one for around £5.50 at the most :)

    That's lovely! You've done a brilliant job! I want to see the white ones too (when you've made them!)

    I don't really get the comment that you could have got flowers cheaper... not very helpful and a bit of a back-handed insult! These are longer lasting and will stick in your guest's memories more than flowers will, you could sell them afterwards and more than make your money back! Get yourself on Etsy with them, you'll do really well! :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Indeed - especially considering Rene's latest post about how her bridesmaids are not very forthcoming with helpful and kind comments..... :cool:

    Oh and WOW - i love the pew ends .... so gorgeous....wish i was crafty enough to make them!!
    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    I think they look fab, very time consuming though i imagine.
