DIY madness! *addes more pictures*

I love your bouquet, I think you've done a fab job, and you'll enjoy and be proud of it even more as you learnt new skills in making it.

The invitations look great too, I've been coveting the Martha Stewart butterfly punch for ages - might treat myself to one for Christmas!

Thanks

Both the butterfly punches are from hobbycraft! The big one is quite hard to use on the thick card we only make like 10 at a time and keep them in an envelope because it is such hard work.

I love the butterflies on your invites.

the flowers you have made are fantastic.

Thanks Originally I was going to handmake the big butterflies on the invites. I gave up after a few because each one took almost an hour to cut. I tried doing them in stacks but that murdered the knives!

I bet knitted ones would look amazing! I wish I could knit, I have tried to learn many times and failed

It's not that hard if you stick to simple things, honestly. you can hide a lot of sins with the right wool too!

MissPixie

I am not really a fabric/wool/thread type of person because I have a background of illustration and sculpture. I thought it would be too much to make a wire bouquet so I just accepted the stems would have wire enough for me!
I enjoyed doing the flowers for while but I prefered putting them together rather than all that embroidery, that was driving me round the bend after 2 days and we have to make loads of favours yet which are embroided..fun lol

I finished table name cards last night, another thing ticket off my to do list makes me very happy!
I might take pictures of our favours and table name cards actually while I already have a thread..

Table name cards (can you guess the theme )




Place cards (the writing won't be as messy as this one we might even print them this was just a test card and I wanted to write bride on it because it makes me excited hehe)




Favours




All the ones left to make...

You've put such a lot of work into it all...your guests will no doubt be amazed by it all....a real labour of love.
