I can't show images as a newbie, but I'm making my own flower bouquets.

I'm highly allergic to life in general and I just think that a bout of hayfever would ruin my wedding day for me, so I chose some flowers made out of birch bark shavings from Etsy. Add in a packet of floristry wire for £3 and some gold spray paint for £2.50 and you have my whole set of flowers (one bouquet for me, two slightly smaller for bridesmaids) for under £35.

I haven't actually put the bouquets together yet, but I love them.

They sound really nice. I look forward to seeing a photo of them. I still need to figure out what im doing for my bridesmaids bouquet.

Mrs D I've pinched your invites as they are fabulous! (i'm not even having invites.....) anyway, how did you attach the ribbon? Is it glued at the back?

I've had a go at making my place cards. I can't decide which I prefer and OH thinks both are fine. When it comes to actually making them I am going to borrow the guillotinefrom work as I apparently can not cut straight lines with scissors :eek:



I also had a go at making a wedding cake last weekend, I made a 9" cake and a fruit loaf. We're going to keep the 9" and feed it for 6 months then have a taste test (my family, friends and my work colleagues shall be my testers). The fruit loaf I have handed out now for people to try. The cake is at my nana's at the moment but once it comes home I shall post a picture.

They're great! I prefer the one on the right personally; looks a bit more balanced, IYSWIM.

Very few people can cut absolutely straight with scissors, and that includes art students...

The cakes sound yummy - you're so organised! I'm getting married in September this year, and have only just started thinking about the cake. Nowhere near doing place cards yet!

I actually prefer the one on the left, because it's more uneven!! :rotfl::rotfl:

So swings and roundabouts!

I get stressed quite easily and am a natural worrier so I want as much prepared and planned as possible so hopefully it's a breeze.
