    Thank you so much everyone. I am so pleased it comes across as a very informal wedding, as that's just how we wanted it to be.

    I forgot to say that all the DIY went down a storm with guests, I wish I had taken more cards for the top tip tree, as guests were writing more than one tip each - plus I had 250 free from vistaprint so had plenty :rotfl: I am pleased we just left it as a branch, and didn't spray white/silver, it fitted in really well. 644c7531-5d02-4e94-8fb9-a8b110e350de_zps253867be.jpg

    My flowers lasted too, I wasn't sure how they would hold up with being passed around and put down/picked up etc but they held out well.

    Our signing frame is now up on the wall, waiting for us to decide on what photo to put in it. 92db16c0-8004-48bf-9b21-ebef261a8bec_zps048ff1d3.jpg

    Goodybags too were fab and everyone seemed to like them. e25d786a-33ac-4539-8e6f-4a42e5dbf16d_zps74c5bab3.jpg

    The homemade photobooth got used by just about everyone, and by using a webcam, it meant people could leave video messages too.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    Jax, are your flowers real or are they those foam ones? A florist is making me up a bouquet something similar to yours in the foam flowers to see if I like it.

    This is a link to 'My 3k Wedding Thread' where I show how I made them.

    I can't remember total cost but the small foam roses were around 99p for 2 bunches of 6, and the larger cream foam roses were around £10 for 24.

    I didn't initially want flowers, but my MOH and BM said they would feel funny walking down the aisle with nothing in their hands so I made these, they took about 5mins each to put together, I was going to wrap the stems in a green florist tape, but in the end didn't bother.

    I will update the final figure on my 3k wedding thread sometime in the next week or two, so you can see how I fared (or failed :rotfl:).
