Poor neglected blog

Just to say, I've merged this blog into my main blog so you can see all my wedding related posts in one place by clicking on the tag wedding.

Veil sneak peek

Here's a sneak peek of my handmade veil...



I might show you some more photos soon if you ask nicely...

The invitations continued...

The fabric flowers have now been added. I do rather love them if I do say so myself!




I was inspired by this beautiful invitation set (and whole wedding!). I decided not to sew around the edge- I simply glued the flowers on to the screenprinted cards. Cutting out the flowers is very fiddly but I think the effect is worth it. Don't you?

The printing of the invites has commenced

So I dug my gocco out of retirement and printed up our wedding invites this weekend...


I even let the husband-to-be have a go...

I'm really pleased with how they came out. The fonts were Albermarle Swash and Little Lord Fauntleroy (can't find a link to it at the moment!).

Next step is to add some colour in the form of fabric flowers. I'll show some more photos soon.

Crafty to do list

I need to make a list of all my crafty wedding plans otherwise I'm going to lose track...

• Veil & tiara- done!
• Invitations- in progress
• RSVP cards for invitations
• Directions for invitations
• Other info card for invitations
• Thank you cards
  
• Favour bags- will be simple fabric bags filled with treats with a little label tied on
• Menu cards
• Programmes
• Place cards
• Table plan
• Confetti bags?
• Bridesmaid/parents gifts etc.?
  
• Exploding head (mine)?- yes definitely!
  

On the hunt...

for the perfect font.

I know what I want our wedding invitations to look like and I know roughly what I want them to say. But I need to find just the right font to say those words.

Love the effect but it's not the look I'm after.

I really like this one, it's a contender!

I like this one a lot, it could be the winner!

In 6 months time...

I'll be a wife.

There's lots of craftiness planned but nothing I can show you yet. Soon I promise.

In the meantime, here's some inspiration, click the image to see the original on flickr and the credits.
