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.

Back and crafting like a crazy crafting bride

Well it's been a while hasn't it? The wedding is seven months away and I'm now getting into the crafting ready for the big day. The bridesmaid dresses have been purchased so I know what the colour palette is based on, I have bought shoes to match for me and I've made my veil!

So I guess you want photos of all these things? Well here are the dresses & shoes...

You'll have to wait a little longer for the veil photos but I promise I won't be long...
