ok so i am planning to make the bridesmaid dresses, possible the cake (with help), my veil, but i would like some ideas on place card planning a country rustic sort of wedding what could i use that is free or really cheap also want something different not just a card was thinking pebbles but feels a bit beachy!

any other ideas with this theme would be much appreciated; flowers: sunflowers bridesmaids: probablay pastel green shade.

thanks lovely ladiesx

ooo i did in school (which was forever ago) but will have a look on youtube thanks x

Have you looked at plantable paper

oOoooh Kevs angel, I love them! whats the recipe? We are having birdcages too :-)

xxxxxxxxx

ahh ok, i will post a pic of what i made on here in a bit, recipe is...depending how many u need to make...2 cups plain flour one cup salt and about just over half cup of water, but add water gradually as you mix otherwise you end up with a very sticky glue! lol x

plenty of flour on the surface as it can get warm and sticky when u roll it out etc, then flat baking tray and a minimal heat oven for a good few hours, you can do it in a microwave too but i am unsure on the settings and times, so go for oven as oit works really well :)

or the shape of a leaf? if you are attatching to the roses you already have?.....personally i would paint on or pen on the name after they have been baked as you can loose intricate details like fine carvings as the dough cooks. best thing to do, try it....try the carving and see what you think? good idea tho it will look great!

Actually, painting the names on would be easier wouldnt it, my mans a great artist actually. I could paint the colour on and ask him to do the names in fancy writing. Can you just use ordinary paint? Sorry futureborough for invading your thread lol. Thanks again for the help! Thats one more thing decided on :-)

I was thinking of doing a bird shape or a butterfly shape. I've got butterflies to put on the outside of the cages but I originally wanted to have a bird inside the cage, we decided on just roses and fake diamonds instead.

How are you decorating your cages? Ive found it hard to find any photos to get ideas but I think we've settled on the roses now

Awww they are beautiful, the tables will look stunning!! I'll do a mock up and get a photo on here as soon as I get a chance. Love the birds too! So cute!!
Mines quite different, im having 4 roses inside the cage with some fake pearls n diamonds in the bottom of the cage. Got a wee butterfly to pin to the outside and some petals to put round the bottom :-) Havent decided how to get the roses to stand up in the cage yet though.....lol

Thank you for the salt dough idea, its a winner :-)

xxxxxxxxxx

see I thought about oasis but I didnt know what to cover it with...I love really pretty lace ribbon so thats a fab idea! Thank you again. I was gunna attempt to stick the pearls to it with double sided tape but worried that it will look patchy...Im not very good at crafty stuff lol

I was looking for small black vases but I can only find ones for like £12 and Im not paying that. Id have to buy 6. So the jam jars is another good idea. I might buy some oasis and see what it turns out like :-)

xxxxxxx

no apology need rockabilly chick thats what it is all about, sharing ideas! we both got some great ideas out of it so 2 for the price of 1 winner :) xx
