These are all so lovely but can I just ask, what is "the bay" everyone has been talking about?! I assumed it was eBay but wasnt sure!
CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne

Will finish my wedding dress/skirt today and post pics later, and hoping to make bridesmaids clutch bags today......well at least one of them.
My skirt took 3 hours to make, and all I have left to do is add the zip and sew the hem.......and then a good press too.

I've been making my DIY invites for what feels like forever! The big give out day is Saturday so they 'have' to be done by then! But I'm actually finding it's not the making of the invite itself which is time consuming, it's the rest of the fluff that goes with them! Like inserts, and then I'm making little information tags, with wedding gift accomation etc and then RSVP cards, blueeegh! There's so much more than just the lace on the front :( I know it'll be worth it, and the end is in sight but gosh it's def harder work than I first anticpated!
P.s. Anne I'm excited to see your skirt, if it's standard is anywhere near similar to your bm's dresses I know it'll be fab!
CommentAuthorEcoFreak
I forgot how amazing this thread is - everyone's stuff looks fab! :)
Kaz: is the darker blue in your bouquet referred to on their ebay page as "Navy Blue" and the turquoise as "Turquoise (Duck Egg Blue) with Blue Tips"?
Those wooden roses are such good value! And look really good quality too Xx
CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
here is what I have done so far..... it needs the petticoat underneath to make it sticky-outey, I need to do the closure, either button or hook & eye, then the hem needs doing then its just needs pressing and its done.....total time......4 hours.

There are so many people out there who will tell you

What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

Made the best men cards, and same but pink and green for the bridesmaids all personalised.

Finished off our table plan ( i am yet to fix on the name cards, as its still a few months yet.....just incase anything with our guest list should change, so they are not quite central in the pic as they are balanced on the rope ;)) im really chuffed with how its turned out :)
CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
they are lovely KevsAngel..........I particularly love the table plan. I am like you, dubious about the table plan as its still early days....people might send the RSVP saying no. But I could make it as far as you have made yours......Hmmmmm I will probably do that this week.....

CommentAuthorGazza 122
Thanks RaggedyAnne :)
I have all my RSVP's back already, so am pretty organised...but considering how much my guest list had changed (relationships/fall outs grr) i dont want to cast it in stone that it will remain the same lol....
this was originally my prototype...just to see how it would look as a birdcage, but i loved it so much, im going to leave it and use it x
CommentAuthorLisaM80
if anyone has made their own invites? if so is there any chance you could post a pic on my wall? i really need some inspiration and i dont have all that much time left! sorry i know there are probably some pics here somewhere but there are 11 pages! i just dont have time to look through them all. i would really appreciate some ideas. thanks x x
