DIY Wedding

I am still feeling under the weather after excessive partying at reading festival over the bank holiday. Luckily I have been on late shifts at work which has allowed me the luxury of long lie-ins. I have been using this lazing time productively and researching things for the wedding. 


I am very keen to have an element of individuality about our wedding which  am hoping to achieve through adding some home-made touches. As you know I am a keen crafter so it is not the 'how' that has been stumping me for ideas but the 'what'. I have seen so many variations, designs and ideas that I liked but until now nothing had struck that WOW chord with me. 


Today whilst browsing one of my favourite craft website Eat Drink Chic (http://www.eatdrinkchic.com) I found my perfect invitation design which is both cheap to produce and relatively easy (although time consuming!) to make. I also used the links section to source other similar websites that were more specifically aimed at weddings and from these have sourced even more creative ideas for my wedding.


My first project will be the invitations-I am currently pricing up the materials I need such as the paper, and then I can make the templates and get going. Other projects in the pipeline will be origami flowers for decorating the reception room and a quirky twist on the traditional guest book! I will let you know how they turn out!!
