I'm back!!!!!! (Again!)

Its been a while! About 18 months! Can't believe how fast time has gone!! 

Well, It's been almost 6 months since my wedding - and I know it's a cliche and that EVERY bride says it, but it was the best day of my life! Hand on heart I can honestly say that nothing went wrong!!


It goes without saying that I made all my own stationary and paper based items for the big day, as well as a few non paper bits too! so I'll let you take a gander at some of my hard work! 

Magnetic Save the dates:
We didn't know the colour scheme at this point so kept it simple!


Invites:
Silver pocketfolds with teal and navy matting. Ivory embossed dress, pearl necklace, ribbon belt, teal satin tie with a tiny real black button on the tux!!



Order of service:


Place cards:


Menu cards:
On the reverse of the table names.


Table names:
On the reverse if the menus.


Table plan:
On the reverse if out chalkboard!


Chalkboard signs:


I also made my own fimo cake toppers:
Fry, Leela and nibbler from futurama.

My Harry Potter ring 'pillow':
On chapter 6 as we were in our 6th year together when he proposed!


Grandparent Charms for my bouquet:

Post wedding - A decoration for our Xmas tree using hubby's dried buttonhole and some of our confetti:

I also made reserved signs, 'please take the flowers' signs, special thankyou cards for both sets of parents, my husband and bridesmaids, I made my two tier veil and beaded my own veil comb.

It was super important to me that I could include handmade elements into our day as that is a big part of who I am. The futurama cake toppers were a surprise for my husband, he LOVES futurama so I did these in secret and revealed them on the big day. He loved them!! Little did I know that he was going to call me his 'leela' in his speech!! Awwww. We are also massive movie geeks - our music was movie themed, as was my ring holder and the table names too!! (There were 2 more but they got taken home by guests!!) Gold stars to anyone who can name where the pub/bar names are from!!

Well, that's the crafty side of the wedding recapped with a quick look at the crafty things that I made. I'm planning on blogging more regularly now I haven't got a wedding to prep for, so prepare to hear from me more often! Lol!! 

Thanks for reading!! I'd love to hear hat you think of everything I made! Speak soon!!!xx
