Thanks pichi! And ditto to you and your journal. I'm always watching the creeper that I am

Thanks Donna! I just use a bog stand Epson one lol.. printed on 280gsm bog standard card! My day invites were on 300gsm though I think. I designed them to be printed on A4 then cut up... think you get 4 of the evening ones in the photo to 1 A4 sheet xx

Thank you!

I finished the cake stands for the centerpieces. I forgot if I said what is going to be put on them?

They started off life like this. Used for cake decorating, they rotate to make icing easy. I like that they rotate, I had plans to get creative with them so the cheap plastic look didn't matter. And they WERE very cheap!

Aww thank you everyone It's SO close... but it still feels like a very long time away! I really need to get on with making the last few final things...

 

[michyk84]

[Tasha]

Eeeek just over three weeks, exciting stuff.

Thank you ladies!!

Well, the lollipop sticks arrived. So made cupcake flags

And the cake stand. £16!

And I prettied it up a bit.

Have an idea or 2 more for the cake stand... we'll see!

 

[xSin]

I haven't posted in a while but still stalking and still totally inspired by your style!!! Can't wait to see pics of the big day when it all comes together!

 

[modified]

Thank you!

Well, I've covered the "pillars" of the cake stand in the same blue polka dot material! Might add something or other tomorrow too.

Colin's and Charlie's (my 1 year old - tomorrow! Well today now - ring bearer nephew) matching bow ties! The seller posted it and said: "thanks to Toni from Edinburgh for her custom order. I can't wait to see the pics of your partner & little baby boy in their matching bowties!" Total misunderstanding but it did make me squee. Hopefully we'll have a wee one to get a matching bow tie/headband for sooner rather than later ;D /ramble

 

[ChezTunes]

Aww, they're gorgeous!

 

[modified]

Can't wait to get them!

Look at that ticker!

I've just started on the yarn pom poms to put on the chairs lining the aisle (yeah, I know). If I do 3 a day starting today (I've already made 3 so will go for 6 today), I'll have them done by November 6th. They're almost the size of my hand and so monotonous to make. There'll probably be the odd day I crank out more though.

 

[pichi]

eek! Only 2 weeks to go!!! How exciting. I can't wait to see your photos

 

[modified]

And not much longer for you! It's crazy. Where has the time gone?!

Bow ties arrived today. One for Colin and a matching one for my 1 year old nephew (ring bearer)

One cake topper done. Excuse the horrendous quality webcam photo... not only is my phone dead and Colin appears to be sleeping on the charger but I can't find my camera. I'll take a photo during the day when my phone is charged
