... is the DIY part!

All my favours, table plan, name places (and secret extras people don't know about) had to be handed in today. Although I am an organised lady - I was still up to 3am last night finishing them damn favours.

My recommendations for all you DIY brides is plan plan ahead. I had done most things ahead and thought I had plenty of time, but it soon catches up with you.

I am a very happy bunny to have handed it all in now - visiting my venue dressed up all xmassy helped get my wedding Mojo back after all the prep stress ?

Tut, tut.

Hmm flashes of the DIY or venue. Unfortuantely I took none of the venue, but basically it is like this:

You ask for flashes and as it happens I am one of those who doesn't take pictures of the complete works, but of our methods and madness.

table plan - looks wonky here, but its not!

below - making our 80 favours. (roses (sweets) with a tag that had to be holepunched and ribboned in a clear bag that was then also done up with lots of ribbon. Very sore fingers from this!

below: me making our light up twigs.

and whilst making our invites (don't worry these went out ages ago!)

I know how you feel, i still got a few loose ends to tie up. Your venue looks gorgeous by the way and love the colour scheme.
