Well ever since I saw this on oh la la's blog, I thought it was simply one of the best wedding ideas I've ever seen. A perfect way to keep guests busy, and a good project to include H2B in (while he likes the ribbons and stationery, it's just not the same as chopping up wood).
We went to the car boot sale at the weekend and picked up this assortment of frames. The large one (£2 - bargain) will be blank for faces, as will the medium-sized frame at the top right (30p - even better bargain). I've been collecting old family wedding photos for the others. I've been scanning them in, addding dates and captions so people will know where they've come from and when, and soon I can get some printed to the right size frame! Still might be seeking a diddy frame or two...
I added a little plaque to the big frame which has our names, the date and the faux title "Symphony of silly forms, No 297". As you can see, it's had its first poser already!
I have some snazzy green wallpaper lurking at my parents' house, so a bit close to the date we'll start construction.
I love it when a plan comes together! Pondering whether to have a small bin of props/accessories (tiaras, glasses, hats) to snazz it up? We've got a bit of a reputation for fancy dress, so it would seem to fit. What do you think? Or would all the fancy dress migrate out (but would it be a problem, as it would only be from the evening onwards)?
