What did you make for your wedding?

I am crap at making stuff but I made the favours and also some tealight holders for around the flowers. I also did my own table plan in picture frames

I will keep trying to flash but I am having real issues with pictures sorry!

By the time it comes around i will have made.....

All the stationery

5x tiaras

bridesmaids Jewellery

cake

favours

Absolutely nothing!!

We made our table plan, the flags for our drinks, the chocolate midnight feasts, limoncello as a palate cleanser, menus, table numbers, bunting, jars for candles, all sorts!

I've made the stationery

place cards

place card holders

table centres

confetti

confetti cones

table plans

favours

and probably a few other things I've forgotten.

Cricket - I dont suppose you still have that suitcase for the cards and want to sell/hire it out to us would you please ?!?!?!

We do still have it, yes. It's earmarked for Ebay but I shall check with Mr CB he's happy for it to go and we can chat about cost.

ETA: We have a big pile of stuff we're going to Ebay so I shall bump up my wedding report and you can let me know if there's anything else that might be useful!

Just a massive dent in the bank balance

Do wish i was arty and a maker of things but i'm not

So far I've made:

all the flowers from felt and buttons

Newspaper flowers to go in beer bottles for the bar

and plan to make/design:

All the paper - invities, menus etc

Menu holders from the tree in our garden

tissue pompoms to go at the pew ends

Growing vegetable plants as centrepieaces

Cakes are being made by our Grans. OH's Gran is making a fruit cake to cut and my Gran is making 100 (!) cupcakes. I'm decorating all of them ?

A washing line table plan made from luggage tags and photos from close family's wedding days.

2 sets of cufflinks and a neacklace for the brides attendants. (two of them are men so no necklace for them)

Mr&Mrs banner

Hip Hip Horah! banner

chalk board

bunting

My dress is being made by a dressmaker on esty and my CBM's dress is being made by her Mum who's also a dressmaker.

Fantastic, thank you. Just leaving work now so will have a look when we get home.

Thanks,

We're making, the cake, the flower arrangements, the table numbers, the table centres, the place cards and our confetti cones as well as our favors. we're also buying napkins and my aunt is going to embroider every one of them (45!) with mine and my H2B initials and the date! and my MOH is crocheting me a little bride and groom for our cake

we have 18 months, so we have time

I'm making my own table plan and table numbers, i've also painted my own LOVE letters.

We have made:

Everything to do with stationery - STDs, invites & RSVPs, table plan & numbers, programs, postbox, crossword

Everything to do with flowers: bouquets (well my mum did it), fascinators, buttonholes & corsages, table centrepieces

Sporrans - 2 of

The labels for liqueur and ale - we designed them even though we didn't print them ourselves.

The playlist - we're on an ipod system at the venue.

My sister will be making the cakes and a cake topper.

Flashies:

Sprran for my OH, my fascinator, corsgae for my mum

Corsage for MIL, buttonhole for OH, Buttonholes for boys

Sporran #2, liqueuer bottles

Invitations and centrepieces.

Phew! No wonder we're exhausted!

I made my own centre pieces (with help from mum) and other table decorations, bouquet, button holes, postbox, table names, confetti cones (confetti was dried petals from ours and family gardens) and lace jam jar candle holders.

OH designed our table plan and family tree.

My brother designed our invites, OOS and all the rest of the stationary and OH and I put them together.

It was fun making so much - it made it very personal.

OH has made,

save the date,

invites,

table numbers,

pocket squares (pocket hankies)

I have made

brooch bouquet,

flower girl bags,

table plan,

flower girl headbands,

stands for sweets

and there are lots of bits and pieces that I have changed or adapted e'g table centres,balloon weights bags and flower girl dresses

We have a candy buffet, a photobooth, caricature artist, boat rides, and if the kids get bored they can change into clothes .Other thing was the wedding favor with the welcome words printed in that.There are many arrangement had to plan it.

I've made the 2 flower girl baskets, seen lovely rose covered baskets for sale but couldn't get the colour I wanted, so bought plain ivory satin baskets from Debenhams and completely covered basket with the correct colour fabric roses and attached bows and ribbons in the same colour to the handles, was really pleased with the result, really didn't think it would work but it did. Now can't find head-bands to match and considering buying ivory satin headbands and converting these to match like I did with the baskets - not sure it'll work but may be worth a try ?

Have also done all stationery:

Invites

reply cards

Save the Date

Orders Service

Hexangonal Favour Boxes

Have also made 'thanks you for sharing our day' buckets for the tables to fill with goodies such as party poppers, inflatables for the kids, glow bracelets, bubbles etc.

Am at work so can't upload any pics ?

Everyones posts sound great and loving all the flashes. All your work looks amazing.

I need to start getting some ideas on stationary. We wont be sending invites out till Jan time but with these dark nights coming in i really should get started. Once again i dont know where to start!

I have been making some wine charms and hoping to start making the wedding favours soon.

I love all the organising and getting ideas!

We made the thank you cards ourselves: went for 'stylishly simple'!

A few dried rose petals stuck on a white card, with a hand written 'thank you'.

The personal touch.....

I'm making my stationary and some peppermint creams for favours. I'm also customising my bridesmaid dresses (although it'll probably only be adding a sash which really doesn't count as "making")

I will have made the invitations, order of the day booklets, place cards, tableplan, bridesmaids jewellery, my jewellery,possibly the menu cards and table numbers but the venue have offered to do these...

Between Mum and I we will have made: bottom tier of cake, favours/namecards, menus, lots of decorations, heart shaped sugar lumps, embroidered butterflies, confetti envelopes and probably some presents

We made the invitations, placecards and will do the order of service, thank you cards and table plan. OH's mum is making our cake. I'm still toying with knitting myself a wrap - winter wedding, might come in handy!

Would you mind sharing how you're making these? I would love to make some, especially the washing line. I couldn't work out how to do the washing line though!
