Going home after the wedding?
loves-young-dream, 12 February, 2013 at 20:03

Anyone doing this? Or does everyone stay in a hotel afterwards? We may just go home as our venue is a barn and not many hotels near by! Just wondering what everyone else is doing! x

Anyone made their own vintage card suitcase?
2013_Bride_, 4 February, 2013 at 21:36

Did you add material into the inside of the suitcase to cover the old lining? How did you attach it? How did you make the 'card' sign? Thanks!
