Peg Doll cake decorations

I have just finished these 2 wedding cake toppers for Fi and Andy who are getting married in a couple of weeks. I made these to look like the happy couple complete with hand painted kilt in Andy's family tartan and ribbon to match Fi's dress. I hope you both have a lovely day! x

New wedding invitation for Ballisticblue.com...

Ballisticblue.com, a brilliant online invitation company, got in touch with me after receiving one of my published cards and asked me to design some invitations for them. Along with some party and special occasion invitations they asked me to design an invitation for a civil ceremony and this is what I came up...



It is now on their website and you can personalize it with your own details.

With love in the air and a spring in our steps..

I love spring time, it makes me feel so happy! And especially this year as I have so many close friends that have just got engaged and are planning their weddings... 5 couples in fact which makes me very excited as we all know I love a good wedding! So... what with the lovely news of engagement and the sunny new season I thought I would share with you a picture of the beautiful vases I collected for my own wedding filled with the joys of spring!

Sneaky Peak...

Im now starting on a new project for a lovely couple that are getting married this summer. They are getting married in a beautiful venue in Norfolk called Voewood Hall which is full of arts and crafts. Its also known as the Butterfly house because of the layout. Here is a sneaky peak at the mood board I have put together....



Its soooooo nice thinking summer wedding thoughts when its so cold outside.

Our perfect wedding day

...and it really was. The sun came out just for us! Everything came together so perfectly with out any stress or worry. Our photographer was amazing and capured the day brilliantly. He totally got the look and style I was after and I am soooooo pleased with all the pics. Find him at Johnharrisphotography.co.uk.

I had such a lovely time planning and styling the whole day, it was the best project I have ever worked on! Our theme was vintage mixed with a garden party/ fete feel. Very relaxed, fun, handmade and crafty. This fitted perfectly with the setting which was a beautiful shabby chic country esate in the depths of the norfolk countryside.

My mood board helped me to collect my colour pallete and ideas....




And it went from the mood board to this....











Our amazing chocolate wedding cake was made for us by our lovely friend Katie and I made the mini Matt and Libby peg dollies to sit on the top. If you are interested in having bespoke cake toppers like these for your wedding, please get in touch as these were so much fun to make!



We used an old suitcase as a place for the guests to kindly leave their cards for us..



We had a sweets table which was such a good idea, the adults loved it as much as the kids and it looked so pretty!



Obviously taste was important with the sweets but I tried to pick ones that looked lovely too! I collected heaps of jars in the build up to the wedding and then tied ribbon and lace around them to pretty them up. These were great for the sweets and also dotted around with candles in.



For the name cards, I kept to the tag theme which I used with the save the date cards. I found a lovely print set and stamped everyones name in gold ink. The girls had pink ribbons and the boys had green along with a button stitched on to the bow..





In the lead up to the wedding I searched charity shops for vintage style cut glass vases and crotchet table clothes. Each table had a selection and the vases were filled with beautiful dahlias in all different pinks. This matched my colour scheme perfectly which was carried out on all my stationery including the table numbers and menus..






To thank everyone for their kind donations to our amazing honeymoon in Kauai, Hawaii and San Francisco I made a card in the style of a postcard which showed many of our holiday pics ..
