Doily Details - A Wedding Theme your Nan will Love

We've become a little bit obsessed with all things crochet, white and doily-like in the past week (in fact, I may have impulse bought this crochet dress from Zara the same day I write this article on crochet for bridesmaids... darn it!) Anyway, doily details aren't new to the wedding world, but, by gum, are they gaining in popularity. The best thing about this theme (besides the fact that it's super pretty, obviously) is that it allows for so many mini DIY projects. While the doily-inspired dress in the above photos was actually handmade by the bride herself (agh! I've done nothing with my life!) we don't expect you to get lost in a sea of popcorn and afghans... There are plenty of easy peasy DIY doily projects to get your crafting juices going, such as this doily envelopes project from Bride & Joy and this gorgeous project for doily confetti cones from Heartmadeblog.com.

DIY Comeback Queen

Wednesday 7 September 2022 - DIY - Tags: unusual, quilting, colour, adding, personal, decor, ideas, diy

I made a quilt for a Home Ec. project when I was about 16 years old. It was blue and pink and had a Mr. Men man on it (no particular character). I made a feature of his nose, using a towel-like fabric and padding it out so it stuck out from the rest of his body. To this day that quilt is the single greatest thing I've ever created. This is possibly the reason why I like this here idea so much.

I came across the DIY extravaganzafest that was Jess and TJ's wedding on 100LayerCake and immediately honed in on the eye catching quilt. The quilt was made from piece of fabrics that Jess asked her guests to send her months before the wedding. Her guests sent on pieces from t-shirts, table cloths, baby blankets etc (I know, it's hard enough to get a 'Yay' or 'Nay' text from most people). She then pieced the fabrics together and got a local embroiderer to finish it off.

I think it added a really nice splash of colour to her photos and was a brilliant way to make the guests feel part of the day.

DIY Weddings: Papel Picado Flags

Thursday 1 September 2022 - DIY - Tags: project, inspiration, flags, paper, bunting, wedding, diy

A cute and easy DIY project to create your very own Papel Picado flags. Hang them in the church or drape them around you reception room to help add a splash of colour to your big day.

 Materials

�       Various colours of tissue paper - maybe in your wedding colour theme

�       Double sided tape or glue

�       Scissors

�       Ribbon

�       Paper for template

 Step-by-step

1. Fold paper for the template into 1/6s length-wise. Once paper is in 1/2, fold it into 1/3s.

 2. Cut small shapes along the folded sides of the template.

 3. Open to see if you like the pattern.

4. Then lay the template over the tissue paper, which should be folded in the exact same way the template is.

5. Cut the tissue in the same pattern as the template.

6. Unfold and repeat in the same way for other colours of tissue.

7. Lay ribbon out and stick different colour tissue flags side-by-side on the ribbon with the double sided tape or glue. Leave about enough space either side so the banner can be tied up.

8. Stick another piece of ribbon to the front side of the banner.

9. Now hang it up and stand back to admire all your 'hard' work!

All Part of the Job

Tuesday 23 February 2022 - DIY, Fashion, Real Weddings - Tags: diy, gold, cream

It's my job to know whats going on in the wedding world. It's my job to sift through the wedding blogs daily, to know the trends and know what photographers are on the 'it list'...and if you were to ask ...its my favourite part of the job. I love seeing how much talent is out there. And just when I thought I'd seen it all, I find someone totally new and totally amazing, like today. I came across Jill Thomas, who is responsible for these stunning wedding photos. Of course it doesn't hurt that the bride is beautiful and stylish. Oh and...her mother made her dress...yea...
