Wedding Dress: "tick"

I finally finished the Audrey inspired up-cycled wedding dress! Not quite as happy with it as I wanted to be but still, I made a wedding dress!

Trust me to choose the last day of sunshine for the rest of the year and for it to rain instead! But we did acquire an amazing dog for a prop! Next attempt soon I think, thicker fabric and twice as much tulle…

Winter inspiration

Just found this little number in my Vogue magazine, and it reminds me of a jacket I picked up not long ago. It’s my mission this week to finish up-cycling that!

I have an obsession with velvet recently, and rightly so. Christmas number 1 trend this season! (For me anyway)

Lots of velvet dresses and skirts in the shop, and now for the bespoke ones!

Hooked on you biscuits!

I spent yesterday at Cowbridge Craft Fair (dying of flu) and while having a stroll through Helen’s stall of Jamie Oliver at home Christmas collection I found the most amazing set of Christmas cookie cutters... oh my god.

I just love them! Perfect for the holidays, cookies on your mug! I just think they’re so cute. The pack contains a collection of angel wing shapes, hearts, stars, birds and baubles! Only available from your Jamie at Home representative.

I will be picking mine up in October to make some epic mugs of hot chocolate!

oh dear!

I keep forgetting how much I actually have to do! Time to get a diary - Onward and upwards!

I love Happy Days when they get things like this in! Luuuussshhh

DIY Bouquet

So the wedding shoot is coming up and a wedding isn't a wedding without a veil and bouquet, and in true E&W style, there's nothing like a bit of D.I.Y

I wanted to match the bouquet in with the wedding dress, not only in color scheme but with the whole vintage look, so I chose to do an entire bouquet made from broken jewelry, vintage buttons, paper flowers and of course with some vintage crochet lace.

I’m still waiting on the headpiece base to fix the rest of my bits on to…Lets hope the weather picks up for Wednesday mind, or she’s going to be a wet bride!

Maybe I should actually start on the dress mind.
