DIY Grey and Lemon

Just for Beckie 

Lemon and grey was one of the many colour schemes I had in my mind whilst planning the wedding, however the venue to me was more of a warm colour scheme, so the pink became the theme. 
Doesn't mean to say the lemon has left the mind. Its such a fresh and delicate scheme and would look beautiful with white chairs and lemon roses, dove grey ribbon the napkins and lemon bon-bons for favours -although I still stand by my thoughts that favours are a waste of time and a donation to charity is much better :-) 

Think how pretty lemon macaroons would look too!! you could even make your own, heres a really cool recipe with popping candy

DIY Cream and Floral Table Plan

Goodies arrived this morning so I've been experimenting with some cream, floral and dusky pink table plan headings for Julia. 

These have been done using the paper that has been used on the invites so should tie everything all in 

DIY Cream Table Plan

Another close friend has asked if I can put together a table plan for her. 
This is what she wants

•  Neutral colours, such as cream and white
• Vintage
• Silver touches
• Framed 

I have sourced an initial frame for brainstorming with. In Dunelm Mill I found this pretty cream frame and thought it would be a good starting point

In a local art shop I then came across some silver paper, I then began playing around with them and this is what I've come up with so far. I'll do a step by step when its all done, so keep checking the blog ;-)

DIY Sweetie Counter

As I have a very sweet tooth I think a sweetie table is essential. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on hiring a cart so I was a bit stumped.....

Then whilst wondering around a random little second hand shop nearby I found glass bon-bon jars. I fell in love with them, they are so pretty and elegant. They match the theme so well and are hopefully going to look stunning!

Im so excited, I've been backwards and forwards and now have a collection of five that are going to sit on a table in the entrance hall for people to help themselves too. 

They also less than £6 each. So go hunting, you never know what you may find
