Hello girls Just wondered what you've all done yourself, hopefully it will be of some inspiration to those of us on an uber tight budget! I've made my own bouquets, buttonholes, corsages, pomanders and church flowers. Used silk green orchids, spent around £70 tops for materials Designed my own invitations, reply cards, hen night invites and order of service I used vistaprint to print them and added the ribbons myself Made my own birdcage veil and feather flower fascinator. I had bought one but I'd wrapped it up to tight and the feathers were ruined. Cost less than £15! got all the materials from ebay Made some place card holders from modelling clay, wire and mini clothes pegs for photos as centre pieces and I think I'm chuffed the most about these they're really cute! one is an xbox control pad (h2b is a real xbox fiend!) and a drum as he's a drummer, a huge heart, a dice, a cupcake, a pear, an apple, 2 peas in a pod, a hedgehog, a snake, a love bird and a rose. I'm going to paint them tomorrow in our theme colours - brown and lime green. Again super cheap, modelling clay cost £2.60, the miniture clothes pegs were 99p for 50, the craft wire was 50p for 2m and the acrylic paint was 99p each all from ryman. I'll take some before and after photos tomorrow :\)
