Bonboneirie Re-think!

I've decided to go with a theme, and the theme is cameos + green and white.

I had a new idea for the favours, bought out the Lindt chocolate bar supply at the local Priceline and got to work!

I bought multiple boxes of the above. Checkout Guy seemed confused.

Unwrapping chocolate bars- very, very carefully!
It was quite difficult to find foiled chocolates- apparently due to tampering everything must now be in Plastic!

Ta da!

What a relief, I will not have to consider baking cookies in the days leading up to the big day.

Next step... new wedding cake + new place settings!
(ahhah, I am crafting and making mess like a maniac right now)

Wedding Update - Place Cards

Well into the productive DIY Swing that has consumed my weekend, I decided last night that I wanted to get my place settings done. I don't really have a theme (my Save the dates would suggest some sort of brown paper cutesy Vintage, my Invitations would suggest a green and white Stripe thing)

Anyways I've taken a risk and gone very crafty... I've started making individual faces + settings for all of our guests. The catch... it's mixed up fabric hearts- almost babyish in nature? I figure they will sit flat on the plates.... I think. I sat up until 4:30AM cutting, pasting, painting, sticking. I'm 50% of the way there, provided I don't change my mind. Classy and sterile, this wedding will be not!

Working it all out....

What I came up with..

Some of the individual places.

Bride & Groom. Yet to be decided upon how I do these...

Wedding Update - Favours

I have been contemplating a few different ideas for the wedding Favours (or more excitingly - the Wedding BonBoneirie!) The DIY bug has well and truly taken over!


I finally got around to doing a test of what I was thinking... N + J Gingerbread cookies. So yesterday I baked the morning away, and tested my idea.


Fortunately the cookies were delicious, unfortunately the icing was a bit sloppy, and as a result nowhere near as conscise as i would like the icing to be. That's a good thing for next time!?

Some minis.


By the time the icing had 'dried' (and after I'd been to see Animal Kingdom at the Como- what a heavy experience!) I tested out my packaging ideas. Thinking I will go with the Cellophane Bag below, and buy a whole bunch of different ribbons. I am obsessed with this Candy Stripe Nylon String right now, however I'm getting the impression it's lack of luxe-ness leaves everyone less than enthused when I seek opinion! I'll take that as a hint. haha.

My other idea was to make some packing, as below, and go crazy with different vintage fabrics to seal it up.

It's been a really cold weekend. No matter what I did I couldn't get enough light to take the photos properly! I've been so productive... but I wonder if it's like Im organising details for a kid's party rather than a wedding!

nom nom nom.
