Our wedding stationery inspired this reader to create her own handmade invitations
One of my lovely readers, Eulyn, got in touch to share her wedding invitations with me after being inspired by the wedding stationery we made for our wedding. I can’t tell you how lovely it is to get emails and pictures like this, knowing that something you did inspired someone else – and a photo of another couples hard work. If you’ve been inspired by the ‘save the dates’ or stationery that we created for our wedding, do send me an email – I’d love to hear from you and attach a couple of pictures so I can see (and …

Woodland inspired luggage tag ‘save the dates’
Today it’s more handmade loveliness from a lovely bride-to-be and another fab idea for creating ‘save the dates’. These ‘save the date’ luggage tags were made by Tara and her husband-to-be Ben who run a vintage restoration business called Elegantly Wasted Vintage. They are getting married in December and are going for a woodland Edwardian feel for their wedding. Tara was happy to share the details of how she made them and where she got her supplies… The ‘save the dates’ were easy to make – although all the furious typing on the old typewriter gave me very sore wrists …

A sweet, homemade animated ‘save the date’ and how you can make your own
I have something very special, fun and inspiring to share with you all this afternoon – a homemade animated ‘save the date’! This was sent to me by the lovely Beth who is getting married to Ben this coming July 2012. She described it as a country-wedding inspired, budget ‘save the date’ – why don’t you watch it for yourself… How fun is that? And it’s accompanied by a song (Crystal Fighters Plage) that seems to perfectly fit the style, and it’s short but sweet – I would be pretty excited if I was a wedding guest and this landed …

The joys of having a photographer husband-to-be! If you’re the lovely Lisa, one of my blog readers, it means you can make pretty wedding details and get great pictures of them – which in turn means lovely photos to share with you all. Lisa was inspired by my own rustic ‘save the dates’ and got in touch to share hers – I think they are so beautiful and they incorporate a really neat extra that Lisa found on this blog whilst searching for inspiration – a twine knot. So Lisa combined two ideas – the brown folded card ‘save the …

Original fabric ‘save the date’ idea with personalised ribbon hanger
Today we have more fab ideas for wedding projects shared by one of my readers, Gemma, who writes Blossom Bells. Gemma created these sweet ‘save the dates’ inspired by a tutorial she saw in the July issue of Sew Hip magazine, written by Lilipopo. Gemma, who is currently planning her wedding, decided to make these hanging fabric ‘save the dates’ from linen and a pretty back (that you can’t see) from organic cotton from the Cloud9 range. You can also buy organic fabrics from Organic Cotton. Gemma designed a heart and bird shape, but also did a bat because both her …

Our rustic country wedding – ice cream in the church yard
It is terrible to toot your own trumpet, but this is one of the ideas that we had for our wedding that I was so pleased with. Nick and I love our food and love supporting local producers, so we always knew this was going to be woven throughout our wedding. There were moments we worried we might be overfeeding people! We have a wonderful local farm to where we live in Cheshire that makes its own ice cream – we practically live off the stuff. Somehow we wanted to incorporate this into our wedding day, and the only place …

Pretty vintage inspired save the date magnets
It is so wonderful being allowed to share other handmade wedding projects from my readers. Today’s exquisitely created ’save the dates’ are made a Creative Designer, so those of us looking at them thinking ‘I wish I could be that creative on the computer’ – this lady is skilled and talented and it’s what she does for a living. Jess, the bride-to-be, used a badge maker to create the front of the magnets, and attached a magnet to the back. I love this idea that your family and friends can stick it onto their fridge at home to remind them. On …
