Rustic shabby chic wedding stationery with brown card, lace doilies and luggage tags
Some of my favourite emails are from you lovely readers, sending me pictures of your wedding stationery that has been inspired by my own wedding invitations or save the dates. Today I get to share with you Hollie’s wedding stationery, which was also inspired by ours, with a few tweaks and her own stamp on it. She combined our two ideas, turning her wedding invitations into a larger version of our sealed save the dates. I love this idea, I can imagine it would be lovely to receive one of these in the post and to unfold it. Hollie also …

Make your own natural spring wreath by finding inspiration in the hedgerows
Regular readers will know that on Sunday it was the TNWC 5th birthday party, which was held at my house with 11 lovely guests – all readers of the website and blog. I made a number of items for the party, which I hope to share with you, but to start with I wanted to share this natural hedgerow wreath I created.

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 …

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 …
