Wedding Inspiration

A old friend of mine is getting married at the weekend (good luck Sam, hope its sunny!), and this morning i've been working on my wedding gift for her and her hubby to be...  I'll show you a few sneeky peeks at at what i've been up to in a moment.

First of all though i'd like to share with you a few weddingy pretties from some very talented crafts people, just incase you're after some inspiration for your big day...

The first is a stunning wedding cake from Rachelle's, in London

'Pearl Whirl'
Isn't it gorgeous! I think it would also make a fab birthday cake - if you were having a really big party!

And how about this Pine Tree Engagement Set in 9ct Rose and white gold by ashhilton on etsy - i don't have any plans to get married but i'd almost re-consider JUST for these rings!!
Bouquet time! (i wonder who will catch it at Sam's wedding... i'll have to remember to ask her :) )

This pretty bunch of blooms is from Style Me Pretty - a great place to go for inspiration on all things wedding from shoes, to vows, to bridesmaids dresses...


Okay, i hope this isn't too much of an anticlimax after all that...!

Here are a couple of tantalising slithers of  my cushion (incase Sam is reading this i don't want to spoil the surprise too much!)




And here endeth my very first Handmade Monday :)

If you fancy finding out what the rest of the crew has been up to (including Wendy's rather fabulous X-rated make!) then pop over to 1st Unique Gifts.
