Return to DIY flowers

Our flower quote came through yesterday and HTB almost died. I am going back to the idea of DIY flowers. I know it is more work but I think it will be great to DIY them. We did a trial run yesterday and it's actually easier than I had expected. Need to do a little bit more research and a few trial runs to make sure I am happy with the results! I just wish peonies were in season.

Ripponlea Estate

Yesterday we attended our friends wedding atRipponlea Estate. I have to say it was such a great day and an amazing venue. Even though it was raining the beautiful gardens and the amazing mansion were stunning. The catering by Peter Rowland was also a highlight. I had to buy a new pair of Tony Bianco shoes for the occasion although silver satin shoes and rain don't go too well!

DIY wedding bouquet

So I have been doing some research and I am seriously considering making my own wedding bouquet. It is not so much the cost of having one made it is more the fact that this way I can make it exactly the way I want! Our wedding is going to be a little bit rustic so I figure if some of the flowers are a bit 'wonky' it won't be such a bad thing. I came across this post on DesignSponge - (great blog!) which has really inspired me. The only thing will be making sure I have time the day before and making sure it won't stress me out!!
