some experimental decorating in the barn

I met the florist in the barn where the reception will be held. I took along some of my jars and bunting and she brought some sample flowers. I think it will look excellent when the whole thing is decorated

Treasure hunt and challenges

I have made a board of origami instructions for people who are that way inclined, and stuck my practice hearts and flowers to the board to decorate it. Also I have printed off my treasure hunt and challenges information sheet. I printed the instructions onto paper that I had stained with tea bags to give it 'ye olde pirate treasure hunt' look!

Completed treasure chest

Now complete with red lining and golden treasure!

More pin the pony tail

I decided to add another layer of more colourful paint. Quite pleased with how it looks

More silly games

I hope people will get into the spirit of this one rather than being boring. It's for the new fabulous game of 'pin the pony tail on the bride groom'. With a long haired fiancé what bride could resist having this game at her wedding! Not sure whether to colour in the picture or leave it like this. I quite like how it looks here. The first picture is my practice sketch and the second one is the full size painting

Sweets for the favours

My favourite sweets at the moment happen to fit the colour scheme so they're going to be in the favours. They're surprisingly difficult to come by in the shops so I bought a large packet on the internet

Origami hearts and flowers

I'm planning to set up some games and challenges for people to entertain themselves with at the wedding if they want. One idea is to put some origami things out. I had a go at making some to find some good instructions. The hearts are quite easy but roses were tricky!
