DIY Bon-bon hearts

I found this really fabulous DIY project on the marthastewart.com (where else?) She has the most amazing projects!  This one is really great if your guests will be waiting in the garden while you have your photos taken.  You can hang these gorgeous bon-bon  hears on trees all over the place and fill them with snacky things.  These ones have been filled with coated candy, but chips and nuts will also make great fillers.

Here’s something I got for all the guys in the bridal party and they were so well received!

They come in….

Groom- Groomsman - Best man - Father of the bride - Father of the groom  and they are presented in a beautiful stylish mini top hat.  I thought this was a fabulous idea for presents as it was something used on the day instead of being put away in the cupboard.

Wedding favours

I like the idea of using a CD with all the songs played at the wedding as a wedding favour.

What I want to know is do they use a professional DJ to do it or can you do it yourself?

It is quite a  nice thing to give out to your guests and they will never forget your wedding, as long as you play nice music.


DIY beaded bookmark favours

When I was doing my wedding favours, I wanted bookmarks, and came across this really beautiful bookmark project which you can make yourself and personalise for your wedding favours.

Candy Table

Im doubling my Liquorice Ice theme decor with the wedding favours, which Im making myself with my two best friends and bridesmaids.  I want a candy bar for my wedding and was thinking of having different coloured liquorice in various sized jars.

I have never been to a wedding with a candy table or candy buffet, but I’ve read about during on of my many all-day sessions behind my mac.  Instead of favours, you give the guests little bags so that they can fill them with what ever sweeties they want.  I think this is a great idea, and the candy buffet looks so good, as part of the decor.
