DIY Wedding

First Attempt @ Invites :-(

Hi Ladies.... so I'm feeling a little disheartened (hence the long gap since my last post), as I had my first attempt at designing and assembling my invites and though the first one assembled together easily, all further attempts have proven tricky!

I couldn't get the brooches to stick down properly on top of the feathers, and when I did get them to stick, the feathers were sticking out awkwardly, so I think I will need to play about with the layout a bit or come up with an alternative, but the first one was so nice I would really like to keep that concept.

Also, we have decided to change the theme slightly and incorporate feathers into the wedding instead of a paisley print. I thought of all different ways that the feathers could be incorporated but, teal feathers seem to be non-existent, unless you buy a feather boa or fascinator! Does anyone know any websites I could try?

Actually anything teal is a job finding, so I don't know...I told FH that we may need to make teal an accent colour, but we both really love the colour so I would really love to keep it included in as many ways as possible!

So thus far DIY projects are not coming along very well, but I'm trying to stay positive and will have a few more attempts with the invites, and if i manage a few outstanding attempts I will load some pictures. In the meantime if you have any tips on glueing embellishments onto invites, please let me know?!

Thanx :-)
