Honeymoon
Gooood-morning Vietnam...
We are soooooo looking forward to the 5 weeks off we're taking for the Wedding in Bali and Honeymoon to Vietnam and Cambodia. We plan to travel North to South along the coast in Vietnam and then travel to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It's just what we need after throwing ourselves into Wedding planning for the past year. 30 days to go...

DIY Wedding
The boys Bouttonieres are finished...
Yesterday I finished off the boys Bouttonieres. I just love them! I ended up making them from some leaf skeletons, latte coloured Ostrich feathers, a spotty feather, a drinking straw wrapped in green and black ribbon, a silver flower (from an old brooch I had), a brooch backing, some green beads and to top it all off a clock hand charm from the charms I had ordered from My Vintage Charms ( to keep with our theme). Another DIY item to check off the list. Tick...
UPDATE: I bought: the feathers, ribbon, brooch backing and skeleton leaves from the local craft store, and the charms from myvintagecharms.com. I had the beads and silver flower from some old jewellery I had. |

My DIY strings of beads and pearls for my DIY wishing tree...
So yesterday it was finishing off the Bouttonieres, and today it was the DIY strings of pearls and beads to hang from my DIY wishing tree/ guestbook tree. I've made 22 strings in total, all differing in composition of beads/pearls and slightly different lengths. I used fishing line to thread the beads/pearls onto and used charms to hang from the bottom of the lengths. I love that all 22 of them are different. Now for the tree, but I'll have to source that one in Bali when I arrive there before the wedding. Thank goodness I have 10 days in Bali before the wedding to get it done...

Groomsmen Gift
A pocket watch...
We decided to get our Bestman (FH's brother) a Pocket watch (Fob watch) for his gift. We picked it out today. It's gorgeous! It flips open to show the watch face, but the back also opens to show the back of the watch and all the inside mechanisms moving and working. It's pretty cool! Can't wait to see his face when he opens it...

Wishing / Guest book tree...
I love this idea! I am going to copy it for my wedding. I will make some strings of glass beads and small paper tags for people to write their messages on, and I've bought cute little tiny pegs to hang them on the tree. Now just for the actual bits of branch and twig, but this I'll have to source in Bali as it will be too hard to transport it over there...

Wedding Music And Songs
Dance lessons...
My FH is quite a good dancer, and wants us to take a couple of dance lessons before the big day to learn a dance for our first dance. He wants to do something different than just kinda shuffle around looking awkward. In fact, he wants to dance the Cha Cha to Sway by Rosemary Clooney. My only problem with this is that I know I'm a terrible dancer! And I've told him this, but I don't think he knows just how terrible I actually am at dancing. Anyway, he's so excited about the lessons I just can't let him down, so I'll have to go and let him discover just how awful I am at it. Well, at least it will be a laugh!...

Where do you get your Wedding inspiration...
I thought I'd share with you some websites and blogs that have given me so much inspiration in the planning of my wedding. I love seeing what other people have done/are doing with their weddings, and adapting ideas I love into my own wedding. Please share your list of sites that offer you inspiration, and in the mean time please enjoy mine...

Apothecary Glass Candy Jars...
We recently received our beautiful Apothecary Glass Candy Jars via courier across the country from Melbourne the other day. Unfortunately one of the taller jars had broken in transit, so a replacement is on the way. However we just couldn't wait to start buying all the candy to fill them. So today we bought some sugared almonds in blue (traditional), green and white for one jar, and some licorice allsorts for the other. We have ordered some multi-coloured conversation heart candies for the other jar when it arrives, with cute sayings like 'be mine', i love u' 'forever'. I think the colourful jars with look great as our candy bar, and the small glass jar in the foreground of the picture is our bonbonierie (favors) for our guests. Our guests can help themselves to the candy bar and fill their jars to take home...
