New Wedding Accessories

  Now, while I've been spending a lot of time planning for my own wedding, I've also been talking to other people in the same situation, and I know that a lot of people (myself included) are keen for their own personality to shine through, reflected in the accessories that they choose for their big day.  With many couples still scrimping and saving, it helps when these little touches can be hand made.  This makes them seem even more personal.  Here are some of my favourite ideas so far.

This music sheet bunting is simple to make, but very effective.  You could stain the paper with food colouring or teabags for an antiqued effect, or add ribbons to tie in with your colour scheme.

Another beautifully simple idea, is to collect pretty pebbles, and display them in a pretty glass jar, vase or bowl.  Guests can write their message onto the pebbles, instead of using a guest book.  This can then be kept as an ornament and sentimental keepsake in your home

For music lovers, this retro style vinyl record cake stand can be used to display cupcakes, sweets and other deserves, or even alcohol shots.  They can be bought for reasonable prices at many craft fairs, or if you're feeling crafty, you could whip up a few for yourself.
