Rachel's "Countries" wedding : Unpacking the elements

The wedding package: everything you need for one table setting.

Unpack it,

 

and with a little DIY and a good metal ruler and blade,

 

You can make packaging for your wedding favour,

and create a centrepiece on a (relatively) shoestring budget!

The idea was to put together something that Rachel could ship over to the States, unpack without too much caution, and assemble with the help of her ladies. Instead of glass, wood, and metal, there is paper in all its gorgeous different textures and opacities, to be made into anything.

The real wedding is in July, so I will have to wait till then to see photos of how it all turned out. Put a few blossoms around the lantern, fill a room with these, add wine glasses and happy people, (don't flash that camera!) and it should be a happy sight.

 

Lugging the elements around might have been a trial, but I do appreciate the DIY nature of this wedding project. Now to finish up another wedding invitation!
