8 Weeks and counting...More Decor

So, have those little nagging things to finish off, and today I 'had at them' so to speak.

So this is not that exciting but again, all stuff made by me is time consuming and stressful - you feel like you want it to be perfect. Inperticular for myself, imagining those 'judging' guest looking on going 'doesn't she have a degree in some sort of Art/Graphics? What shoddy and untidy workmanship - and at her own wedding too!'

The reality is that people will be judging on the day of the wedding, it is in peoples nature, however probably not about the fact that my sticking and gluing does not meet my own ridiculously high standards. More likely they will judge the dresses/shoes/suits on me/bridesmaids/other guests...looking for typical mistakes like dressing too young or in clothes to small or tent-like.

Extra stress I'm currently palpitating about is that the day before the wedding I'll have to leave it all of my labours in the trust of total strangers. All these signs/decorations/bunting/post boxes that I've spent hours and days and weeks designing and making and changing, storing carefully, keeping dust off and such and I'll just be handing them over to someone else with instructions on how to place them. Not that I'm a control freak *deep breath!* Ha ha. Just now I know how I want them.

Anyhoo...spent the day making a multitude of accessories and such for the wedding reception.

Table games signs:

Little easels I got nice and cheap at 99p each :D

They stand up too! lol.

Designed and printed off some labels

Sponged on some purple paint, added sign (cut to size and decorative cut at base) and added a few buttons 

Finally add some purple ribbon and stand up on its easel :D

Post Box:

Bought a pre-made cardboard birdcage post box - widely available at art/craft shops and anywhere that sells wedding-y stuff, I got this one from 'The Range' - a bargain at just £6.99

Just got it outta the box, nice and flat!

Added some buttons to personalize it!

And built it up!!

Had a couple of paper flowers left so added a few

And finally close the top and tie with ribbon (White ribbon was provided in the kit but I added purple too!)

Table Seating Sign:

Printed off the tables

Top table

Cut to shape like a 'gift tag' to tie in with the rest of the themed items I've made using the tags - added string too!

Glue-gunned on a few buttons

Set in place and framed ready to be stood up on entrance to the reception

And a reminder of the first sign I made a while back, got matching frames for them and same purple/button/string/gift tag theme - the one on the left is for the ceremony!

And finally

I had an extra easel and canvas so I made a little sign for the post-box, again purple, ribbon, buttons all to tie in

Now I just have to hold my breath and hope it all looks ok and goes together on the day!

Nerves are kicking in
