#150 Favour Bags

I did consider making these newspaper gift bags (Mr N & I met in a newsagents) using this tutorial from the fabulous How About Orange, cute & you're recycling too!
There are so many fantastic choices for favour boxes & bags. It's worth taking the time to find one that fits the feel of your wedding, as well as your budget, perfectly.
There are also a lot of gorgeous & simple diy options if there's a little room on your to do list?

Given my fondness for a rustic theme, the inclusion of jute bags is hardly suprising?

Calico is such a simple, pretty & versitile medium, especially for diy-ers...

I love the look of craft paper bags, especially when a little creative quirk is added.

The paper bags with the printed menu & the peg are my favourites, great concept & so effective!

#143 Bridesmaid Clutches

Yesterday I featured a clutch from EllenVintage, looking at her creations got me thinking about the trend of giving clutches as bridesmaid gifts so I thought now would be a good a time as any to feature a few options for either gifts or for the bride herself.

Here's a slightly different version of yesterdays clutch, as well as more 'something blue' & a of more traditional option...
  
  

My favourites, also from EllenVintage. Check it out... doily design bag!!! LOVE.

 

One from mermaids dream & three from joanyg

   

And quite a 'few' picks from Bagitarian...

                

My close second in the favourite stakes, also from Bagitarian, the 'Love Letters in the Sand' series...

    

Do you have a favorite?

#142 Accessory Pairing

This Vintage 1950's 'Deep in my Heart' fascinator from 13bees is just gorgeous.
It looks so incredibly elegant & striking, even though it's quite large I think that the repetition in the layered ivory felt design coupled with the fact that it is a single medium, without glitz & the like, would make for a surprisingly understated look.

 


This clutch from ellenVintage would be a gorgeous match. Continuing the feathered look without taking it too far, plus there's your something blue!
