Wedding crafts for Romania

This past week we were away in Hunedoara, Romania to photograph a friends wedding. It was a brilliant week- a beautiful combination of  Romanian and Australian culture and full of displays of astounding generosity. I'm really looking forward to editing the photos, and soon you will be able to find them on our website and facebook page.

But today I wanted to show you a couple of things I made for the wedding, things that were very simple but felt quite genius (if I do say so myself). The flower crown above was made with wire, strips of an old silk scarf, pearl beads, a cheap hairband with flowers, gold thread and a cream ribbon. It suited the bride perfectly and cost £1.50.

Below is a wedding cake topper that Rosie (the bride) and I made together. She knew exactly what she wanted and it was my job to figure out a cheap way of making it. This is made from two 50p wooden spatulas from wilkinsons, two kebab sticks, some twine and material. The groom handily had a jigsaw so he cut the spatulas into the bird shapes, we then did some pyrography of 'We Do' and used a glue gun to attach the sticks and twine. So simple yet successful and only cost about £2.

I feel like I'm a little out of touch with the world recently. I'd love your comments/human connections- tell me your extravagant dream wedding cake flavour?
