My wedding bouquet

So here it is!!

My wedding bouquet!

 its taken me about 3 months to do. Obviously the daffodils are all knitted, and in the trumpets are, some with jewel flower pins. and some have 3 pronged pearl heads that i broke off of something else and used wire to tie them together and place them in the centre of the trumpets.

Did you spot the bumble bees?!

I also placed little white butterflies in several places over the bouquet. And used a length of yellow ribbon and weaved it in and out between the flowers.  

            I wanted the shape of my bouquet to resemble a shower bouquet, so i bought some fake ivy and other fake greenery from the wonderful Taverham Garden Centre. I was able to use these to help me mould the shape of the bouquet into exactly what i wanted. I also used some other sprigs with pretty jewels on them.


Im pretty proud of the finished article. I had attempted a few different things before deciding to stick with the original idea of knitting the daffodils.

So id love to hear what everyone thinks of it!!

Thanks for looking x

Wedding Bits!

My mum once told me that my nanny's dad (A florist and organist) used to hand make little bumble bee's to go on his bouquets. sadly the few that my nanny kept have been lost and damaged through the years.) But the idea of having them on my wedding bouquet was defiantly something I wanted!

As you know for months and months i have been knitting daffodils for this wedding bouquet, and having searched and searched for something that would resemble these bumble bee's of my great granddads and finding nothing at all! I decided to make what i had in mind myself.

So here they are!

little yellow pom poms with black thread and a smaller black pom pom make the body. The wings were harder. I used tiny bits of bendy wire stuff that i found up (id obviously kept them off of something thinking they would come in handy one day!) made them into a circle and used a mesh fabric for the wings, then curled the wire for the antenna, and of course googly eyes to finish.

The bouquet is actually nearly finished, so look out for my bee's when i post the final picture!

If you have seen one of my original posts, then you will have seen the start of my hand knitted daffodils that are going to be making up my wedding bouquet! I have scaled the same pattern down a few sizes and added some sparkly gems and a hair grip to make these!! These hair slides are going to be in my bridesmaids hair, which will tie in nicely with my bouquet and the pew ends in the church.

Thanks for visiting xx

These are my wedding shoes! They were not my first choice as i fell in love with an amazing pair, but sadly they were just too far out of my price range! I found this lovely pair on ebay but felt perhaps i could turn them into my dream pair,

Ta da, i bought the lace and tiny beads super cheap! The lace is actualy the same colour as the shoes although the picture shows it differently , Yellow is the colour theme of the wedding hense the yellow beads.

I have been playing about with ideas for wedding invites and this is what i have come up with so far.

The colour and theme is yellow and daffodils. The envolope inside i thought looked quite good although took ages to make!
