With lock down remaining in place it seems we’ve got a little more time to try out things we wouldn’t normally do and baking seems to be a popular one especially if you have children (read my baking with children blog post).

It was always going to happen that any child of mine would inevitably end up in the kitchen a large percentage of the time. Three years down the line this is absolutely true.

This year we celebrate 5 years of marriage but it only seems like yesterday…
I of course remember fondly the day and the special memories created but i also still remember the feeling of being completely out of control of what to tackle first when i started planning.

Of course I wanted to create all my own stationery and bake my own wedding cake, not only for the cost saving but because its our day and I wanted to.
Today as I look through our wedding album I realise how special it was to us as a couple and how fortunate i was to be able to do so much myself, so in this post I share this experience with all those brides to be as reassurance its possible to have a DIY wedding (even if your not a designer like me) to have all you want and come out of it semi-sane, happy and proud of what you have created…

I am always looking for ways to add a personal touch to any event and like many of the things i end up designing, the original request is a personal one. Weather i have an event to attend and want to take a gift or i simply want something for my own home.
