Since it's quite a cavernous space (it used to be a church, so the roof is more than double volume), I felt we needed something to make the space more cosy and intimate.<br/></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First was the giant poms, the tutorials of which I've posted before. I've also made doily garlands and started on some paper rosettes today, inspired by </span><a href="http://rebeccathuss.com/portfolio_detail.php?page=recent&ctr=2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rebecca Thuss</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been busy the past 2 weeks of my holiday making a lot of this.</span><br />

I used glass paint from Eckersley's.

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And last but not least, my wedding jacket! This was one of those weird decisions where I find myself um-ing and ah-ing for months, then suddenly decide to do something and get straight to it. Even the night before making this, I was contemplating a soft cream cardigan to keep me warm. A fur stole or bolero was also an option, but Naman and I aren't too keen on it (even the faux variety) and I don't think it would have fit in as well as a jacket. The funny thing is I'd starting making this before I'd even met him! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It started as a tiny little waistcoat from the <a href="http://www.tessuti-shop.com/products/stylish-dress-book-3">Stylish Dress Book 2</a> with silk ruffles made from leftover fabric from my Year 12 Textiles major work. I added some off-white silk charmeuse and chiffon (offcuts from my wedding dress), old tulle, lace that belonged to my great-grandmother and a few pearl beads. I love that all these bits have a bit of a story attached to them. I simply added sleeves (from another pattern in the same book) and a lining. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The back is white silk charmeuse overlayed with lace; the same as we used for the bodice of my dress. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I'm thinking of adding some more ruffles all around the edge as well as a bigger ruffle along the bottom as t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he front is actually quite small. And I still need to hand stitch the lining in place at the armholes :(</span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', fantasy;">I love the classy vibe of this place even though we haven't actually been there yet. The wooden floors and exposed brick walls would make it seem really cosy in winter (and we may be able to do something with draping on the ceilings to make it even more intimate). So far the Mosman Council website has been very informative and upfront about venue hire and optional extra costs. The best thing is that we can provide our own catering, do our own decorating and the hire cost is charged at an hourly rate. We'll be having a look next weekend, so fingers crossed it all works out as this has been one of the few places we've both immediately agreed upon.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', fantasy;">A friend of mine recommended St Anne's Ryde (even though she wants to have her own wedding there one day!) as it is a beautiful old church with a newly built function centre. I checked it out last weekend with my mom and Phoenix (who set the alarm off accidently) and we really liked the look of the church. The lady who came to check up on us after the alarm incident said the centre has become popular for tea after the ceremony and there have been a few receptions there too, so I think it definitely has potential. Photos on the site show a well-equipped, modern commercial kitchen so catering wouldn't be a problem. Plus we'd save transport costs by not having to travel between the ceremony and reception venues.</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', -webkit-fantasy;"><br />

It's really not bad but walking in up the ramp you can see out over the backs of apartment blocks. The ramp is a bonus though as we may have a few grandparents attending.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', fantasy;">Dating back to 1783, this house is Australia's oldest European dwelling. I actually can't believe they let people use it as a function venue. The only problem is that the dining/drawing room and colonial kitchen each have a seated capacity of only 40. And there's a set caterer. Well, I can always dream. I think this would be such a pretty venue and really tie in with our vintage theme.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's cheaper than fresh flowers, can be organised days or months before the wedding, and then reused for other occasions afterwards.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div>Here's a few of my favourite DIY fresh-flower-alternative paper projects with links to tutorials for each.</div><div><br />
