WIne Bottles

So I finally got my arse into gear & worked out how I was going ask my girls to be bridesmaids at our wedding...but with a little twist.

Because we're getting married at a winery, I thought it'd be a cute idea to tie in the "asking of the bridesmaids" in with the winery theme. So after doing many hours of research, I came up with an idea of asking them via a bottle of wine. Firstly I was thinking about getting their favourite bottle of wine engraved with the details on it, but in the hunt for finding a shop that did this, I stumbled across this brilliant website called Brewtopia. On here I found that I could design my own wine/beer/water bottle label for whatever occasion you wanted.

So I found a fun photo of all 3 of my girls & I to add to their personal wine bottle & put my crappy crafts hat on & got designing.

Here is a photo of the finished product. (Click to enlarge) Pretty snazzy if I have to say so myself :). Although the bridesmaids weren't really "surprised" that I asked them, it was still a nice little touch to the occasion.

Cake Magazines


We've resorted to trawling through magazines for ideas for cakes.

We're looking for something a little bit different - not your traditional fruit cake.
