Just some pretty pictures I've collected for fircone inspiration
Lots of things to do with the 2500 fircones we now have!

Signs
Matt, as a sign writer, should be all over this...but I think the last thing he wants to think about for his own wedding is his job!
So, I thought I'd give you a flavour of some of the signage we'll be using on the day- some DIY as per the rest of the blog, but some shop purchases too!
These are a couple of bargains I got in the Cox and Cox sale www.coxandcox.co.uk which we can use to guide people to the house...they are really high quality, metal signs for a fiver!
On the DIY front, we had a lot of spare pieces of wood and MDF at home from where we removed a kitchen cupboard to put the dishwasher in!
Matt cut the MDF and I painted with a pot of blackboard paint I found in my Dad's shed! We can use these for welcome signs- I used them for our Will & Kate street party- so the next one will be ours!

Stationery
This one is all Matt again...designed at home in our office, these are just some of the bits of stationery Matt has designed- the menu and the invite. We also have the order of service and lots of other bits and pieces that we are going to have printed. It's a handy skill that Matt has!
Easy Table Plan
It's just a mirror we had up in our old house (haven't got round to hanging it in the new house!) and I've drawn out the table plan using a white liquid chalk pen- which you can just wipe off with a tissue. We're just going to stand it on an easel outside the marquee...
If you are coming this is just the draft table plan! ;-)

Fircone Pomander
I made these using a Pomander Oasis, stubb wire and fircones-simply wind the wire round the fircone and stick it into the Pomander
To have a ribbon round it, the ribbon needs to be wrapped around the Oasis first of all (I discovered this the hard way!)
I'm hoping to hang these over doors or maybe on the ends of the pews in the church
Save The Date Magnets
This one isn't my DIY one! Matt designed these and made them-I just think they look fab!
I'm just writing the envelopes for them, so you'll be receiving yours soon if you're on the list!
