Invites So Far:-
After much looking around We have decided to make our own invites partly due to cost but wanted Something that reflected us and was personal. Also I will have something to do. Like I dont habe enoght but thinking is if i start now then I will have plenty of time for all my art projects I keep dreaming up. Rather than leave it to a rush at the last few months.
The Design I really like are the handcrafted Layed cards you see in the shops.
I done alot of researh on the web found a great cards making supply place...........To see there webby Click Here

Here are a free Sketches of a rought design




I hope to build up the effect using shapes of paper and card in lilic and slivers, The roses will be paper with lilic ribbon bows,For the writting I found peel-offs which are stickers that have the effect of emossed writting when stuck to the card, I will also use this for the center double heart, We plan to print the inserts ourselfs and tie them to card with silver cord finished with a lilic bead on end!






Next Step:-
I am gonning to make a protatype of the card design to make sure the planed idea works. I'll post it here as soon as thats done

Decorations
Table Decoration Ideas so far:-
Due to the Cost we have Decided not to have flowers on the tables, Instead we will decorate the tables with voile table colthes with crystals in the corners in Purple and Silver, scattered with metalic heart conffetti
For the Center Pieces I will use this vases that I got in Ikea 90p each, I will decorate the Rimm with the same Silver hearts on the center on the invites, inside the vase i will have Purple candle with coloured Grave or stones mixed with metalic heart confetti
(Will update Picture as Get bits to make up center piece)
