Bonbonierre

Okay, it's been a while, but that does not mean that things have not been happening! School is a little hectic at the moment, and Chee has been out of action for a little while due to his thyriod operation.

Anyway, we have been thinking about having espresso cups as our bonbonierre. It all came about from me surfing Pink Frosting and coming across the Swish cups. Chee and I started over coffee after I had a particularly bad day with my year 10 class in my first year of teaching.

Well, I have been searching around for a slightly more cost effective version. (Sorry, but I can't justify spending close to $10 per person in total for bonbonierre). A couple of girls from the WWA forum suggested that I look at hospitality suppliers.

I came across this.

I think this is nice. I can also just buy the cup, and not have to buy the saucer, which might be a good idea, as I can't really see them together being easy to set up and take away from the reception. On to each cup I have seals similar to the one below to stick on.

Of course with our names and wedding date instead. Chee suggested we fill the cup with Jelly Belly. I think that is a good idea, I had a little look, and it is tricky to buy mixed 1kg bags, but slightly easier to buy 1kg of cappuccino flavoured Jelly Belly, which should do the trick.

Also, I have received the Milly Dress, but it is quite a bit too big, esspecially around the bust area. I will have to look and see if I can get it altered. If I can't, I'll just try and sell it on eBay.

Milly Bridal Pattern Dress

I have just gotten the pattern dress pictures of my Milly Bridal dress, made to my measurements. I was very happy with these pictures, so now they are making my dress to the pattern. Soon I will have the pictures of the beading sample, which I will post here too.

Milly Bridal

I have heard many good things about Milly Bridal http://www.millybridal.com/ . They are a Chinese dress manufacturer, and as you can see on their website, they make pretty good dresses.

I wanted to have a different dress at my reception, because my wedding ceremony dress is a bit boofy at the bottom and has a longish train. Anyway, I have decided to order a dress from Milly Bridal, and it is a replica dress to the one in the picture. I don't mind if it isn't quite as floaty as the original or have exactly the same sort of beading, but the idea has to be very similar. I am going to get the dress done in ivory.

I will post pictures of how it is coming along as soon as I get them.
