Forgotten Flowers & Favours

Today I found a whole bunch of photos sitting in a folder that were intended for my blog, but instead have been gathering dust and feeling a little lost and forgotten. Therefore I thought it was about time I shared them with you! You may have seen some of my paper flowers - that I'm creating for my wedding - in a previous post, well I've now added a splash of colour to them. These are ones I finished off about a month back, last weekend I made around another hundred that are now waiting to be painted. 

We have also been thinking about favours. We wanted to give people a hot chocolate mix to take home with them, and are going to use a Jamie Oliver recipe, it's delicious, but unfortunately it looks a mess! Who new that after looking at all those flashy Pinterest images, that show you how to host the perfect party, that getting fine powder into a cellophane bag, would be so damn hard! The image above was our first disastrous attempt, and the images below, our slightly improved attempt. Our packaging experiments are leading us towards sending the powder down a funnel into the bag, to keep it as clean as we can, and popping the marshmallows and fudge pieces into a separate bag, so they can be removed easily without getting covered in choccy dust.
