how did you
prioritise each
project?
what was your
favourite project to
work on?
It was just a matter of keeping
it all in perspective by making
sure I didn’t get too attached to
the superficial stuff. I told myself
very early on that even if the
dresses didn’t work, the cake was
a flop and the flowers all died, I
would still be there marrying my
best friend.
If I had to choose it would be
the things I got to do with other
people - making the invitations
with my daughter, finishing the
piped lace on the cake while my
sister cooked dinner for us, and
arranging the flowers the night
before with my sisters, best
friends and a bottle of wine.
how did you include
friends and family?
anything you
would have done
differently?
My daughter, Amy patiently
made 50 origami hearts and
my sisters made lace pom pom
decorations. Hayden hunted the
op-shops for the wishing well
suitcase, made the ‘H+B’ letters
for a backdrop and my son Joel
painted them.
Allowed more spare time for the
unexpected, last minute things
as there were a few surprises like my dress not fitting!
