tell us about your
wedding vision.
Our theme evolved as I found
one thing after another that I
loved and simply found a way
to make them work together.
I guess my starting point was
my beautiful lace dress and the
seafoam blue fabric for the girls’
dresses. The venue had gorgeous
décor and stunning ocean views,
so the only reception decoration
we added was fresh flowers.
how did you choose
your projects?
I did different things for
different reasons - some were
cheaper (some really weren’t!),
some I had trouble finding off
the shelf the way I wanted, but
mainly just because I enjoy
doing all those things.

My favourite
projects were
the things I
got to do with
other people.
Benita’s projects:
welcome sign
Made from an old painting
I bought at an op-shop. My
awesome sister did all of the
writing at the last minute!
wedding cake
Chocolate chilli mud cake with
a good lacing of rum.
flowers
Bouquets, corsages, ceremony
and reception arrangements.
outfits
I designed and made flower girl
dresses and ties for the little
boys.
papercraft
Invitations, order of service
cards, place settings, table
numbers and cake boxes.
wishing well
I decoupaged a suitcase with
vintage postcards from all the
places we were visiting on our
honeymoon.
