Captain Melville‘s cocktail list is inspired by the 1850′s era, with cleverly named cocktails that draw on the history of the period. The pub itself is named after legendary bushranger, Captain Melville, who roamed the Victorian countryside in the era.
I love fun ways of asking the special ladies (and men!) in your life to be a part of your wedding day. These cards are sparkly and sweet but fun and easy to make to ask your favourite people to be there on your wedding day.
- Glitter in your choice of colours (super fine works best)
- Blank cards in your choice of colour
- Transfer paper
- Glue or Mod Podge
- A paint brush
- A pencil
1. Working on your computer (or if you are really confident, you can draw the text on yourself!) find a font you love and work with the sizing so it will fit the front of your cad. Print it out and using transfer paper underneath your printout, trace it onto your card.
2. Now comes the messy part! (You’ll need plenty of newspaper here!) Start painting the letters with mod podge. Tip: If you want a really clean line like we did here, find a craft glue with a really small nozzle tip and then “pipe” the words as you would pipe icing onto a cake.
3. Working fast, sprinkle your glitter so it covers the word completely. Then tap off onto a spare card or piece of paper (if you do this, you can funnel the glitter back into the bottle to save for the next word).
I worked doing one word at a time so I could keep up with the glue drying.
4. When done, tap off all glitter that hasn’t stuck to your mod podge and leave to dry. You could add decorative swirls, dots or other designs around the text using the same method.
There you have it! A simple, sparkly way to ask your bridesmaids to be there on your wedding day!
These pomtastic creations can be as elegant or as funky as you’d like! They can be any size- small to super large. Pom poms look great clumped together in groups or standing alone. Try a combination of different sizes and colors. Use them to add décor to your table settings or hang from the ceiling like chandeliers.
Materials:
1. Colorful tissue paper- use the same color, alternate shades of the same color or choose a patterned tissue paper
2. Scissors
3. Florist wire, twine or string
Step 1:
Layer 8 to 10 sheets of standard-sized tissue paper on a flat surface. Fold width wise making 1 1/2-inch-wide folds, creasing with each fold (like a fan!)
Step 2:
Bind the center of the tissue with florist wire (you can also use twine or string). Make sure to leave excess so that you can attach the two pom pom halves together.
Step 3:
Use sharp scissors to cut both ends of the folded tissue paper. You can round the ends or cut them so they are pointed.
Step 4:
Gently separate layers, pulling away from the center one at a time to form a sphere.
Step 5:
Attach the two pom pom halves together to form one sphere.
TA-DA!

This script has an interesting story. The word ‘piel’ is Spanish for ‘skin’ and indeed Piel Script was designed in response to requests for a stylish script to tattoo on skin to commemorate important events in a person’s life. Yet the curls and swirls make this stylish and ornate lettering perfect to commemorate your wedding day in paper form. I love this, as above, on thick creamy cotton paper with a tea stained background to add to the vintage feel of your stationery suite.
Piel Script is available from My Fonts.
