I have lots of friends that seem to be getting married at the moment and I am loving a lot of what I am seeing. People are going the home made look! It might be more about saving money but why should a wedding cost the earth? I know that often people have friends of the family have can give a "perfect" product at a reduced price and that's not what I am talking about. What I love is do it yourself with REAL lumps and bumps!
It's like for our street party we could have bought expensive beautiful multicolor bunting that was perfectly strung from light post to light post, but instead we had hand made bunting with different types of fabrics that didn't quite cover the street, but it made our street feel so cared for. It was beautiful and unique!
I don't mean cheaply making something look expensive I mean just embracing our own artictic ways and make things.
Our society has made us think that everything has to be perfect but that isn't real!! And I think it makes us lose the value of things. Everything is so dispensable.
My kids are a bit poorly today so I am making them homemade bread and soup. You can easily and cheaply buy both of these but the home made version has love mixed in and I think that makes it extra special!
