What the world needs now…is love, sweet love


I’ve been really busy lately, but unfortunately I haven’t been busy in the kitchen. I’ve been busy running around planning a wedding. So I thought that even though this is a food blog you might like to see some of my thought behind my upcoming June wedding.

I know that this isn’t necessarily a key element of the day, but a lot of thought goes into the bomboniere! I’ve thought that I would like to make it myself – something editable, but the thought of making 300 little something, somethings was a little bit daunting.

Along the way I found some really, really cute things – but I guess it all comes down to budget. Weddings are EXPENSIVE. I read the other day that the average Australian wedding costs $48 000. I’d like to keep the wedding under this figure, but it could be so easily blown out of the water by ordering some of these exceptionally cute things for bomboniere.

Check out these little ‘Love is Sweet’ honey gift sets from Dazzling Expressions on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/87091153/set-of-100-love-is-sweet-personalized

Or what about these love heart measuring spoons from Pink Frosting: http://www.pinkfrosting.com.au/shop/item/love-beyond-measure-heart-measuring-spoons---set-of-4
 


Or what about this ‘A Slice of Love’ pizza cutter from New and Blue: http://www.newandblue.com/proddetail.php?prod=13015NA
 

I tell you know, bombonieres have sure come along way since my parents era of sugar coated almonds (ok Mum, so stop suggesting them).
