DIY List

I've decided to DIY lots of wedding things - I'm finding it so much fun and I love being able to customise things and have exactly what I want.


I'm making a list so I remember what I have done and what I have left to do... hopefully it will keep me in check!

The most ambitious project? I've decided to make my own wedding cake! It seems only apt, since I love baking, but also wedding cakes aren't really a done thing in Israel and the few places I've found won't let me have tastings. I refuse to serve a cake I haven't tasted. So that's decided. Don't ask me how to transport it or anything about the logistics just yet... I'll figure it out!

1. Save the Dates
2. Invitations
3. Thank you cards + RSVPs
4. Programs
5. Place cards
6. Seating plan
7. Decorate favour boxes
8. Make truffles for favours
9. Decorate bridesmaids' totes
10. Confetti cones
11. Bridesmaids' corsages

that's a really impressive DIY list, and I'm sure it'll all turn out amazing! Some people have suggested that I make my own cake since I'm in pastry school, but I'm not sure I could do it, it's a lot of pressure, so good luck! (But I'm sure it'll turn out perfect).

Anyways, we seem to have a weird amount of things in common, and I'm definitely interested in following your planning ;)

Pastry school is amazing but a lot of hard work. It's very tiring, but very rewarding. You'd probably enjoy it.

And that sounds amazing to have a wedding in Israel, even with all of your little road blocks. I think you'll do amazing at making your cake, I'm just not good under pressure, haha. And fruit cake wouldn't be fruit cake without some brandy ;)

I'll talk to my Chef and see if she knows of any non-dairy recipes, if that helps. I'm sure she knows of something.

And all of us bride-to-be's need a little encouragement ;)

Have a good night!
