Vow Renewal Bouquet

Our vow renewal package included a fresh rose bouquet, but I had a boho theme and wanted to try making my own bouquet. I ordered 3x sets of these flowers off Ali Express and found a bouquet holder at on of the discount stores.

Once I started creating it - I realised I needed some filler and found the perfect ones at Choice.

Starting to come together!

Even though it wouldn't be seen, I decided to cover the bottom of the holder with twine, to match the boy's corsages.

The final product!  I love how it turned out and am very pleased with first attempt at making a bouquet :)

Sydney - Day 4 & Heading Home

Sydney - Day 4 -We docked at Circular Quay at 6am - it was lovely watching the view as we sailed in. We had breakfast and disembarked by 8am. We caught a taxi to our hotel and dropped our bags off.

We walked down to Pitt St mall so Clay and I could go to the Lego store! It's the biggest store in the southern hemisphere and it was fun to see all the displays! Clay created / printed his own minifigure and we both shopped up a storm!

From the Lego store we went to the Strand - where we had handmade chocolates and a giant cookie.

We spotted the Batmobile as we walked down to Darling Harbour!

We caught a ferry across to Luna Park.

Lots of high end stores around the hotel we were staying at!

We stayed at Park Regis in the city centre.  It also had a roof top pool and some fabulous views!

Heading home - Day 5 -We got up early and headed to the airport to fly back to Brisbane.  We caught a train back to GC, then hopped in the car and headed back to Brisbane. LOL  Craig had his work awards night - so he headed out and Clay and I chilled at the hotel.

Super proud of Craig - the Bundy store won QLD Store of the Year!!

Sunday morning we had a slow start to the morning and headed home.  We had a wonderful 2 weeks!
