Contemporary Wedding Crafts
gives you the opportunity to create a truly unique wedding as it has designs for

Lindy
Smith's Cookies |
|
|
This simple
recipe from Lindy makes delicious, long-lasting cookies that are not only
tasty treats but are handy as well- freezing them for up to a month can
really help to save time for all those last minute preparations! To make
them even better and let your creativity flourish, there are some ideas for
covering and decorating them too, with sugar paste or royal icing. Lindy
hopes you will fall head over heels with these unique designs.

Cupcakes |

Joan and Graham Belgrove
have designed these cupcakes with absolutely every taste in mind,
whether you're a novice to crafting or a well practised cupcake baker,
there is definitely a cupcake to suit your wedding.
These decorations are a
great way to add a little magic to your tables, making sure that
absolutely everything has your own personal touch. The candy cones,
designed by Marion Elliot, can be filled with personalised sweets
(the recipe can be found in Contemporary Wedding Crafts or even
portraits of the bride and groom ).
Templates are included at the very
end of the book to make sure all your crafting goes smoothly and without any
hiccups, so everything from cupcakes to ring purses can be flawless.
As with Lindy's books,
Contemporary Wedding Crafts is full of easy-to-read instructions with helpful
diagrams and photographs to ensure your creations are perfect for the big day.
Each bride is beautiful and
deserves to look her best on her wedding day; this section of the book gives
the modern bride ideas and designs to help her look truly radiant, as well
as allowing her to have real input into all aspects of her day, including
