Contemporary Wedding Crafts


Paperback £14.99
 Published in UK- March 2010.
With six designers inputs- Lindy Smith, Joan and Graham Belgrove, Marion Elliot, Julie Hickey and Dorothy Wood, this book contains over 40 stunning projects from cookies to tiaras to inspire the modern bride.

Contemporary Wedding Crafts gives you the opportunity to create a truly unique wedding as it has designs for intricate, one-off pieces as well as some less time consuming projects, "Six creative designers request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of simple crafting techniques to chic, modern style... So say 'I do' to Contemporary Wedding Crafts."

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.

Table Decorations
 

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 the finer details such as earrings and ring pillows.
