The book is packed with over 20 tried-and-tested projects, from a range of stationery designs, candle favors, wedding cakes, ring pillows and veils, to lanterns, bunting and paper flowers. The book is full of beautiful wedding photographs, which show the reader exactly how the projects work in a real wedding setting.

Marrianne Mercer (now Miall) studied at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University to gain a degree in Graphic Design and Advertising in 2005. From there she moved back to Kent to start her career as a graphic designer. She now works as a designer for a book publisher and enjoys making handmade beaded jewellery at weekends: her first book, Twenty to Make Button Jewellery was published in 2011. She crafted her own beautiful DIY wedding in 2013, and it was this that inspired her to share her experiences in her latest book.
