1. Stick a strip of the burgundy card and a strip of the charcoal card torn across the top, to the right hand page. Stick the lilac ribbon across the join between the card strips.

3. Cut a rectangle slightly larger than the main photograph from the cream pearl card and attach both to the right page.

4. Stick a small piece of the gold card to the left page in the bottom left corner. Draw a rough heart shape onto it using the black and lilac pens.

5. Add the word “Wedding” using peel-offs to the bottom left. You can also add any other words you wish, such as names, dates etc.

6. Add the papermania embellishments to the top and bottom of the left page and bottom of the right page.

7. Punch around 15 hearts from the gold card and stick across the pages randomly.

8. Using a computer, print out the dictionary definitions of “bride” and “bridegroom” in burgundy ink.

9. Cut 2 rectangles from the cream card. Stick a torn piece of lilac mulberry paper to each. Add a looped piece of lilac ribbon and finally stick a dictionary definition to each.

10. Attach a piece of cream ribbon to the back of each rectangle, one shorter than the other, and fasten to the top of the page using the gold brad.
