a silly amount of flashes....... :) updated with more flashes of stuff we have made

Mrspetal, 5 of October of 2013 at 15:00 Posted on Planning 0 40

I've not flashed much at all yet so i thought with 4 months 9 days to go its about time Smiley smile


Our venue for the day Abbott Barton Hotel


this is the room where we are getting married


Room for the evening reception


bridesmaid dresses with ivory petticoats, with cream round toe heels


my best friend is helping with our cake of cheese, this will go out with our evening buffet which is honey roasted ham with potatoes and salad, the venue is putting out crackers and chutneys.


this is the closest picture that i can find for our idea. My mum and dads willow tree is being cut back soon so branches from that will go into the trees. having lengths of beads hanging off them all placed in a tall vase so that our guests can see each other.

also having a slice of log under the vase for more detail.


we are having hessian and lace edging under the trees and the log section.


having LOADS of jars with lace or twine wrapped round with candles in.


more candles. Planning on having the ceremony room COVERED is candles.


my flowers with loads more daisys


how my flowers will be after i have dried them to keep.


to let our guests know what is happening for the day


hopefully i can get our son to do something like this..... we shall see.


handmade invites my me with help from mum, MIL and OH.

they all have the same design but the papers we have used are different.


one example..


photo ideas... we are 100% doing this.


and there is a lift too so doing this.

I could go on but that will do! Smiley smile

    I've yet to source a bauble yet. But it's on my list.

    im going to raid the shops once bonfire night is done with and see If we can get sparklers abit cheaper.

    i have asked the venue about the candles they said its fine but I don't have it in writing. I've got an email put together already to send so I will ask again so I have proof of permission.

    It's taken months to make the invitations. Be really glad when there all done.

    thankyou everyone... I'm so excited Smiley smile

    I wonder if our dresses are similar? I've not flashed mine yet as I hate the model pic and the picture I've got of me I hate as it's 2 sizes too small. I've got 2 months to lose a stone! :/

    Don't mind at all! I went to the Range yesterday and thought there was more choice in there than the Hobbycraft I'd been to. I got the Spring Feast paper pad because I just loved the range of colours:


    So far I've not started the invitations but I'm planning on something like this

    I havnt got my dress yet as I cant find the perfect one (ive seen some gorgeous ones but they're all discontinued or out of budget)

    It must be high backed (which is hard to find now a days) as I dont like my upper back/shoulders

    and

    non A line or princess cut (im going either fishtail or empire I think)

    would love to see your dress, good luck with getting into it ?

    Thanks! The invites are on the link and will just go in an envelope - they're not the flowers as they would be a nightmare to post lol. (I'm guessing it was the flowers you were talking about?) The flowers will just be made into place names on the day and were fairly simple to make really. I've added some pearls to the centre of them now and they look quite sweet. I just have to figure out how/where to add the names! ?
