1 more sleep! With lots of flashes!

Linz160, 12 of October of 2013 at 20:29 Posted on Planning 0 37

5 weeks tomorrow until I become a Mrs!

Below are some pics of the components of our big day ...

General mood board ...

Home made invites ...

Bridesmaid hair inspiration ...

Venue ...

Ceremony room ...

one big table for meal ...

Hog roast in evening ...

Sweetie cart and cup cakes ...

It will be small and simple during her day for family and a few close friends, then a big party at night with a live band and plenty dancing!

Can't wait now!

I feel like I must have forgotten something as it's all been pretty plain sailing ... touch wood! My custom dress arrived last week and is beautiful, my ring is being hall marked and I can pick it up next week, favour boxes to be made up and tablet to be made, bridesmaid gift box to be finalised, but I'm now thinking about getting my case packed for the 3 weeks in Florida which follow!

    I have that Jessica Alba pic saved for inspiration. I've also pinched your BM hair pic!

    My BMs hair trial was almost exactly like the pic - it was lovely! And nice to tie in with the plaits in mine also.

    It is exciting!! But we are also both so excited about going to Florida ... 5 weeks tomorrow!

    Thankyou. The castle is gorgeous. We struggled to find somewhere that satisfied the small and intimate during the day, with a space for a big party at night - this fits the bill perfectly!

    Everything is so pretty :-) I love the bridesmaid hair idea- I may have to pinch that! Also quite intrigued by your invitations- what on earth do you use the cider for.... or was that for drinking?

    4 days to go!

    Thanks again for all the nice comments.

    The cider was just for drinking!!

    We aren't having a piper, thought about it, but decided not to bother.

    We've had make up and final hair trials ...

    I've made a last minute decision to put some colour through the top section of my hair, the contrast isn't so obvious in real life, but looks quite obvious in photos. So going to have some lighter flashes put through it.

    And have decided that is my dress is just a tad too long, so I have bought some higher shoes...

    My mum and step dad finally arrived from SA and I spent today getting my brows, lashes and toenails done,

    The hairs are great and really like the way they coordinate, never thought of that before...

    Good luck and might your day be much better than you ever dreamed! x

    Thank you. We're quite different in style, but the pleats just tie the two hair styles together a bit.

    Eek .... one more sleep!

    Kilts have been collected, cupcakes are bring dropped off today, collecting my dress from where it has been stored and delivering it to venue, then we will set up the pavilion evening reception tables (jars, candles, ivy).

    Then I'll get my bag packed and head off to stay with my mum for the night.

    Make up appt at 10 tomorrow then off to the castle for hair and getting ready.
