My first ever flash with 6 months (and 5 days) to go....
Our invites
our venue
Ceremony will be held on a barge on the Thames in the hotel grounds
followed by a champagne toast with cake.... Top 2 tiers are like this but with wine coloured ribbon
Then cupcakes beneath with buttercream icing like these
Cake flavours are lemon, strawberry and champagne and cherry and almond.
my dress! H2B will be wearing a charcoal grey suit, white shirt and a waistcoat in the same colour as my dress.
Hopefully these will be my shoes. First time I ordered them they sent the wrong ones. 2nd time lucky as since placing my second order they're now out of stock. Eeek!
hair inspirations
H2bs ring
Im having an 18ct white gold 3mm band which H2B has had inscribed. I'm not allowed to see what it says until our wedding day though!
my flowers although in a teardrop shape. H2B will have a buttonhole with white rose and vintage orchid.
then it's into the bar for some pre dinner drinks. Dinner will be in the main restaurant on one big table (there's only 19 of us)
tablecentres which we'll add some rope detail to the base and some diamanté pins in the flowers
Favour lotto ticket holders
Then we're off into the bar for the rest of the evening where we'll serve some fudge, cake truffles and marshmallows made by our cake maker
then we're off to Grand Centara Maldives for 9 nights of indulgence and relaxation.
