95 Days - Time for a big old flash! :D

alabastamasta, 3 of February of 2014 at 23:31 Posted on Planning 0 32

So, 95 days today!
Lots of this stuff is still at the 'inspiration' stage; meeting with a florist on Sat to go over woodland/Alice bouquets - excite!

Here's where I've got to so far with the plans; dress still up in the air, but I'm sure I'll have one at some point - I hope!

Invites:


RSVP:


Church:


Venue:


Bridesmaid dress inspiration:


Flower girl (cheshire cat!) dresses:


Bouquet inspiration:



centre piece/venue decoration inspiration:







I am buying a load of ferns to use as centrepieces, with gypsophila or cowslip and a load of old cups, saucers, teapots, clocks, keys etc to make an Alice feel. All the crockery will be available as favours for guests to take away at the end of the night, and all the plants are going into my newly cleared out garden, so hopefully as much will be re-used as possible!

Photographer: Clear Image Photography:


Eat me and Drink me labels for toast glasses (and maybe menus?)


Our topper:


Cake inspiration:



I think we are going to have the Caterpillar sitting on one of the toadstools Smiley smile

meringue mushrooms to serve with the cake:


So, getting there! Still a lot to do, but much further along than I have been so far! Smiley laugh

Next week I'm starting on centrepiece designs as each table will have to be different as I've bought so much random crap! Wish me luck!

    You had me at the invitations. I'm so jealous! I would have had a mad hatter's tea party theme but OH would never have agreed.

    Thanks everyone!

    Invites went out today - yay! So starting to feel a bit more real. I'm ordering the beads for the dress (I'm having to make part of it - ARGH) this week, as well as sorting out the Subversive Cross Stitch that I'm doing for all my BMs

    And this weekend, I am off to finalise the order of service, do the menu tasting and check out some teacup planters at the garden centre where I'm hiring/buying some stuff. They look pretty cool:

    Then it's just making the dress and finalising the centrepieces! Smiley laugh

    They are so cute! I went on the Monsoon website and looked at the more flower girl type dresses, but this is the one that I ended up with, haha!
    I have someone making a petticoat for one of them to see what it looks like when it's puffed out a bit - will flash when it's done! Smiley smile

    I found the mushrooms on pinterest, I think. You just make a stalk and the top of the mushroom, then join them together with chocolate Smiley laugh

    NOM!

    Is your venue Wethele Manor? We went to look round there and H2B loved it but was WAY over our budget!

    Thanks! It's from an awesome lady called Melabowed on etsy; having to get it brought over in my parents' hand luggage when they come back from the states; not sure how I'd have got it here otherwise! Smiley smile
