1st flash with less than 6 months to go (lots of pictures)

Mai15Bride, 2 December, 2014 at 10:04 Posted on Planning 0 18

Hello all,

I thought with less than 6 months to go, I go from Serial Lurker to doing my first flash. We will get married 9th May and I couldn't be more exited. I have most things organized, just little bits missing now. The theme is Vintage Travel and the colors are ivory and blush.

I already bought the dress and it's currently hanging at home. Really have to stop myself from trying it on all the time.



Shoes and Hair Inspiration



Flower Inspiration


Ceremony Venue and Room. It's a small castle in Germany.




The Park right next to the castle. I am really hoping for lovely weather for our pictures.


The reception venue and room. Its a 5 minute walk from the ceremony venue.



The table inspiration, table numbers and favor boxes. We will have sugared almonds as favors.




The guest book table. We bought vintage post cards that our guests can sign.


And the cake inspiration. I don't like fondant icing, so we will have a buttercream cake. Haven't decided yet on the flavors, but one layer will definitely be chocolate.


Honeymoon will be in September. We are going to St. Lucia.


That's it so far. I can't believe its all coming together like this.

Thanks to you all lovely ladies, reading through the forum has definitely helped with the planning.

Have a great day,

MaiBride

    Very pretty! The next few months will fly by - well, I hope they do anyway, as I am only 3 or 4 weeks behind you!

    Thank you Pammy. I know, it's crazy, we are counting too, 159 days and time is flying by. Which is great as I am a bit too organized and now its mostly waiting for May. Our invites should arrive this week though and that's very exciting.

    And hi Sarah, very excited to have a date twin. Thank god for the forum, I think my friends and family think I am getting too obsessed, even though I really do try and limit the wedding talk.

    That looks like an absolutely stunning wedding! I love the colours! I was looking for a blush dress for a while but then ended up settling on ivory.

    Can I make a teeeeny suggestion? With your dress colour, I would think that an all white/cream bouquet would provide a beautiful contrast. I really love the colours of the bouquet you've pictured, but I think they might got lost a little bit against your dress? Perhaps the BM's could have the blush flowers, and you could still use them in decor?

    Ooooh, are you having BM's? Have you thought about having them in white dresses? Your wedding has really caught my imagination! Smiley smile

    Hi SillyWrong,

    I am actually not meeting the florist until January, so haven't really thought about colors yet for the bouquet. If there will be color in it, I think it would be a lot lighter then in the picture. But I will keep your suggestion in mind.

    As we are having a civil ceremony only, I am not having any bridesmaids. In Germany, it's slightly different in regards to bridesmaids. Usually people only have them for the church ceremony. We are both having a bit of a hybrid of witness/best man which will be our brothers.

    Edited to add, that I can see the picture now and if I would have bridesmaids, that white dresses would be a great idea.

    Thank you everyone.

    MrsShep, I think it must be the smallest castle in all of Germany. But it has a moat and a turret, so I guess it classifies as one.

    Love it all! Your dress is stunning and the castle sounds amazing, small or not! Do you have a German connection?

    I am German and most of my family lives in the town we are getting married in. OH has a relatively small family, so we decided to do it in Germany as my older relatives don't travel.
    Only problem is that Germans love their paperwork, I nearly had a heart attack when the registrar gave me the full list. :-)

    Thank you ladies. I love seeing everyone else's 6 months flashes too. Looks like there are a lot of us getting married around May. :-)

    TreacleTart, the map table numbers will have names of places we travelled to instead of numbers. I hope it will look just as nice as on the picture. I will add it to the flash once they are done. Just waiting for some paper to arrive.

    Our invites will hopefully arrive today. OH found them, he is very proud of that. They look like flight tickets, with luggage tags as RVPS, so definitely match the travel theme.
