Argghhhh, time seems to be going so fast; I can’t believe that tomorrow I only have 3 months left!
I’ve also had a few wobbles and changed my mind of several aspects such as bridesmaid dresses and my hair/veil style since my last big flash...
Sten Do Invitations
[We are having a super hero/villain theme]
Invitations
[I am completely in love with the design because they say “That’s Swell” and our venue is called Swell... little things amuse little minds!]
Venue
Our hotel room
[where my bridesmaids and I will be getting ready and OH and I will be spending our wedding night]
Colour Scheme Inspiration
Dress Inspiration
[I am having my dress made; it will be similar to this but with some tweaks; a different neck line, a grey petticoat, etc. I am going on the 5th April to be measured, pick my fabrics and confirm the exact design, I cannot wait ?
Hairstyle Inspiration
[This is one of my recent wobbles; I was going to do my hair myself with the help of my bridesmaids and go for something simple but then fell in love with this style and had to book a hairdresser! I have got my trial booked for 5th April – cannot wait! ?
Veil Inspiration
[I am umming and ahhhing about having a veil. I was originally going to have a birdcage veil bit having tried one I just felt like a wally! I then saw this picture and fell in love with this veil so may ask my dressmaker to make me something similar to this to match my dress and then just wear it for the ceremony and a few photos!]
My Shoes
My Cardigan
Actual cardigan on the left – Inspiration for coloured cardigan for the bride taken from picture on the right. [Just for if it’s chilly, walking from hotel to venue and back again]
Bridesmaids’ Hair Inspiration
[I have two adult bridesmaids and I let them choose their own hairstyle with the condition it was a fifties kind of style and these are what they have chosen ;-)]
Bridesmaids’ Shoes & Earrings
**The bridesmaid dresses are my current source of stress, I was meant to be getting them made by the lady who is making my dress but had issues trying to get my sister who lives hours away from me to commit to the 4 fittings! So currently got my credit card maxed out with several highstreet dresses in the hope that one of them meets with both bridesmaid’s approval! Fingers crossed, because I have wasted too many hours of my life now googling grey dresses!**
Groom’s Party’s Braces
[Groom in mustard yellow ones, ushers in navy striped and father of the bride in denim ones ;-)]
Buttonholes
[I am quite chuffed with my DIY efforts, although I did start on bouquets to match before giving up and going for fresh flowers!]
Bouquet Inspiration
[Mine will have craspedia and grey succulents like the picture on the left but with also some daisies and yellow roses and the bridesmaids will be having yellow roses and craspedia like the picture on the right but without the greenery]
Cake
[My cake is being made by my lovely bridesmaid – it will be mainly like the one of the left, only the middle tier will have little gray, navy and mustard yellow beach huts on, a bit like the picture on the right but with just a plain cream background. The bottom layer will be traditional fruit, the middle coconut sponge with passion fruit curd and the top lemon sponge... yummy ;-)]
Rings
[These are mine, OH hasn’t quite decided yet on his wedding ring!]
Ring Box
[A mini hand painted Tardis! OH loves Doctor Who; my ring has the word ‘companion’ engraved inside and when we finally get his it will have Time Lord engraved on it!]
Napkin Rings, Place Names and Wine Glass Charms
[Credit to Skeptical78 for the idea for Place Names and Napkin Rings – Thank You ;-)]
Throwing Confetti
[These colours but in heart shapes - We were going to go for confetti to match the colour scheme but then decided to go all out and get the colourful stuff ;-)]
Honeymoon
[Doing 3 nights Toronto, 2 nights Niagara Falls and then getting the Maple Leaf Train to New York for 4 nights... so excited ?
