    Love this (apart from the Chelsea garter lol!) You've got some amazing ideas, especially love the bouncy castle and the bridesmaid glasses are really cute. The venue looks magnificent and I love the styling of it - I'm a sucker for fairy lights x

    Everything looks awesome! Loving the bouncy castle Smiley laugh Your venue looks similar to mine and our styles seem quite similar Smiley smile

    In fact, your wedding ring is exactly what I'm after, do you mind me asking where it was from, and how much? Thanks!

    How exciting! We're venue twins, I love Notley and all of the people who work there are fantastic! Looking forward to seeing your report Smiley smile

    Are you using their chair covers or going for white? We were torn as to what to do!

    OMG how cool to have a venue twin! we just fell in love with the place and after we'd seen it no other place came close, and THE FOOD..... No words needed!

    we are hiring in chair covers cos navy ones wouldn't go with our colour scheme. I can't believe they don't have white ones - can't see many people wanting navy?

    what food have you gone for?

    Aaw thank you so much that's very kind. I know it's silly but it really makes me feel such happiness when people say nice things as all the decor and the general look of the wedding is all my ideas (men don't seem to care much for the finer details) and so it makes me feel so proud

    How exciting! Your venue looks stunning, and the back of your dress - WOW!!!

    can I ask where you got your wishing well from and how much it cost? It's one thing we're wanting to have for our cards too

    Yes - for 4 dresses (as I got myself a shorter one in a different colour for honeymoon) the shipping was about £40 as they are from America

    Thank you - the back of the dress is what sold it!

    Ahh I'm sorry - I just bought it off a local selling site on facebook - think the lady's husband made it

    I'd fallen in love with it before we had even visited, and then we were sold when we visited and went into the kitchen and he gave us breakfast!! The food is delicious, we've not set our menu yet as we're getting married pretty much a year after you (28th May 2015). There's too much to choose from! What did you decide? We were looking at a BBQ in the evening, but it seems like all we will be doing is eating all day lol!

    I love the bouncy castle - can I be cheeky and ask who you hired it from please? We've not decided about the chair covers yet, I do like the blue ones as we're having blue as our main colour, but am just worried that it will be quite dark. Why they don't have white covers is beyond me! I need to investigate chair covers more thoroughly and check prices out.

    I don't use hitched much so thought I'd give you my email address (selinalucas@ hotmail.com) no space between the @ and hotmail but wasn't sure if this site allows me to post email address. Or add me on facebook Selina Pinky Lucas.

    I was the same - in love with Notley looking at it on line. Then we were hooked when we were shown round by Nick.

    Food - we've gone for canapes and drinks reception. Then we've given choices for main meal (cost a bit extra)

    Starters: broccoli and stilton soup, sweet chilli chicken and bacon salad or melon and parma ham.

    Mains: Lamb with mint and rosemary gravy, butternut squash rissotto, spanish style chicken

    Desserts: Eton mess, vanilla cheesecake topped with strawberry sauce.

    In the evening we've gone for a mix of hog roast and buffet.

    I know what you mean about Petr the chef he's amazing. At the last wedding fair I spent most of it in the kitchen eating all his food.

    Bouncy castle is from Sams inflatables £80 for 8 hours and chair covers and sashes are from Fun factor parties £150 for 100 chair covers and sashes including set up. Email me or facebook me and I can give you details if you want them.
