5 Months to go FLASH!

Emmy1102, 3 April, 2016 at 10:42 Posted on Planning 0 12

Hey guys, this is my first real flash, let's see how this goes shall we!

Bit of background first, my fiance and I met six and a half years ago whilst moving into our first university house together, it took us 6 months to get together not wanting to ruin a good friendship or the house dynamic, but six years later we're still together and we are every cliche going - best friends, sole mates, the lot! (Makes you want to puke doesn't it!)

In February this year on my birthday we were in Disney World in Florida, after the fireworks at Magic Kingdom he pulled out a ring box and after a lot of crying I finally said yes! We decided on a short engagement as we've both feel like we have waited long enough and we found the perfect venue that was available this September!

Enough of the talking now, time for the pictures!

Venue:




The dress:



Bouquet inspiration:


My shoes:


Bridesmaids dresses:


Suit inspiration (The groom will be in just the waistcoat, best man and fathers will have jackets but in the same suit):


Centrepiece inspiration (we're still undecided on whether to go with silver lanterns or glass storm lanterns but either way they will be surrounded by a flower wreath, but in pastel shades to match the bouquets! And they will all sit on a hessian table runner):



Cake (Macaron tower - Similar to below but slightly different colours, we will be having ivory, pink, lilac, apricot and green):


Save the dates (These have already gone out):


Invitations:


Table plan and place names:



I could go on but I fear this post has gone on a bit already, and this way I'll have more to update you on at a later date! Smiley smile

    It looks lovely! I'm jealous of your short engagement, it'll be 15 months from engagement to wedding for me so still got over a year to wait (impatiently)! Smiley smile

    Oh my gosh, absolutely all of this looks stunning! That dress!! ?? I reeeeally wish I could wear something like that, but I'm having to wear flat shoes all day (I have a dodgy back, long story!) and I'm banking on hiding them under a long skirt ?

    You're going to have such an amazing day! x
