6 Months To Go Flash

Tidal Wave, 20 November, 2015 at 10:45 Posted on Planning 0 8

Well, technically 6 months and 1 day Smiley tongue

This is the church that all but 2 of my mums relatives have gotten married in, so this was hugely important to me.


As such, he had final say on the reception - what's that Tidal, you want a lovely Tudor building, fabulous gardens, high ceilings and portraits of previous monarchs decorating the walls - well that's not fun. So our reception, Brooklands Museum, only thing my dad got really excited by. Best thing is, if the weather is good, and the cars are available, we actually get taken round the old race track Smiley smile



So the dress had to be more practical than fun


I am adding the sparkly straps to add a bit of bling to things.

The bridesmaid's dresses


Again with straps and in Cadbury Purple. My brides-man will be in a charcoal suit with a dark purple wasitcoat, which I am still waiting for measurements, as is he with his best man...men.

The flowers, I don't really know apart from pretty and meh, but something like this


Just lots of colour and really bold, which is a contrast to the bridesmaids flowers and buttonhole for my brides-man.



Men's buttonholes: Not sure on the white or purple lily though:


In keeping with the laid back approach we've mainly had, apart from a few wobbles from me the wedding car:


Seeing the cake maker today, but am hoping to have this:


The lego toppers are already bought, and totally non negotiable. Instead of hearts, hoping to have little lego bricks.

Hair inspiration, just a bit low maintenance and flowy.


The table number holders:


Just something that links in the purple with the blue of the room.

Haven't thought about centre pieces etc yet, as that's all getting sorting in January once we go for a menu tasting and can see the room set up (3 times we've been it's been used)

That's it Smiley smile 6 Months really doesn't seem that long, which I am hoping doesn't bring out any stress Smiley smile

    It all looks beautiful. 6 months isn't long and yes it will fly by. We all say it but it's true. I have 6 weeks left and have no idea where the last six months or so went from when I started. First dress fitting tomorrow!

    What a great flash! It will really fly once we hit the new year. I love your dress and the colours you're using.

    Thank you for the comments. The colours - not my idea, he thought that the purple would happily compliment against the room. So I'll pass on the compliment.

    Jayne how exciting, let us know how it all goes Smiley smile

    That's only because after finding how hard it was to find a hair and make up artist, massive kick up the bum and thought sh*t what if everything else is booked up this early! Hehe.

    Thank you jayne, again he picked the colours so will pass on ood messages.

    Kat, the church is pretty, but however bad it sounds it could be an ugly church the meaning outweighs it, not the windows though, truly stunning ?
