6 months today! Flash :) :)

Stephie, 10 April, 2015 at 14:12 Posted on Planning 0 28

It's finally my 6 months to go mark, so I'm doing a flash! I've probably flashed all these bits and pieces before, but it's exciting to see them all come together! Apologies, I don't know how to shrink the images so some of them may be huge or sideways :/


I bought my ring the other day so it came up first on my documents list...!


This is the venue, it's a converted barn. They change the room around for the reception...


We'll be having the red and gold chairs shown in the picture, they go really nicely with our theme so no covers.


My DIY flowers!


BM dresses - these aren't the actual dresses, but are the same colours, I'm having two reds and two golds, my golds are maxis but the reds are short like in the pic Smiley smile


Centrepieces


Place card inspiration - I've already been practising, spray painting leaves gold! Think I'll be going with maple leaves as they look nicer


Invite inspiration - these are currently being prepared by our good friends, but we have the materials and this is (hopefully!) the finished product


My dress (with me in it)


Back of dress, not tied up properly!


My lovely shoes!


Hair inspiration, I do want it half up half down, with some sort of detail, but I'm not sure what yet. I do have a tiara and veil so will see what the hairdresser thinks looks best!

Think that's about it for now! I didn't think you'd want to see the car and bus ha ha! I also have no idea what the OH will be wearing, we won't have a matching suit for the men in the bridal party, as OH is a massive diva and wanted to stand out ️?️ !! Ooh it's getting really real now....!

    Thanks both! Brooksy - I know! How are you doing it up? I'm trying to keep an Autumn theme going, with different coloured leaves scattered down the aisle as well..!

    Ah thanks everyone ❤️

    Karen86, it's from a shop on Etsy called Lord of Gem Rings. They've got lots of beautiful rings, mine was only £220. It's not arrived yet mind, should probably wait for it to arrive before I start making recommendations ?

    Ahh thanks for your lovely comments ladies ?

    Could I ask a qu? Do you think it matters what colour suit OH will wear? He's been looking at dark blue /navy ones but I wasn't sure if that colour would look OK against the red and gold? Do you think that would look OK?

    Blue and red goes, and blue and gold is gorgeous! It'll definitely work.

    Thank you ladies ❤️

    Misslynx - yay date twin!! When are you sending your invites out? I was thinking in the next few weeks, quite a few ladies in the October thread have finished theirs and some have posted!

    Hi,

    I plan to send my invites out beginning of May. This is due to a current issue with the best man though - the old best friend of my partner is just not getting back to us at all!

    My OH wants to give him until the end of the month when he will ask his second choice to be best man. Poor bloke is broken over it though and I am so annoyed.

    What I have done though is ask for everyone's home addresses so I know most people we are asking so plan to attend and will have all the info together ready and in one place.

    We are also looking at sample invites - not decided totally on what we are having yet but should do within the week :-)

    ps. I have only been organising since January and I always feel behind the organised lot on the boards! Lol!

    MrsNtobe71115 - it's Meols Hall in Southport - is it the venue you were thinking of?

    Misslynx - I am the same, always think I'm on the ball then I see how far others have progressed and I realise I really need to get a wiggle on! I think May sounds about right for the invites. Hopefully ours will be finished soon so I can get them out, another tick off the list ha ha!
