A month to go - flashathon!

InkedDoll, 12 December, 2014 at 10:31 Posted on Planning 0 19

So I haven't done a planning or flash thread yet, and as I now have a month to go (give or take a few days!), I thought I may as well Smiley smile

So, firstly, our venue - the Famous Blacksmiths Shop at Gretna Green


Invitations:


Favours are Scottish tablet and they will look like this:


But with tartan ribbon and tags like this, which my mother has made - they have our name and the date on the other side


Except for my 18 month old niece, for whom I had this bib made:


Our rings:

Mine:


His:


One of my main style inspirations, Pattie Boyd's wedding to George Harrison:


My dress:


Shoes:


I have a vintage grey fake fur to wear when we're outside, and I bought this vintage brooch to pin onto it:


Garter:


Vintage bag:


Vintage bracelet - my mother has lent me a necklace to match this, although I don't have a pic of the necklace


A cheeky pair of wedding knickers - this pic is obviously the seller's display one. As my H2B is taking my name, I've had 'property of Mr [his new surname]' embroidered on them


Hair will be something like this:


But my mum is making me a hairband to match my dress, so the effect will be something like this


Makeup - I'm going for a soft 60s style, I have used many tutorials, but these pics are pretty close to the final look, they're from rockmywedding


Bouquet (this is it in a still unfinished state - it will have tartan ribbon to match the favours)


I bought this vintage brooch to pin onto the ribbon - horseshoe for luck, thistle cos we'll be in Scotland


The only other thing I don't have a pic of is H2B's suit - but it's a classic black three piece with a fine pinstripe, and a tie with dark red to match my bouquet and his buttonhole. And I think that's it so far! Smiley smile

    Thanks Smiley smile I had a vision for the look very early on, and when I happened on the pics of George and Pattie it all started coming together, particularly with my vintage fur coat. I am an avid Beatles and 60s pop culture fan, and a regular buyer of vintage, so finding what I wanted wasn't too difficult - with the exception of the dress! I just hope I can execute everything well on the day. Oh, the hours I have spent on ebay, etsy, pinterest...I wouldn't like to add them up!

    Amazing. I can't believe you've been able to resist flashing it all. Lovely individual elements, but all blend together so well.

    Can't wait to see how it all comes together on the day. Squeee!
