*Big Flash* 5 1/2 months to go - what we've got so far & advice needed

Absolutely stunning, your dress, rings and venue are to die for

Sooo pretty! Love your headband and venue! With regards to the colour scheme, I think you could go with pretty much anything. Have you had a look at ideas on pintrest etc so see if there are any that catch your eye? It may be worth narrowing it down so whether your want something fairly bold (eg Cadbury purple) or something a bit more subtle (pastels etc) and go from there?

What a gorgeous venue! I can't believe you've only been engaged 5 weeks, that is impressive organisation!

I no advice on colours or anything, I would be inclined to stick to creams and Ivory as its so elegant but it's purely my taste. Definitely look at Pinterest for colour inspiration, I love it.

Cannot wait for this report! it's going to be one stunning wedding!!

for some reason your dress and jewellery are screaming 'peach' decor to me. i think it would suit well and bring freshness yet warmth. first and foremost- what does the venue allow in the way of decor? are you allowed hanging stuff for example?

Your venue is stunning!!! And I like those shoes now seeing them from tnis angle. They have a nice wedge heel and are fab.

Colours, you really could have anything. What tie will your OH be wearing as that could be a good guide.

That venue is beautiful. Fingers crossed for good weather for an outside ceremony. You will get some gorgeous wedding photos of you all there.

Thanks ladies! You are too kind! I am so happy with the venue we chose but we were so spoiled for choice, Edinburgh and East Lothian have some stunning venues, we practically liked all of the ones we looked at! I am also so happy we will be close enough to the beach to go there for some pictures after the ceremony!

Thanks, the wedge heel was one of the reasons I decided on these shoes (the others were flats), as I don't normally wear heels because they get uncomfortable very quickly for me. Hope the wedge heel will be comfortable for a couple of hours at least and help me walk a bit more like a lady. I am not sure about his tie, I assumed we would be matching his tie to our colour, I think he will be hiring a suit so it could probably be any colour we want.

Aww your venue is stunning

good going getting all that done in 5 weeks

All looks lovely. The red chairs in the reception room are really nice so you could maybe think about incorporating these into your colour scheme. I'm a big fan of mostly white/cream with hints of colour so you could have hints of red?

Beautiful, love your venue! Can't wait to see the report

Colours, I think you'd be fine to stick with neutrals as you say. Perhaps a dusky pink amongst creams, ivory I personally think would work well

Its all coming together beautifully, you are super organised!!

Where is your venue? Its stunning!! xx

Tash & ste, that's Greywalls in Gullane (East Lothian).

Wow 5 weeks I'm impressed. It took me two years to get started. Your hair piece is beautiful. I saw the same one today and tried it on (ended up buying a different one though). The picture just doesn't do it justice xxx

Everything looks wonderful!

Cant wait to see it all together!

With a venue like that, I would use the garden surroundings for inspiration. I would choose green shades and have green and ivory centrepieces etc and would try to tie the flowers and style with things found in the area you are having the ceremony and drinks.

Thanks to all of you! I am so excited to see the venue again this weekend.

Using the gardens as inspiration is a great idea, thanks!
