Hey guys
So... i thought I wanted i kind of barn type shabby chic wedding, very relaxed with lots of dainty little flowers in jars and bunting and all that jazz until i went to see this wedding venue.
I dont know why I went to see this venue as it was about 7K out of our budget but me and my mother went on down to have a nose.
I actually couldnt lift my jaw up off the gravel as we approached. And the inside is absolutely wonderful too!
AND THEN we were told how much it was. Seriously nearly died.
It was cheaper than having it in some of the complete dives that we had already looked at. AND it included, 40 day guests sit down meal (free flowing wine), +60 evening guests. A reputable TOG, a cake, invitations, a wedding bouquet + 2 bridesmaid and 2 buttenholes for the lads. And a fancy pants car.
All this to have it on a weekday.
But I wonder, was i purposely having a shabby chic kind of wedding becuase i thought it would be cheaper. At heart, im posh. and i know it. But I cant help noticing all the things that i love that just wouldnt go with this venue. It seems to be a lot easier to inject personality into a blank canvas... This already has such a strong charactor I wonder if its possible.
I thought maybe red would go... then i wondered onto themes. Red queen of hearts? which i had liked right before i even started looking for venues.
Is anyone else finding this soooo tough? im struggling to follow my own heart!!
What dya think? i'll flash the red queen of hearts save the dates i found too...
