RachD90, 7 October, 2015 at 19:20 Posted on Planning 0 10

Can't believe how quick the time is going am guessing your all feeling the same. At a bit of a stand still at the moment as nothing can really do until nearer the time. I've edited this post to update it with some new pictures and info. My wedding venue has just been taken over by new management and I couldn't be more thrilled, they are so lovely and quick to respond. Nothing is to much trouble and my wedding advisor feels like a good friend now she so nice. Also they revamping the whole place (its a hotel as well) all the room have been refurbished completely and they are updating all the paint work and they just added extra lovely touches to the whole castle.

Venue

Both Ceremony and Reception

Dress

Me in the dress but needs to be altered and also am adding beaded tulle cap sleeves, so excited. Am wearing my veil in picture but ordered in the longer length so goes to bottom of my dress.

Hair

Flowers

Groom, Best Man & Groomsmen

Their cufflinks, they all got a superhero cufflink to create picture like this.

Bridesmaids

Cake

Cake topper in memory of our cav

Cake Pop Favours (having charity donation to Dogs Trust as well)

Invites but in mint or pink

Groom's ring (got it inscribed to look to exactly like the one ring on the outside, its really cool in real life and inside it says a love quote from lord of the rings what arwen says to aragorn.

Sorry for awful quality of picture haha

My ring, am getting a new engagement ring as we lost a stone in my first one and got a refund rather than replacement. The top picture is what my set will look like am getting the wedding ring from it but the engagement ring will be the ring from 2nd photo (just a little tiny bit different)

Will flash more as go along like have a lot of D.I.Y items like table numbers and center pieces.

See last page for all my DIY

    Love it all. Your wedding will be stunning. Now if I could just find those flowers with wintry leaves in fake I would be a happy bunny.

    Thanks everyone for the nice words. I really love my dress its just what I was looking for romantic but classical at same time. Just in a toss up between a lace or satin trim veil (has to be cathedral length though darling haha!). The pockets so handy as well, might slip a hip flask in there haha.

    Oh and am getting married in Leasowe Castle on the Wirral

    Got another flash which received today

    Rose Gold Earrings, super pretty and more dainty than I thought but look so expensive. Only £35 from QVC and I got 20% discount as work there haha so more of a bargain. My jewellery all sorted now as my groom is buying me a lovely cavalier necklace from etsy in gold.

    Also so excited may have my videographer, been looking for months and so disheartened as are budget was only £500 max for one and I'd rather not one at all, than have someone who may be cheap but awful. The style I wanted normally meant well over £1500 and just couldn't afford it. Branched out on gumtree last couple days to london as thought well they could travel as can get a quick train liverpool to london anyway. Found a lovely girl who style is exactly what I was looking for an thought she cost more than £1000 but she when she got bk to me was surprised her top package was £650. I've got it down to £500 (without her travel cost) due to wedding starting a bit later at 3.30pm and so won't be filming for as many hours. Am super excited now i've got that and it's just getting a florist now I think and grooms outfit.

    How nice is the groom outfit inspiration from pinterest I keep telling people about the grey and navy/blue combo and they look at me like what that sounds horrible, then show them the photo and they like wow that looks good.

    All my D.I.Y

    Table Numbers

    Mason Jars (Also have gold but need second coat and tucked away in shed)

    Centrepieces (won't have these flowers just for ideas)

    Evening Invite, this is a rough draft. Just made it to see how it all forms together. I just rushed the cutting out so will do it nice instead for real ones and it will be on pink card instead of white and writing in gold. Plus I had to sellotape the mint card behind it as don't have glue haha. Literally taken me so many attempts and weeks to get this right, I didn't have a clue how to cut it out to pop up and then it was getting the measurements right etc.

    Am also d.i.ying the menus and probably other little bits but can be done when get invites back and see if anyone veggie etc.

    Hey,

    Love all of this, especially your dress! Did you order your briddsmaids dresses from ever pretty? I've found a dress on there I love but always wary of ordering from the US, due to costs if needing to send it back etc. Just wondered how you found them?

    Thanks
