    Hi,

    Looks great. That cake topper is really interesting (the little pendant thing with names that turned into a necklace), where is it from?

    Thanks!

    Wow!! That was a flash and a half Gbutterfly Smiley smile

    I love how you have tied your theme together through everything, don't even know where to begin commenting as it all looks wonderful. Must comment on your custom ring though - it's beautiful! I've never seen anything like it, so intricate and pretty Smiley smile

    Also, the fact your wedding is only a week before mine and you are able to show so much organisation is scary - there is no way I'll be in a position to flash like this next week!!!

    AWESOME flash - you weren't kidding when you said it was huge! May I ask - where are you getting your alcoholic favours from?

    Thanks everyone! Considering I was out of action for months after surgery it's very re-assuring to hear that I am organised, believe me!

    The cake topper info is on this link https://www.hitched.co.uk/chat/forums/t/296315.aspx

    The alcoholic favours are from the stall in Selfridges in the trafford centre that does different types of liqueurs and vodka's, we asked there and they just happen to do favours Smiley smile

    This all looks fab I love the red, may I ask where your bridesmaid dresses are from? I'm having red and love the style. Your venue looks like a hotel we stayed in for my birthday last year opposite Chester train station, is it? X

    What a fantastic flash! I love how your theme runs through everything without being too "in your face"- that's what I'm trying to do.

    I think I'm just the day after you, aren't you going to Excellence in Mexico? That's one of the places we're thinking of.
