Less than 3 months to go... long overdue flashes

TrixieSaurus, 25 May, 2016 at 16:52 Posted on Planning 0 5

Hi All,

I really enjoy looking at everyone's flashes and figured it's long overdue for me to do my own, so I'm going to try and see how this works out. Sorry if pics are huge/too small/not working! lol
Here goes:

The Ceremony Venue:

Reception Venue:

We have swan boats for the guests after the wedding breakfast, whilst we go and meet the elephants! :

The dress: (But I'm making a few changes to it, subject to a separate post!)

The shoes, his & hers :

Flowers I was going to make, something like these:

BUT my mum is insisting on paying for flowers, because she doesn't want me to stress too much in the lead up to the wedding... (or she's just not keen on these either!)

I have an idea what OH is wearing, but he won't tell me, because if he can't see what I;m wearing, I can't see what he's wearing. But it's a morning suit i know that much.

Had many BM dramas, so those dresses haven;t been finalised yet, but the colours are navy and silver.

No idea what to do with my hair... going to a friend's house tonight so she can try some styles out before I go for a trial.

Oh and Cake - we're going for Cake Mystique. Basically, our fave cake person from all the wedding fayres we've been to, charges us for a plain cake and she gets complete creative control over the cake! We gave her copies of our invites, ideas we have tell her something we REALLY don;t want to see, then something we MUST have and we don;t see teh cake until the day! All we've chosen is the flavours : peanut butter & choc, elderflower & lime, cherry and chocolate orange Smiley laugh

If i think of anything else I guess I'll post it here Smiley smile

    Can I come too?! Love all of it and can't wait to see more.

    What a fantastic idea for the cake- if that had been offered to us, I'd have jumped at it! Lovely for it to be a surprise for you too - that and your H2B's outfit- love that idea too (though I wouldn't trust mine to choose his own outfit- he's colour blind and has very little idea about clothes... he'd turn up in green camo shorts and a pink t shirt with an orange and blue shirt over the top!!)

    Surprises... hmmm....that's the thing us brides miss out on, isn't it- no surprises because we've arranged/organised/micro managed pretty much all of it!

    Thanks Smiley smile

    i feel like there's so much we haven't done Smiley sad

    We're making the favours and centre pieces... Can't decide on a first dance song (I'm not massively keen on even having one but OH really is). No idea how to decorate the ceremony venue. Don't want to spend too much as we'll only be there for less than an hour in total. They do have a flag pole and will fly a flag if we provide one! Lol

    It's so true that we don't really get any surprises on the day, so I'm glad we've gone for the cake mystique! We couldn't decide on a design, so that was a no brainer. So glad the lady was available. We weren't originally even bothered about having a cake and were going to go with M&S but glad we didn't now Smiley smile just can't wait to see it!

    Ive also got to get on it and find a florist last minute.

    Arranging a trial with (a very expensive!!) hair and makeup artist, but did go to a friend's house last night and she played around with some styles. For some reason I can't upload the pic from my phone Smiley sad
