Less than a week - eek! *flashes*

TrixieSaurus, 15 August, 2016 at 00:10 Posted on Planning 0 9

Wedding is on Saturday and it still feels like i have a million and one things to do. Plus I'm waiting on a reply from the pet insurance to see if my cat's £1000 bill will be refunded...

Had my last dress fitting on Saturday and met with our photographer. Great (but tiring!) day in London.

I'm quite excited about my dress.. went from this sample dress:


to this:


My best friend, who up until a few weeks ago i thought wasn't coming, is on her way from New Zealand as I type! I finally get to meet her little girl who just turned a year old!

We've done loads of DIY-ing, so here is a sneak peek of the bits we've made..

Centre pieces:


Favours - these little jars are like mini versions of the centre pieces, double as name card holders and photo holders for photos from the photo booth Smiley smile
:

Table plan:


And some paper flowers (made with the help of the best man too!) which will be mixed with real flowers - calla lilies, fresia and gypsophila:


Just the name cards to write and we're all set I think!

Oh, and OH made our guestbook, and a huge photo frame for people to take pictures! :



I hope the pics don't all come out huge, or tiny!

Have luckily managed to avoid the in-laws if you saw previous posts, so no further drama on that front. Feeling nervous as the day approaches - mostly about them to be honest, whether they say something, to OH or to me, or even any of my family.. but we have sat one of my BM's on that table to keep them in check!

I'm off to bed. Last 3 days at work...

    Love the dress and the adventure book. How amazing the front is being her at towards you! So if oh parents start just smile and ignore them (always annoys people ho are spoiling for a row or to spoil thngs) and go and chat to your friend. Not long to wait now. I hope things are perfect for you x

    Thanks all!

    Kizzi, I am crapping my pants too! haha. Hope you have an amazing day too! Also hope the weather forecast is better for you than it is for us Smiley sad We're still currently looking at 'heavy showers'.

    Have woken up with a massive headache over my left eye (feels like we're headed for a migraine!) and a super sore throat :'( I am literally so run down it's unreal. Can't take any time off work as I only have today and tomorrow to wrap stuff up. Plus my best friend arrived from NZ last night so I'm going to see her tonight. So probably no early night for me!

    4

    days

    to go.

    how the hell did that happen?!

    Sh*t!

    Looked Sunday and it was 'light showers' all with a 40% probability of rain.

    Today there are thunder storms at 7am and a 50% chance of rain at ceremony time.

    Good job I bought a cheap white/clear umbrella from Primark yesterday lol.

    So the weather will be another thing to stress over during the last few days....

    Ladies, take a breath and STOP stressing about the weather..... it's one of the things you really CAN'T control! Whatever the weather does, you won't care once the day comes ?
