Mrslh2b's Big Fat Planning Flash :)

Mrslh2b, 4 August, 2015 at 12:04 Posted on Planning 0 46

Changed to a planning flash as I keep updating it!

Things we have booked / are definite on:

Save The Dates (already sent):

Church:

Reception Venue:

My dress (minus the belt – and the skirt seems to look a lot fuller on me – think it’s because I’m only 5”2!)

Bridesmaid dresses:

My hair band that I will wear with my Mum’s veil:

My friend’s Mum is kindly making my bouquet out of these flowers:

String Quartet who will play at the church:

Vintage Ice Cream Tricycle who will service ice cream during our drinks reception at the reception venue:

Car that will take H2B and his Best men to the church (kindly leant to us and driven by my manager):

Car that will take my Dad & I to the church:

Our table plan (we will write the actual plan on the mirror in white pen)

Boxes for our favours (will be filling these with fudge made by MiL2B):

Shoes:

Centrepieces:

My Ring:

H2B's Suit:

The Amazing flowers made out of icing that we will have going down the side of our cake (having 3 tiers, chocolate, lemon drizzle and victoria sponge):

We will also have baskets filled with welsh cakes and pasties outside the church for our guests (if the vicar will let us that is!)

Other ideas:

Table name holders (tables will be named after musicals we have both seen together):

Hair inspiration:

    WOW!!!! Love your reception venue, its beautiful. ?

    Really like the idea of having a vintage style ice cream cart and the mirror table plan - did you decorate the outside of the mirror yourself of did you buy it already done??

    Thank you Smiley smile we did the table plan ourselves - got the flower heads from eBay and used a glue gun to attach them all. Took a while but we had a laugh doing it Smiley smile x

    As others have said, both your venues are beautiful.

    Absolutely love Welsh cakes - delicious! My friend from Cardiff had them as favours for her wedding (heart shaped) and they went down a storm.

    Thanks Karen – so glad to hear someone likes the table plan becayse my MoH’s fiancé said he thought it looked tacky so been a bit worried but glad to hear others like it!

    Also I keep meaning to ask every time I see your profile picture – what’s your pug called? I absolutely adore pugs and have been nagging H2B to get one for yeeeears!

    Aw, thank you! She's called Minnie, and she's absolutely adorable and totally daft! They make great pets, the only downside is that I will never get used to how much hair she sheds - invest in a good hoover!

    This is gorgeous, love the church and venue. The car for the men, nice one!

    I love how it's half traditional and other half quirky, think that's really nice.

    Everything looks awesome! Time is flying isn'it it?!

    By the way, your centrepieces - did you spray paint those yourself? If so where did you get the paint, they're perfect colours!

    We did indeed Smiley smile it's from B&Q :

    /departments/skip17a-colours-metallic-effect-spray-pa/172003_BQ.prd

    We got it in this colour and a gold colour too - We're going to have to top them up though before the wedding due to scratches etc, going to try and find like a protective spray I can put on the top, thinking I might even try hair spray??

    Hi!

    That venue is lovely! I'm from Cardiff so had a look online at the Pencoed Estate when trying to find venues, unfortunately it was a bit too pricey for us :-(

    Are you having the chiavari chairs too? I really would like them but can't seem to find any cheaper hire that around £3.50 per chair.

    Your dress looks stunning, I need to go and get some appointments sorted as not looked yet! getting married in November. Where are you hiring the suits from by the way? I like the shade of grey and fit.

    Look forward to seeing your other flashes! x

    Hey! I do love Pencoed House Estate but I agree it is pricey – the only way we could afford it was by going for a weekday package (our wedding is on a non-bank holiday Monday) rather than having a weekend as we would have preferred. Yeh we’ve gone for the chiavari chairs too - £5 a chair as we are only allowed to use the ones supplied by Pencoed House. Have you tried chairs and bows? I’m sure they said they do them for cheaper? We’ve hired the suits from Dyfed Menswear – they’ve got a shop on Whitchurch Road in Cardiff and another store in Newport – they’re really good and have heard a lot of good things about them! Whereabouts is your venue then?? xxx
