My First ***Flash*** !!!

Jade8, 9 August, 2015 at 21:40 Posted on Planning 0 11

Hey girls and guys,

So I have been lurking about for a couple of months now and chatting here and there but now I've got some things together - and I am getting more ridiculously excited by the minute - I wanted to tell you abit about myself and have a little show and tell with you all!

So my fiance and I have been together for 7 years although have known each other all our lives (20 something years!) - moved in together at the end of April and he proposed in May. We didnt want a hugely long engagement so the date is set for 3rd June next year. So far we have confirmed church, registrar, reception venue, photographer, transport, and my dress. Our colour scheme is dunky pinks/purples with touches of ivory and we are going for the whole bunting thing. We know that we are going to DIY alot of things including the stationery and all of the bunting. I think I need help for my Pinterest addiction already!

Here's some flashes of what we have organised so far and also some inspiration for the other things yet to be finalised:

My engagement ring


Reception venue at Marwell Hotel (ceremony will be in a local church)



Flowers inspo


Stationery inspo (although we are going to make our own with a white card background rather than brown)


No photos of my dress as the only ones I have of me in it are abit blurry and I'm not looking my best! It's currently in my old wardrobe at my mum and dads house and I am desperate to try it on again!!

Thank you if you've decided to read this far! I am so looking forward to getting to know you all Smiley smile

    Thank you for all of the comments everyone, seeing all of your positive thoughts has made me even more excited and I just want to do wedding-y things all the time!

    And HelenSomerset - I've had such random compliments about my hands since I have been engaged, I've never thought about them before so makes me smile!

    You must be near me because marwell hotel is pretty near me! I didn't look at it though because I was a bridesmaid there as a child and didn't remember it being that nice, but they must have re-done it because it looks beautiful In your pic! Wish I'd looked at it when considering my venues now! (Not that I am not pleased with my venue because I wouldn't change it now :-).

    Love your colours too, and that you DIYing a lot, I'm hoping to do invites etc myself.
