My "I can't believe there's only 6 months to go!!" flash!

ShropshireLass, 11 October, 2013 at 10:37 Posted on Planning 0 25

I can't believe 6 months today, we will finally tie the knot!! It's only taken 9 years of togetherness, 2 kids and a dog to get there!! So, in celebration of the half yearly mark, I'm going to do a little bit of a flash of the day so far...

The Church



The Venue



Next to the venue Smiley winking


a vineyard and...


a roman city!

Honeymoon suite


Complementary alpaca


The car


Flower inspiration for centrepieces


Favours (will be made by me)


Bridesmaids


My dress Smiley laugh


My shoes


DIY invitations (all stationary will follow the same design)


I think that should just about suffice!! I'm sure there's more I could flash but I'll leave it at that for now...will possibly update at the 3 month mark though!

    How exciting, only 6 months to go! Everything looks gorgeous, I love the dress and the shoes!

    I am a Shropshire gal too, and I recognise the church, but where is it?! And what is the name of your venue, because that looks familiar too!

    It all looks lovely! Not long to go now - I can't wait to get to the 6 month mark.

    I'm a Shropshire lass too! (Though not getting married there as I now live in Derbyshire)

    Hah, I'm Newport...just down the road! Smiley laugh I've probably walked past you in the shopping centre!!

    We looked at Rowton Castle. It's beautiful but they didn't have the date we wanted & was slightly over budget too (which was kind of a blessing in disguise as we got a bargain package from our venue!) and we know 3 others who have married there in the last 12 months! Thought we'd better have somewhere different!! Jealous though it's like a fairy tale castle!!

    No way! Small world! I lived in Newport with my parents until last October when I bought my own place with OH! I've probably seen you more than once!

    Yeah, OH absolutely fell in love with it (it so far is the only part of the wedding he has absolutely gushed over! so we had to have it!) but we got an absolute bargain with it in our package, and a lot of other stuff was included so it has taken a lot of stress out of the planning. Plus, they had the exact date that we wanted (the date means a lot to us, so it seemed perfect to book our wedding on that day too!)

    Gahh have been waiting for this thread! You already know my opinion on the dress and the shoes (WOBBLE!) but wowsers, look at that bridesmaid dress it is just beautiful. Wedding envy of huge proportions! And you are one month ahead of me - the jealousy continues Smiley winking x

    Thank you for all the lovely replies! Smiley smile

    We only booked in July so only 9 months of planning in total. Can't believe how fast the last three months have gone. I didn't think I was that ahead with the planning but seeing it all down in one place, I'm much more organised than I thought!!

    Lol @ goldpants! In 6 months and a day, it will all be over & you will still have your big day to look forward to...then I shall be jealous!! Smiley winking x

    Wow it all looks lovely. I love your dress and the way that you've tied the colours together in the bridesmaids dresses, flowers and favours is just fab!

    Thanks! I was initially worried about not having a colour scheme but it seems to be working out ok. We seem to have somehow given our wedding a flower theme though...hopefully it'll all look ok together on the day! Thanks again for replies, I feel much more confident about some of our decisions now! (apart from the alpaca...he was always a no brainer!)
