Love the mens shoes!

Really, really wonderful!

Lovely, can't beat a bit of sparkle! You're lucky your hubby to be goes for all that, I know mine would have put his foot down so I am trying to sneak in a few sparkles where I can! Your theme is great, love the star details on your stationary.

Looks fab seems to be similar colours to us. Love all your ideas. ?

It all looks amazing. I love the BM dresses and the shoes your OH has picked out, they're fabulous.

Hiya ladies - thanks for all your lovely comments

Reading One:

No Matter What (Debi Gliori)

"Small was feeling grim and dark. He was playing toss and fling and bang and crash. Break and snap and bash and batter. Small said “I’m a grim and grumpy little small and nobody loves me at all”. “Oh Small,” said Large. “Grumpy or not, I’ll always love you no matter what.”

Small said, “If I was a grizzly bear would you still love me would you still care?” “Of course,” said Large “bear or not, I’ll always love you no matter what.”

Small said “But if I turned into a bug, would you still love me and give me a hug?” “Of course,” said Large “bug or not, I’ll always love you no matter what.”

“No matter what?” said Small, and smiled, “What if I was a crocodile?” Large said “I’d hug you close and hold you tight and tuck you up in bed at night”.

“Does love wear out” said Small, “does it break or bend? Can you fix it, stick it, does it mend?” “Oh help,” said Large “I’m not that clever I just know I’ll love you forever”.

Small said “but what about when you’re dead and gone, would you love me then, does love go on?” Large held Small snug as they looked out at the night, at the moon in the dark and the stars shining bright.

“Small look at the stars – how they shine and glow, but some of those stars died a long time ago. Still they shine in the evening skies. Love, like starlight, never dies”.

READING TWO:

On Your Wedding Day

Today is a day you will always remember

The greatest in anyone's life

You'll start off the day just two people in love

And end it as Husband and Wife

It's a brand new beginning the start of a journey

With moments to cherish and treasure

And although there'll be times when you both disagree

These will surely be outweighed by pleasure

You'll have heard many words of advice in the past

When the secrets of marriage were spoken

But you know that the answers lie hidden inside

Where the bond of true love lies unbroken

So live happy forever as lovers and friends

It's the dawn of a new life for you

As you stand there together with love in your eyes

From the moment you whisper 'I do'

And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real

May success find it's way to your hearts

Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys

But today is the day it all starts.

It all looks lovely and well co ordinated and I love your mood boards, what did you use to create them?

Everything looks so lovely and coordinated ? And we are venue twins, I am getting married there next June.

Hiya - I just used word, pasted all the pictures in and positioned them where I wanted them then took a screen shot xxxx

Oooh wow another Easthampstead Park bride to be Did you go the wedding fair end of January, you seen all the redecorating they are doing at the mo - it's going to look even more amazing xx

I missed that wedding fair but I went to the one in September. I've been keeping up with their redecorating on facebook, it does indeed look exciting ?

I have the same engagement ring as you and absolutely love it and so does everyone else. It just sparkles all the time. We are getting married on 15th June 2013 which is also my birthday and can't wait we are also having the same colour blue although gonna have trouble I think getting the dresses for the BM's as a couple of them are very large chested. Loved the ones in BHS but don't think they come in big enough sizes for their chest's lol.

Oooh yay engagement ring twin It's such a beautiful ring I love it. Was trying on wedding rings and had three sparkly rings on at once and I loved it - roll on the wedding ring and the eternity ring hehe!!! What sort of a wedding ring are you thinking about having??

It all looks lovely. Your venue looks amazing.

All looks very nice

Hey hun, where do u hire the three italian job mini's ??? H2B loves Italian Job ! xx

Hiya Here's the link:

They cover the whole country

Grrrr - weddings are such emotional things. I find myself having massive highs when things get booked and I buy things and it all comes together and then massive lows when things don't work out......

Today is as follows:

MASSIVE HIGH - spoken to our amazing photographers and they are staying on till 12:30am so they can capture midnight and the fireworks And they threw in some freebies. If you are looking for a photographer I can't recommend them enough:

MASSIVE LOW - had an email from the Mini hire people to say they can't do our wedding now Haven't broken the news to H2B yet as I know he will be a bit gutted as was really looking forward to that!!! Back to the drawing board on that one.....ho hum

xxxx

I had exactly the same theme for my first wedding and it looked awesome (even if I do say so myself ?). Your pics look brilliant and I'm sure your wedding will do too.

Echo the photographer recommendation, lovely talented ladies.

Here's a few alternatives for the cars.

Everything looks wonderful, well done you

Love this! We need more planning threads! Your flashes are very professional looking. You are very organised. I've just got items bookmarked and lists all over the place!

Ps. Love the sparkly shoes your OH wants!!

It all looks wonderful, I want to be a guest lol!

Awww loving all your comments ladies I love a planning thread as much as the next person, nice to keep all my thoughts together as well hehe!!

So I've broken the bad news about the minis to H2B and he's a bit sad, going to look around for some alternatives. To cheer him up I have just ordered THE SPARKLY GROOMS SHOES ? So excited to see them in the flesh - haven't even sorted my own shoes out yet haha.

So last night I had a play with some fortune cookies and chocolate....what do you guys reckon??

Basically dunked in white chocolate and some sparkly glittery stars - they are very yummy and tie in with our New Year's Eve theme as everyone will get a fortune We fell in love with the little chinese takeaway boxes we saw at a wedding fair, think they would look cute inside them, not sure if it's a waste of money though - was thinking it would be nice to have people's names on them and to have a little personal message to each guest Will have to research prices....this is what they look like.

That's all for now - back soon xxxx

They look great! For some reason when you said 'chocolate' I envisioned milk chocolate, doh. White chocolate is definitely the way forward.
