One month today! About time I did my first *flash*

Melancholie, 28 November, 2014 at 23:05 Posted on Planning 0 11

One month to go and I haven't flashed anything except my dress and our rings on other people's threads, so I think it must be my turn now! ?

Our venue:



Our rings (we both have an engagement ring):





My dress:


My shoes:


My jewellery (necklace was a gift from my late father, earrings are Mum's bought at the same time, don't have a photo of them, bracelet bought to try and match):



Bridesmaid dress (crap photo, sorry):


Groom's suit (I only have a teaser shot, haven't seen what he's wearing!):


Flowers (silk, so they can be used for both ceremonies) and bouquet charm of Dad:




Hair inspiration and trial:




Cake will be like this (photo of a photo so poor quality) but with a copy of the chocolate sculpture as a topper rather than the mound of roses:



I'm doing my table centrepieces myself and haven't yet done a mock-up (although I plan to so the venue do it how I want it!) so no photos of that, but I have vases (3 different sizes per table) which will have purple stones, lilac and purple flowers under water and a floating candle on top, purple lotus flower shaped tea light holders, purple sparkly tree branches, purple glass tea light lanterns and, for the cake table, a wood cut sign saying 'All you need is love'. We're also having decorated bay trees in the room, like these but dressed in purple:


And just for good measure, a sneaky flash of me in my second dress, bought for our legal ceremony, which is 3 weeks on Monday:


I think that's quite enough of me boring the pants off you all for one night! ?

    Oh when?

    We are next feb - with the church at nostell priory first! Im kinda nervous about it. Heard so many good reviews but part of me wishes we just stumped up the money for Wentbridge house! But the other room for my date is not yet booked so fingers cross ours would be the only one!

    We wanted last year ideally but Rogerthorpe seemed completely booked up - but this year on website they still have Summer saturdays left but I guess this due to the price increase!

    Beautiful, it's lovely to see it all come together isn't it! I don't know what you're hoping for weather wise but your venue looks stunning in that snow!!x

    Thanks everyone. ?

    We're hoping for a light snowfall, although realistically we know it's highly unlikely, as we also think the venue is stunning in snow. Not too much, though, as our two families are based all over the country and the vast majority are more than 2 hours drive away from us!

    We have our final venue meeting today to firm up numbers and details, meeting the videographer on Thursday and our pre-wedding shoot is in two weeks. I suspect these last weeks will fly by in a whirlwind of preparation!
