Poppy's planning thread *FLASHES*

Poppy_24, 4 April, 2016 at 17:18 Posted on Planning 0 18

Hello Everyone! I thought I'd copy Emmy1102 doing a 5 months to go thread! Plus I love reading everyone else's threads with flashes so I thought I'd join in. It was 5 months to go on Saturday for us, time is flying by. We got engaged last May when OH surprised me with a weekend away in Paris, I could waffle on about it for ages, but I wont! It was completely the opposite of what I thought I wanted from a proposal (public, planned, 'cliche' romantic place) but actually it was just perfect! He knows me better than I know myself.

Anyway, I cracked on with planning pretty much straight away once we'd discussed dates, and the big day is September 2nd this year. Here are a few flashes of bits I've put together, you can tell I often screenshot bits and bobs on my phone, I can be wedding addicted!

My ring on the night we got engaged!


Flowers I saw in a flower market in Paris, which quickly kicked off my wedding inspiration:


Our venue:




Our invite inspiration, ours were the same but in blues and greys:


Bridesmaid dresses:


My dress, on the model:


The back of my dress on me, with veil:


My shoes, but in ivory:


My hair inspiration:


My bouquet inspiration:


Cake inspiration, combining the two, rough iced, with lavender and flowers:



Favours, I think I've figured out how to make them myself:


General decor ideas:







Sorry that dragged on a bit, it was a bit self indulgent!! It is lovely putting it all together!

    This is all gorgeous! Love your rusticy theme (similar to what we're going for!) Where's your venue? It all looks like it's coming together nicely. Where did you get your bridesmaid dresses from? They're gorgeous! Hope you're feeling nice and relaxed with all that sorted!! ?

    This is all beautiful! Congratulations! I'm also curious as to where your bridesmaid dress is from as I'm currently looking for something similar?

    It all looks so wonderful! Your dress is gorgeous but with the veil really makes it. I am not creative at all and well done on making the candles very impressive.

    I've seen similar dresses being sold by Elsie's Attic. Their dresses are all gorgeous and not badly priced, might be worth checking out?

    It all looks fab. I love the flamingos on the chalkboard! I was really tempted to hire some pink flamingos for our venues lawn but managed to rein myself in!

    Thank you everyone, it is lovely seeing it all together, and nice to hear other people think it'll look good together too. I've been having a couple of dress wobbles, so thanks for those comments too Smiley smile

    Emmy you're right, I did originally see them on Elsie's attic, but when I went onto the site they didn't have the sizes I needed. So I did a bit more research and discovered that most of the dresses on there are actually by a brand called Little Mistress. They've got their own website but are also stocked in various shops, we got ours through Very. They have got some lovely dresses, many of them on Elsie's Attic, and my bridesmaid dresses are good quality and look lovely on, so I wouldn't hesitate ordering from them again.
