Arpee's six month very flashy FLASH thread!!

Arpee, 12 February, 2016 at 11:17 Posted on Planning 0 15

Our wedding is 6 months tomorrow so it's flash time! You might have seen some of this before on my 1 year to go post, but I've got a fair bit of new stuff to show you now ?

The English country garden for our ceremony:



The barn next door for our wedding breakfast (I found a photo of a photo with it all set up!):


My dress - model picture is rubbish but I am loathe to use a photo of me, even with my face blurred out, just in case H2B sees it!


My hair inspiration:


Make-up - I usually go for smoky/purple eye make-up and I want to look like me on the day, so smoky it is!


Groom's outfit - he and his groomsmen are all wearing jeans, waistcoats, shirts and ties, and H2B might wear a jacket too:


My crochet bouquet, this is a very rough prototype and will look more polished on the day!


H2B's car - he is passionate about Mercedes SLs, and is getting something similar to this for the weekend:


Rings - he's having a matt finish ring, and I'm having a polished wishbone ring like this one, made by a lovely jeweller, shaped to fit round my ER:




Stationery inspiration - a dear friend is making our stationery with us and I'm so excited to see the finished article!


As we're having long tables rather than round ones, we're not having centrepieces as such, but we'll be putting lots of jars of flowers and candles down the middle, a bit like this:


And last but not least, cake! I am making a naked cake for us to cut, and we're asking guests to bake something for our Great Wedding Bake Off:

    Oh it's all so pretty! I love the fact your men are in jeans rather than full suits.

    It's all gorgeous. Like the men in jeans and that cake is making my mouth water. My SIL always wears smokey dark eyes and quite reddish lipstick. She stuck to it for her wedding day and looked stunning.

    Can't wait to see all your wedding pics.

    Wow! It all looks gorgeous. I really like that you're having long tables rather than individual ones. Your bouquet is beautiful, really love that it's handmade and bespoke to you. You're going to have an amazing day! Smiley smile

    Looks beautiful and love the bake off idea.

    Could I ask where you got the waistcoats? X

    The above photo is just an idea I found on Pinterest, but I've seen plenty - M&S, Moss Bros, Slaters, EWM, and more specialist places like Tweed Addict and Victor Valentine. H2B hasn't chosen the definitive one yet.

    How are you making yours Kizzi? What type of flowers are you making, is it all crochet or a mixture of crochet and real flowers? Give us a flash!

    Only just trying out a few flowers to see what they look like ?. Picked up a couple of books on Amazon and going for a mix of white daisies, buttercups, something ink, something cornflower-like in blue and maybe some red poppies. Not 100% sure yet, but will all be crocheted if it looks ok.

    Going to extend the theme and crochet blue flowers to go on the invites, I think...

    Will certainly flash when I've got something more definite ?
