Hello ladies ,

I'd thought i'd have a go at doing a little flash of some wedding planning for our Casual Shabby Chic home made wedding....... what do you think? x

There big pics but i cant make them smaller.........


The Venue is a barn/tearoom, we are having light pink bows.......


Monty the campervan is taking us there.......


Our lovely friend is making us a campervan cake - bit like this idea......


I did this as a test run, its for the signing table thing


Ive been messing with jam jars to make centerpieces.......


Wood I got for free from the local tree surgeon - for table etc, currently drying in my dads cellar......


Camper van favours - to be filled with sweets


Little flags to go in teacups filled with marshmallows


Ive been collecting loads of tea cups from charity shops


Bottles for pink lemonade - i'll put a pretty luggage tag on too.


Home made card case


Something like this for grooms buttonhole


Best man and my dads button hole - bit like this - made from herbs


last but not least......... THE DRESS. I'd have the bows tied as one at the back though.


I just love my dress!!!

Hope you like my planning ladies xxx

    Have also started collecting glass jars, any size and shape... the more the merrier Smiley smile Not quite sure what to do with them yet though... Candles, flowers, pebbles...

    Your dress is gorgeous and i love your cloudy leamonade idea. My fav are your botton hole flowers though, they are perfect

    I realise this is late comment but had to say I love it all. We're going for shabby chic/vintage meets modern (venues are modern but everything else including my dress is vintage or vintage style).

    Where did you get the camper van favour boxes? They are fab!

    Lovely ideas- I am biased though as I had camper cans and tea cups at our wedding!

    Also, lots of love for your Cath Kidston tablecloth.

    I recognise your venue and car from a couple of years ago (my daughter cancelled her wedding). She had booked Monty and Lili. She also liked the barn too but it wasn't quite big enough.
