My Planning So Far....

location:

Tythe Barn, Priston mill....




My dress ( although this one is on someone else - i couldn't copy from the website) It's Stephanie Allin's Gina, in duchess.


thank you VHC - this is my dress ( on someone else again! but a better picture)





My shoes are CL's FIFI' they're so high!! i also got the blue diamente " I DO" to put underneath




Our cakes - waitrose cupcakes 96 = £100


my wedding ring is from Fraser hart and is a half eternity ring, set with princess cut diamonds, to match my engagement ring ( a single princess cut diamond)

The night before our wedding and our wedding night we are staying at The priory hotel, in Bath,

As we're having a winter wedding there will be LOTS of candles and flame torches lighting the pathway to our venue.

My H2B's present is a nicola Grimshaw shoot and a coulston Mccleoud limited edtion print (PS i love you) There is also a firework display which is a surprise for him too.

 

i am now on a mission to find a better picture of my dress to upload!

 

All looks lovely

 

is it this dress?

it's lovely

 

I love the dress and CLs! I would love to get some, but I'm a wimp and couldn't spend the whole day wearing towering heels (not to mention I'd be about 6 feet tall!)

 

oooh yes its that dress!!!



i will upload it now!! thank you.



Becky, i will be around 5'11 in my shoes but as Ed is quite tall it doesn't matter to me. It also helps with the fishtail on my dress - it looks much nicer when i am in heels xxx

 

the dress is stunning and OMG how on earth are you gonna manage to walk in them shoes????

sarah

 

Wow your shoes are sooo high!!! All looks fab

 

Aah everything looks amazing hun!!! Your dress & shoes are GORGEOUS!!!! xxx

what about bridesmaids?

 

ooooh just coming to put our invitations up (from Bijou woo)

But firstly - birdesmaids - we got them dresses while we were in Bali... i will try and upload pictures soon ( but only of me in the dresses - because we live in NZ at the mo).

While i was back in the UK in April we got them beautiful shoes from LK Bennett and gorgeous winter shrugs from there too (And for me!)

i have 3 bridemaids and a flower girl - they have a gorgeous green dress with bright pink shoes (sounds hideous but looks a.mazing! don't worry!)


ok invites... day



evening

 

just wanted to Ad - the front page has more green butterflies then blue ones though - we had them changed! x





192 days to go - i am sooo excited! x

 

Yay!!
Another Stephanie Allin girl!
It drives me crazy that you can't download the pics on her site.
Loving the shoes. I fell in love with a pair of CLBs, but didn't want to be THAT tall.

 

what does it say on your gift list bit?
i can't read it!

they're really beautiful.

 

gorgeous invitations

 

Jess they are gorgeous! Lucky thing! xxx

 

Wow those invites are beautiful! I want some!

 

The pictures i posted of the invites are just from the bijouwoo website - they don't have our details on them, but we used them as a guide...

for example we had, "together with their parents, Mr Edward P and Miss Jessica A would like you to join them in celebration..." etc

We also put a digital map in, and details fo the hotel where i negotiated a special price for the night of our wedding as well as taxi info.

Our gift list info (the number and how to buy from it) which it at John Lewis.

Shari - who owns Bijou Woo is the most lovely lady and i met her completely randomly on a beach in the middle of New Zealand (depsite us both being british!) i had already fallen in love with her website and the conversation whent something like this


blah blah, " no i am looking forward to going back to the UK as Ed and i are getting married" - me
Shari " ooh how exciting - asks for more details - i have a wedding stationers"
Me - " how nice... i actually have already fallen in love with some stationary - just need to recheck our budget. i think we're ok - they are by bijou woo"
Shari " Bijou woo is my company"
Me - OH MY GOD YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL/MODERN/CONTEMPORARY etc etc - i was AMAZED!


i am hoping to also have orders of the day made, a table plan, table places and table names in the same style.

If anyone does email her for more info, could i be cheeky and ask you to mention me? i don't get anything for it - i just want her to know i am reccomending her! x

 

i just realised i have some more stuff to put on my planning page!!

Stephanie allin don't have my exact dress on their website (as you get to pick the silk you want)...

It turns out my friends friend also got married in Gina (this was discovered after a long fb chat!) so she sent some pictures of her dress over for me to oggle at in the cold NZ nights (it is winter over here at the moment!) so...

Ta-Dahhhh (not my dress - AGAIN!)

 

A lady on Etsy is making my bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids poseys, they are coming from America.

She sent me these pictures the other day (for more oggling!) - i tihnk they're nearly finished! whoop!
