My new wedding planning thread - 20th July 2013 here we come

No new ideas as of yet

We're going to have a look in turkey for our wedding rings, but if we can't find anything that we like then I'm going to see if I can persuade Chris to buy me a new engagement ring This one he got me when we first got engaged is all bent out of shape and as it was just a cheapie from argos that's part of the reason why I refuse to buy our wedding rings from there like my idiot of an aunty told me to

The photos for the men's favours have arrived already

I got Chris to open the parcel as I had it sent to mum's and I've been having a few days at home while he's been at work. He says they look really good and that I should be really happy with them

So in a few weeks time, I think I'll order the actual keyring parts and get them made and put away safely so that I don't have to worry about them

Thought I'd better update in here as I've made a bit of a dent in some of the planning / buying

Flower Girls

I've decided that I want them to have lovely frothy tutus in yellow and a white vest top. I've been recommended someone on facebook so have sent her a friend request and then will wait until next year before ordering them because of sizes etc

Imagine this type of tutu in yellow

Then I want them to have crochet style headbands with a yellow polka dot bow attached, like this but in yellow and with a yellow polka dot bow

Then I have ordered them a bracelet each using the large beads in royal blue, the smaller ones in yellow, a large butterfly charm and the silver cube letters

Personalised bracelet

Bridesmaids

I'm still set on the same dresses as before, but hair accessory wise I'd love to find blue polka dot bow headbands that match the colour of their dresses. I'm not having much luck with that at the moment, but I have plenty of time to find them or look into getting them made

My Makeup

I'm umming and aahing over whether I really need a makeup artist. At the moment I have fairly good skin, sometimes have a few blemishes, but who doesn't? And basically the price that I'd pay for some new bits of make up that I'd be able to use for a while is pretty much what I'd be paying the make up artist, so I'm thinking about cancelling her.

love your ideas the little tutus are gorgeous

That photo you posted for the tutu is actually just a petticoat!

That's what came up when I googled for it, and pink/white/red/etc ones of them came up when I searched for tutu on ebay too, I haven't been able to find yellow ones yet, but have been told that the lady who's been recommended to me does beautiful ones in yellow

These are the ones I'm getting for the flower girls

aww they are gorgeous too cute

Centrepieces have changed

I'm going to buy tall milkshake / ice cream glass and put blue glass nuggets in them, then I'm going to add some yellow flowers and place them on top of a vinyl 50s single record

I saw the idea when I googled for 50s wedding centrepieces and I love it

^^ That sounds SO cool. Do you have a link to photos or anything..?
