Aww thank you, ladies! I'm so, so happy with it! It's was packed away with my mum though and now hanging up in her wardrobe to hide it from prying eyes!

I also just realised I forgot to post my hair trial with my veil! I forgot to get photos with the veil and the dress I'm at my mum's on Sunday so will try it on again then!

This was just a quick "I've no idea what I'm doing with the back but I want it messy so I'm just going to pin it" idea. I think, if I pin higher so the mess starts directly behind the bump so it's without the space in between it might look better. Then I can tease the hanging strands a bit so they're messier/bigger?

Your wedding is going to be amazing! You have done excellent planning so far, and everything looks so quirky and fun! I wish I had the patience you seem to have for all of the little projects, your wedding will be here before you know it!

Thank you so much everyone!

I've been doing a bit of invite design today... Found a couple I liked on etsy but not enough to buy them. Plus, it's way cheaper to do myself. So I took those 2 designs and tweaked them quite a lot to get these. I'm just going to post my favourite one. I really think we might go with these.

Thank you ladies!

We signed up to lovefilm just over a month ago. There was a deal on that if you sign up and use the 30 day free trial then pay for one month (£4.99), you get a free amazon voucher for £20. We received that voucher this morning and bought a retractable lead for the puppy and a heart shaped pom pom maker for the back of the chairs in the wedding meal.

We're having white chair covers with pale/pastel blue sashes and red yarn heart shaped pom poms hanging down from the middle of the bow at the back.

We already have the round pom pom makers in 2 sizes and I used the larger one for the bridesmaids bouquets and they are so easy to use. To get a pom pom the size I wanted for the bouquets, it took me about 4 hours using a cardboard template. It takes about 10 minutes with the maker. I'm really looking forward to receiving the heart shaped one although we don't have the yarn, or money to get it, yet!

Thank you ladies!

Phew, busy busy past few days but that's for my other journal

My mum had bought us a printer for our early easter present and we went to hobbycraft for card so we could finally start making the invitations. I had a trial run last night and I'm really quite pleased with them!

The front of the booklet. That yarn goes from the back, around to the front and wraps around the button to hold it together.

The back of the booklet. Everything needs to be moved slightly to the right!

The heart shaped pom pom maker arrived, too. And we're going to be ordering the materials to make the ceremony backdrop and the sweetie table backdrop this month too. But I don't want to start on anything else until I have my last bridesmaid bouquet done!

These are looking fantastic! If I got one of these for a friends wedding I would be so excited to go purely to experience the theme

Thank you!

I finally got round to putting the finishing touches to my bouquet! I came across the love heart, "love" banner button a couple of days ago and HAD to include it... so it's been hot glued on I also figured out how to wrap the ribbon the rest of the way round and attach the polka dot ribbon in a way that looked good to me. I'm SO happy with it!!

I think my favourite bits are the union jack button, the "love" banner and heart button and the toadstool buttons

I might get my last bridesmaids bouquet done tonight.. if I get the motivation to move

 

[Lubbird]

Love! Is it made entirely out of buttons?

Thank you! It's made from felt flowers, buttons and paper pinwheels
