YAY Charlie!!!
Awk, thank you everyone!! xxxx

***********************************************

I've been on an epic wedding splurge tonight. Oops! But here's what we bought!

Bridesmaid 1's dress

Bridesmaid 2's dress

buttons.

Felt brooches, 5 of these! One for Colin, 1 for the two best men, my brother and the ring bearer.

A brooch for me!

Toadstool fairy lights.

Random, fun Mr & Mrs badge set.

Buttonhole thing for my mum.

The top left blue polka dot one. Owl brooches! 5 of these. 1 for Colin, 1 for my bridesmaids and 1 for my flower girl.

Straws for in the glass jars that are replacing the wine glasses on the tables.

Table runners for the other, "guest" tables. Bought an extra 2 for.. I dunno, the seating plan table and guestbook table? Maybe.

Bunting.

Um... yeah... we thought this would look AMAZING on a table, leaning against a wall. And in our house.

Headband.

Veil.

Jars, but without lids and with the straws in, to replace the wine glasses on the tables.

Records to use as charger plates.

Fuji instax 50s and film.

And we're getting "these" tomorrow. Not THESE but we have an American candy store at the end of the road and they have bottles identical to these. Going to get 10 red and 10 blue for a wee soda bar thing.

... and that's it. There was going to be a LOT more. I had over 80 items in my ebay basket, added once more.... and it magically reset itself to empty. So. Annoyed. But I've just saved a few £££ that's going on nice treats for me and Colin tomorrow/the next few days haha.

it's amazing how much red and blue things you can get! the red bridesmaid dress- i have a dress like that! looks so cute with victory rolls and some nice Tuk heels

Ebay is an amazing place isn't it

 

[xSin]

You're going to have SUCH an amazing wedding!!!

 

[Doodlebug.]

LOVE IT ALL! its gonna look amazing

Where do you find all this stuff!?!

 

[modified]

Thank you! I spend hours on folksy, ebay, etsy, amazon and not on the high street hahah. Our entire wedding is from those 5 stores.

Our mason jars arrived this morning but I missed the courier So they're being redelivered Monday night.

I saw this photo and fell in love.

So I bought this.

We were going to have a sweetie table but, instead, we're going to have a sweetie "display" on this with lots of little knick knacks on the shelves between jars. So the scales will sit on that too.

Bought our Mr & Mrs letters.

And Colin's bow tie.

 

[hopeandpray]

I love everything! That veil is great, where's it from? I would look through the websites you mentioned but I know I'd get carried away

 

[modified]

Haha thanks! It's from etsy

 

[hopeandpray]

Thanks! I love etsy, can't remember the last time I bought anything in an actual shop and not online

 

[modified]

Haha yeah, I've spent about £1000 in the past 24 hours on wedding stuff and random crap... even a pet hedgehog without even leaving the house

 

[pink_bow]

Wow! Your wedding is going to be amazing! I LOVE your tats too xx

 

[modified]

Thank you!!

The first bridesmaids dress arrived... couldn't resist trying it on!

And the first part of the mens buttonholes.

 

[pichi]

the bridesmaid dress is lovely

 

[discoclare]

Hardly ever come on this board since I'm not engaged, but maybe after this baby we might consider a wedding.......

Anyway completely stalking and think everything you have planned / got so far is A-MAZE-ING!! Your venue is so beautiful and I adore your dress and shoes and your eye make-up planes. Well I love it all! good luck with all the planning and the big day!

 

[myasmumma]

nawwww i want to get married again! only...i want you to plan it how cool. you have a new stalker :wave:

 

[modified]

haha thank you! I would LOVE to help someone plan theirs when mine is over

Lots of lovely things have been arriving. It's so exciting! Like Christmas has come early

I don't know if I posted this before? It's the table runner for the top table. Ignore the couch; the cover was off for cleaning! You can see it drying to the right haha.

Other bridesmaids dress. It's a size 18-20 and I'm a size 8-10 in this brand so obviously it's not looking its best on me!

hair band

I'm going to get some red and white polka dot felt and do some DIYing with it

Moomin's brooch arrived. Crap photo!

Random badges. Dunno what we're gonna do with them/where to put them.

Toadstool fairy lights.

Some of the "charger plates".

Jars to replace the wine glasses on the tables.

Little vases. £1 to show size.

Brooches for the girls (and male bridesmaid) in the wedding party.

Cabinet for the sweetie display. We're going to distress the wood or spray paint it and have fabric on the backing of the shelves. We'll also have more sweets and there'll be wee knick knacks between the jars. Alsoooo we'll have a giant cupcake on a cake stand with a glass dome on one shelf and a giant doughnut on a cake stand with a glass dome on another. And bunting across the top. Maybe fairy lights. It's so much prettier in reality.

And how we're "storing" it just now haha!

Expensive but oh-so-pretty bunting.

Film for the camera.

Buttons for my bouquet.

Freestanding letters.

Reclaimed wooden block print. Think we might put this on the table where we sign the register?

I've printed these out to place by each person on each table during the meal. I've fixed the rogue "a"!

Owl my moomin knitted me that we're going to use as a wee decoration bit.

My new veil also arrived and it's a very light pink... the listing did NOT say that! I'm going to try bleaching it.
Also, I'm not wearing it right here. It should be a little looser as it's too tight on my face so it looks a bit odd! I'm not sure if I love or hate it...

 

[pichi]

just noticed you're getting married on what was Pixies due date (10th Nov!) heh. i would so have you help me plan our wedding but it seems FOREVER away. We seem to have the same sorta quirky style

LOVE the new things you've gotten.

 

[modified]
