Ooh hello!!

*sorry if you stalk my wtt thread too*
OMG!!!
Okay a little back story on this... for YEARS, people have been pushing me to enter competitions for my writing, drawing, photographs etc but I never have. I don't DO competitions. If I don't win, I'm left feeling like shit. Like my work is total crap. So I save myself the heartache! I also DEFINITELY don't enter any family or friends ask me to... all I can think of is their disappointment in me when I didn't win.
Anyway, I found an AMAZING cake for £600 (YIKES!!!) on facebook. Well, said cake lady had a competition going the day after I found her. I told Karen (a friend from the group for brides I run on facebook) and she pushed me into it. So after her promising not to hate me if I lost, I entered... only Karen knew. I didn't even tell Colin!
I won!!! I get my cake half price!!! But now I just have to find £300 hahaha!

Hi! My name is Toni Preston and we're getting married on November 10th of this year in Edinburgh (EH16 6YN).
Our wedding is going to be a mess of red, aqua and pale blue, polka dots, owls and toadstools with the occasional russian doll and day of the dead skull thrown in. My bridesmaids are in Vivien of Holloway-style polka dot dresses, my men are in suits with BRIGHT shoes and equally bright polka dot bow ties. My buttonholes are a mess of pinwheels, owls, polka dots and toadstools.
Our cake? We want it the same. A mess of detail. A real show stopper. Detailed as crazy with as many elements of our wedding included. The cake is one of the most important parts of our day and, as we're on a budget of just £2500 for EVERYTHING, we're doing everything we can to show people that you don't need a £30k budget to have a fan-bloody-tastic wedding. But sometimes? Sometimes you need a little help and that's where, I'm hoping, you come in!

Thank you!!
Okay, we're having a 3 tier cake (10", 8", 6") that'll be decorated like this but instead of the roses, it'll be all our wedding elements. So owls, pinwheels, toadstools etc etc.
We just have to decide what we want the banner to say.
Then on top? A human-sized solid chocolate skull painted like a sugarskull
I am SO excited!!!

this is so random, but I'm having dresses for my bridesmaids from Vivienne of holloway too! we're having the pencil dresses in black probably-I'm taking the girls to the shop in London in september sometime to try them on properly. they are really gorgeous!
your plans are really coming along now

Thank you very much!
Tonights wedding buys:
Napkins.
Favours.
The mens bow ties.
Red polka dot masking tape. I have a couple of plans for these. Plan A, I'm not sure is going to work so I'm saying nothing! If there's enough left after Plan A, Plan B is to use them to seal our invite envelopes.
I've wanted this for years
This was bought just because I wanted it tbh... although, if you talk to Colin, it was bought as wedding decor 
Supplies to make our ceremony backdrop.
Card box.
Bridesmaids necklaces.
The mens socks.
2 pairs in red, for our first look photos.
