it's all official - saying "I do" on 20th July 2013 ** venue pics page 59 **

Ordering stationery samples today

I really can't decide what I want, so I think it's best to get as many as I can so that I can see the quality and then decide from there. Though I have to say it's tempting to design my own (but am a bit worried about doing that for some strange reason)

They sound so nice and friendly Emmy, you should definitely go and have a little look around and maybe get an idea of what you would like and what they think will suit you. I think the women that work in these shops have a tremendous ability to pick out a gown that they know will flatter your figure without you even realising it yourself.

I am glad you are feeling a lot more positive about it now! You already know that I love the Alfred Angelo Disney collection and I think Snow White is stunning. I am making an appointment to try on Tiana and I cannot wait!! It will be so much fun to try on a real princessy princess gown!!

I wish I had someone I could drag down to Cardiff with me to try dresses on I'm not sure about taking Nikki with me, and none of the others live in Wales I might get Chris to take us to Cardiff for a night, get an appointment made, he can go off round the shops and I could go to my appointment, but then knowing me I'll freak out I'll have to find someone to take with me

omg I am totally 100% in love with these invitations

[EmmyReece]

[Lisa84]

[EmmyReece]

Okie doke

Half considering getting my cousin across so I have at least one person to come with me for trying dresses on

 

[EmmyReece]

I love, love, love having the wedding out in the open

I've just been able to put piccies of the wedding venue's grounds on facebook and not had to worry about any comments or questions

Have ordered a Makeup Forever HD Foundation to try out as apparently it photographs really well, so I'll give that a go and if I like it I'll be buying another bottle in time for the wedding

They have a gorgeous lip liner that I want to try too but it wasn't in stock this time so will keep an eye out for it. It looks like a gorgeous colour and not too in your face so I think it would be perfect for the wedding

I can see the 3rd one but that's it.

Depending when it is, I'd come with you? Obv I'd have to be off work because of getting the train down.

Been up to much today? xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

Argh my phone is being stupid, for some reason it won't display text properly, so I can't even see what I'm typing I'll update properly tomorrow when I can get on the computer xx

 

[EmmyReece]

its working again, I've been dying to get on bnb all afternoon

Vici hun I'd love it if you would come to cardiff with me to try dresses on

I've been thinking, and I want a way to honour all the people who should be with us and who we'll be thinking of. So I'm thinking of setting up a photo table, getting pics of them, putting them in some nice frames and then putting some candles on the table with them.

Also I've been thinking of decoration ideas for the venue, and I've spotted little paper chinese lanterns that have a solar powered bulb in them. I'm going to get some for outside, to light the paths, and then for the bit in the woods I'm going to get some lanterns that are normal battery powered so people can go for walks after sunset if they want to

 

[EmmyReece]

Oh and tomorrow I'll do some screen shots of the invitations as for some reason the stoopid links aren't working

 

[EmmyReece]

Ok yet another post from me

Here's pics of the invitations that I'm considering

 

[Lisa84]

We are thinkin of chinese lanterns but purely for the photo op lol

i really like the horseshoes ones xx

 

[EmmyReece]

I was thinking solar powered fairy lights around this gazebo type thing and along the walkway and in the dark it would look AMAZING on photo!!!

 

[Lisa84]

It would look lush hun. A photo as the sun is setting with the lights on would be nice xx

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm writing them all down as I think of them or get suggestions ready to drive the photographer nuts with

Have been writing lists all day

 

[Tiff]

They love stuff like that! The more you can tell them what you want the easier it is for them to give it to you. Its the wishy-washy ones who hem and haw and are vague that drive them nuts. My friend is a photographer and that's her biggest complaint. People who don't tell her what they want then get upset when she doesn't provide it.

Keep those lists comin'!

:wave:
Love the invites, really cute.

It's such a lovely idea about having the photos xx

 

[EmmyReece]

The new battery and charger hasn't come through for my mac, so it looks like I'm stuck on my phone until my brother gets up and I can nick his charger for a bit (the battery on mine works if I have a power source, but only if its plugged in)

I'm going to have a nosey on ebay later for some little blue glass things to put in the bottom of goldfish bowls as centre pieces. Wanted to fill it with water too, put some lillies in to float, and then maybe have helium balloons weighed down in the middle? Its really hard to describe what I mean, will see if I can find a pic on google
