Hey those cupcake flower cakes - look on youtube! They are not THAT difficult to make really! Get practicing

 

[Gwizz]

lol it'd take ALOT of practise - you'd be better

x

 

[jms895]

I could do a rose but pushing it with the other types! LOL

They are lovely though x

 

[Gwizz]

Been to see another venue ... called The Mill, beautiful gardens with ducks, wooden play area, tented room etc ... very nice , main concern is the carpet in the 'eating room' very patterned and off putting lol ... need to do figures for it but they seem quite flexible with menus too etc .. i.e. we can pick 2 items plus vege option per course instead of only allowed one. No red carpet! quite a few steps too so we'll see .....

 

[jms895]

So have you narrowed the venues down to your favourites?

 

[Gwizz]

nope lol ... all have good and bad points we currently have 6 on a lovely spreadsheet all laid out with prices and other info lol!

Got another contacting me tomorrow to discuss

 

[Gwizz]

Right had enough ... been ringing round like billio (sp?) anyway venues either are slightly over our budget or they then take a gigantic leap into the next level of stately homes that we defo cannot afford. So do not want a small room after a registry office do with all the family that are going to visit, but it looks like we are gonna have to compromise somewhere ... Currently waiting on Alton Towers and Drayton Manor to email me with info - thats how desperate I am ... Im thinking of throwing out a tender and seeing which venues will do me a deal spreadsheet now has 13 venues lol!

 

[MummyCat]

It's never easy finding something that is perfect without a compromise somewhere... so fingers crossed you find one that ticks MOST of the important boxes!

I think you may be on to a winner with the one you sent me!

I googled for some more images and there are lots more options with the grounds and inside it's clean and bright... so photo's wont look cluttered as the backgrounds will be much cleaner! x

 

[jms895]

What will be will be........... you will find the perfect venue hun dont worry xxxx

 

[Gwizz]

hope so, im dreading getting to your stage jade - im worrying and paniking already lol!

Forgot to say I have my garter .. mum brought me hers over so its my something blue and old. Would it be borrowed if im not giving it back in this instance? probably not so will have to think of my borrowed. Also mums has some sixpences so have the 'sixpence for my shoe' which i'll be supergluing one to bottom

 

[MummyCat]

Nice cake! I like the BIG bow detail on the 2nd!

Well technically I think you could get away with it.... oooh.. the sixpence on your shoe.. will it be in the arch on the sole? (Thinking of photographic opportunity! have you seen the HELP ME shoes??? )

 

[jms895]

Tell me about the sis pence... i have not heard of this one.

I dont think i am having a garter not sure.... but i have a blue bow at top of my stockings
i think u maybe need to borrow a lipstick or mirror or something?

 

[jms895]

Ps i like 2nd cake x

 

[Gwizz]

They full saying is: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed,
Something Blue and a Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe.

Although I think putting the coin in your shoe would be rather uncomfortable so im thinking of gluing it underneath .. I have seen those Cath and I want to get a set of the 'I Do' crystals you can get too to put on there! Coin will prob be on inside of heel in that case but you can take a piccy beforehand. I wont be kneeling at an alter so unless im dangling from the chandelier I dont think they'd be seen that often lol!! (u can get the I do crystals in purple jade )

x

 

[jms895]

Are the crystals for the bottom of the shoe? and where on earth do i get the right coin lol?

Type 'sixpence' into ebay - couple quid

 

[Gwizz]

Loving this .... My tables are planet names too and I was getting stuck on centrepieces but these seem a great idea - now to source them lol

Quite nice if they were silver as a centrepiece

Nice but im not helping myself claw back 1k lol!!

 

[Gwizz]

Another idea ...

Each 'planet' different coloured flowers depending on which it is, although this may throw the colour scheme :s

On a roll tonight lol! should be off to bed now as i need an early night ...
