My Galactic Staffordshire Wedding

[Gwizz]

Ok so might be throwing colour scheme out the window ... im not sure the teal will go well with the opulence of the ceremony room etc ...

Got a wedding fayre at venue tomorrow so going to take lots of photos for ideas and to get a better clue on what will go.

3 More brooches ....

Im hoping to get married soon, your venue looks gorgeous, where is it? You have such lovely creative ideas x

 

[MummyCat]

Hmmm... I hope you get some inspiration! Those brooches are lovely!! Where are you finding them? and on average how much are they costing you??

Heya Dimples :wave: whats your real name if you dont mind me asking so I can be polite

Im wondering if ive put correct venue up ... i will sort it but its here hun: https://www.hawkesyardhall.com/

Cath ebay alot plus some charity shops .. most are about £1-2, Im refusing to pay more than £5 for a big one including postage. Some have been given to me , some also ive had from grannies etc lol. Ive got to buy the wire yet and the extra to make the handle posh.

Wedding budget seems to have been blown a little good thing is as alot is pay as we go it wont be such a big hit but still more than we'd like but then I only get this day once (and he has his 3D tele!!!! )

Sorting wedding cars now, this is the one im thinking of atm ... just need to get deposit from steve tonight did want a grey one but they werent exclusive hire and i didnt want stress of running over time, paying extra etc etc. Both my mum and his mum have now offered to pay for my car so they can fight it out!

...its not feeling very 'galactic' atm ... i seem to be going more vintage! lol Maybe its a vintage star wars

 

[MummyCat]

That car... out the front.... AWESOME!

Star wars with a touch of class! X

 

[Gwizz]

I didnt realise the Beauford wedding cars are actually kit cars .. this particular one used to be a ford cortina lmao!!

Im not sure what else i need to book this early? I know i need to find a chair cover company thats available.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I'm loving the car ... but then again I'm biased as it is VERY similar to ours

I absolutely adore the venue! It's amazing hun! X

 

[Gwizz]

Fanks!!!

I just need everyone praying for the good weather lol!

 

[MummyCat]

YES...I need SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jms895]

I have that wedding car hun in gold

Lovely pics its a gorgeous venue!

 

[Gwizz]

ty!!!!!

Cool car isnt it

Im liking the idea of golds and whites now :/ god im in a right pickle with colour schemes. Steve insists on a dark grey suit. I did have a gold, grey and ivory scheme at one point ... but I still like the teal?

Im not having chair covers in the ceremony room as the dark red chairs match everything perfectly in there anyway and it would mean paying another £100.

xx

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Pass on the colour scheme I always knew I wanted red/burgandy/wine since I was little. If I was to do it again now I'd go for a purple instead x

 

[Gwizz]

lol yeah I love purples too, in fact i love most colours - i'll just have a rainbow wedding lmao!

x

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Rainbow wedding sounds good to me x

 

[Gwizz]

Trying to arrange first dress try-ing on session for june!!!

Brought 4 more brooches and the florist wire to put them all together ... getting exciting!! Plan to start doing some of it soon then not rushing and can take apart if dont like!

So my beauty trained work collegue is doing my make-up for free also got a daughter of another lady from work who has offered to do my nails and spray tan but im gonna have sunbed tan instead. Need to have a go at that soon and get desired brown look for makeup trial runs! :/ Also another lady who I originally said would help is still available for other beauty things so all good there ... just need hair really ...

Having a poem reading at ceremony by my good friend David ...

Wedding Day

The day of your wedding is a time to reflect
On the things you can hope for
And the things to expect

You could hope for great riches
Huge bundles of cash
But then lose it all
In a stock market crash

Or you could hope for
A life of great ease
With the time and the money
To do as you please

But its better to hope for
The good things in life
Like a long happy life
As husband and wife

Like the smile and the kiss
As you walk through the door
And the baby that wakes you
at quater to four!

And a life of variety
With sunshine and rain
And frosties for breakfast
instead of champagne

Expect times of anger
The occaisonal huff
Because no one annoys you
Like the one that you love

But dont look for problems
That the future may bring
Just to love and be loved
Is a wonderful thing

Lifes not all plain sailing
Not always a ball
But I know you'll be happy
Because love conquers all

by Robert Palmer

Gonna be quite a laugh to have the '3 Dave's' at the wedding ... dave the best man, dave the 'brother of the bride' and dave the usher ... oh and Steve!!!

 

[Gwizz]

Forgot to add have also brought 6 large round mirrors to stand the table centrepieces on from a friend who got married last year - £10 which I didnt think was bad

x

 

[jms895]

Lovely poem hun!

I am so indecisive (hence 2 dresses LOL) and now sort of change my mind over the purple too. But am having champagen/ivory chair sashes on white now so its not tooooo purple and lilac in my flowers. I LOVE teal and sort of wish I would have had that but decided i am having it in my kitchen LOL

 

[Gwizz]

We could swap - u have teal and i'll have purple!! My kitchen and dining room are purple

I know exactlly what you mean about the sashes, I think im also going 'neutral' on the chairs with little bits of colour elsewhere - Im thinking pale gold or champagne too. The champagne will match ur 2nd dress lovely Less is more

I want the teal to be more bluey than turq as im seeing alot of colours described as teal but look very bright which is putting me off! Im sure mine will all come together in the end and either look fab or shite!

Saw these yesterday ... Been wondering about buttonieres as im not having flowers i thought the men might look odd (or me looking odd) if we are different ...

I think they are quite fab and futuristic, geek alert ... crystals to represent the light saber crystals! Will cost more to make about £8 a pop compared to standard rose type button hole but i think could look great next to brooch bouquet. I would have own ribbon lace round it to tie in, They even suggested on website to add an LED throwie - the crystal could lightup like a lightsaber - perhaps for the evening! Anyway I'll keep looking but all good ....
