My Galactic Staffordshire Wedding

[MrsPOP]

New stalker :wave: hope you dont mind. I had to check your journal out I bloody LOVE Star Wars! I did say to my DH we could have had a SW themed wedding but it got so complicated. Your brooch bouquet sounds gorgeous

 

[MummyCat]

How long you going for? Still alone?

Hey Mrs P!!!!! :wave:

The wedding started off I was having storm troopers the lot - now I fear its just the table names after the planets lol its sooo hard to subtly do it!!! One of the main things to follow through is the lace from Padme wedding dress and the men will wear a long dress coat

Jade I said for 10 days but steve says 2 weeks - yes alone, the boys are very used to grandma as she looks after them twice a week anyway and my mum is also coming to stay here so the grandma to child ratio will be 1:1 They will stay in our house so not to cause too much upheaveal and I think grandmas are taking them away anyway on a little holiday - spain and centre parcs have been mentioned.

Ive already had a few comments about leaving them, how could I, they couldn't etc etc etc but I have no worries about leaving them - they are in exceptionally safe hands and I trust our mums 1001% Like i've said before MIL is a childrens nurse and my mum ran a playschool for 20 years so they are very children orientated

We plan a trip to eurodisney in 2015 time when Matty can know about it more

So Ive been looking at shoes .... loving these, was gonna go gold (c3-po) then it went to a colour, then to the lace ones from next but now im liking the detailed gold/ivory/lace effect .... what do u ladies think??

Mrs Pop .. do you have a journal???

 

[MrsPOP]

I do yes, I didnt realise I hadnt popped it into my siggy, silly ol' me.

Aw I loved Padme's dress and you're lucky Lace is quite popular at the moment so hopefully you'll get your dream dress.

Are you going to have that gorgeous heavy lace veil? If not how about a circlet tiara? I didnt want a veil or a traditional tiara with a generic bridal updo so curled my own hair and got a circlet from America. My dress was quite medieval and plain and my husband had given me a silver Arwen Evenstar LOTR necklance so I wanted a circlet to match but I also had Padme's style in mind in Attack of the Clones when she and Anakin are on Naboo and she had a circlet on and I loved it.

Kinda feel sorry for those sitting on the Alderaan table with it being all explodey and everything

 

[MrsPOP]

Oh and I vote for the top shoes....gorgeous!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I LOVE the 2nd ones! x

 

[Gwizz]

Lol I was gonna have a mustafar table - stick all the relatives I dont like on the lava planet!!

Veil is the one thing im not sure about - I luckily (or unluckily!!) have natually curly hair long so with a bit of taming can do quite a bit with. Alot longer than that 1st post picture now!

They were in the fields of naboo werent they when she was wearing the circlet, I also love sarahs hair from Labyrinth too ... so many decisions- I think i'll choose dress then see if it needs alot in the hair or just simple

Yours sounds amazing you got a picture anywhere??

Im loving all three - thats my problem and the more I look the more I find - unfortunately not in the sale!!

 

[MrsPOP]

I have pics on fb but have a policy of no pics on BnB

Yeah twas the fields of Naboo, Padme was a well dressed lady indeed!

Ive just told my DH about your wedding, he is UBER jealous!

 

[Gwizz]

Well can I add u on fb then ???

[Gwizz]

Need to find a cake knife to hack the handle off now which is proving difficult!!!

 

[MummyCat]

Oooh... pretty shoes! I like both 1 and 2!

Will the light saber knife creation function as either or both? LOL or will it just be used as a display item?

 

[MrsPOP]

You may

What is the lightsaber for?

 

[Gwizz]

No it wont function as a saber Its a proper miniature replica .45 scale - used as a handle for the cake knife

See above

Request sent

TABLE PLANS ............ enough said lol ... I thought I only have 50 guests so should be fairly easy -- bahhhhhh all the families are odd numbers !!! plus then have to choose 5ft or 6ft tables and then venue only has so many .... got a rough one drawn out anyway its a start. Also drawn a table plan sketch out, like a map of the planets - art isnt my strong point lmao!!!!

Looking at place settings too - think im going for a folded napkin on a charger/plate, wrapped in ribbon/lace with a tag with the persons name on it. Mums managed to get a load of old style vintage keys for free!! which could look quite nice too with the tag attached. Or I might use the keys as part of the wishing tree to hang on with a tag 'key to our heart/married life' kinda thing.

I saw a cool idea of using scrapbook paper pages as placemats - u know the posh scrapbook square u can by from hobbycraft - might be an idea ...

Im getting very bothered about schemes again ... These are the two I keep going back too ...

I love the teals but the ceremony room has yellow walls with red accents and the reception room has taupe walls with red carpet - which suits the brown/gold scheme better

Maybe I could just go the golds, steel greys, ivories with a hint of teal? and try and ignore the red carpet!!!
