My Galactic Staffordshire Wedding

It certainly is.... but I think that you can have items of exquisite beauty without it looking over the top or too much!

For example... I get the impression your dress will probably be quite floaty and possibly more about the material than the sparkly detail... but then you'll likely have a brooch bouquet that will completely contrast and add that detail... without the sparkly bouquet the dress might seem too bland or with too much detail in dress and brooch bouquet you might find it too much sparkle... etc etc.... adding bling in the shoes is ideal.. as it will add highlights... but not over do it!

does any of that make sense????

It'll all fall into place when you start putting it all together... ie... items you really HAVE to have and ones that you can maybe alter to blend in better etc!

LOVE the wishing tree idea!

Ooooh you like lots of similar colours to me
PMSL all Andy is bothered about getting involved in the wedding planning is what he is eating

 

[Gwizz]

Yep as long as they are fed they'll be there

Im gonna check out your colours now never gave it a thought lol!

Cath forgot to say - yep makes sence and i agree lol

Been messing today ....

Thought I could get save the dates printed as photos i.e. using a couple of the 40 free prints and pay £1.49 p&p offers .... could get them all done for £5 on glossy! think it would be ok to have these fairly fun/less formal so people go .... 'what! star wars?!, ur joking' lol most of our families dont know about the side theme

..... the actual invites are gonna cost a fortune!

wont be necessarily this just me playing! ....

So done a spreadsheet for guests - well 2 one for reception and one for evening guests .. columns for invitations sent, food specialities, gifts received, ty cards sent etc etc. Seen as we are getting to the stage of finalising/booking a venue (although still need to visit the one we are thinking/wanting, also seen somewhere else i like look of ) kinda need to know approx numbers Ive got it to between 50-60 ceremony/reception and 100-125 evening reception ....ish

Yesterday I got the highchair out which meant moving the dining room table which meant organising the sideboard .... the amount of stuff we have: fondue set, rice steamer, large worrell thompson juicer, crystal champagne glass set, enamel coffee set, art deco lemonade set, cocktail shaker, sauce warmer for dinner parties, dishes and bowls of all shapes and sizes, solid silver cruet set, two warmers for middle of table when having curries etc - need sod all in the way of wedding presents!!!

Think we will ask for their presence not presents but if they wish to give a gift we would like money towards honeymoon excursions/spas

[EmmyReece]

glad to be of assistance I thought it would save money - I have at least another 20 save the dates to send out, so rather than pay postage twice, just pay it once

 

[Gwizz]

Perfect

Here they are..... ordered 50 - £1.49 total (they are a 6x4 glossy photo finish)
