[Lauren25]

Ohh no that's no good about your make up you deffo need to like what they do and I agree gold isn't a natural colour! Did you take any pictures of you with it done ?

Wow how exciting that you done the menu yourself, I bet your so excited to eat it all on the day!!

Not long to go now

My favours have arrived!!

They are lovely in real life, I am so happy with them







I am going to fill them with these -

 

[CatStorey]

Also my Shoes arrived today. Their fab!

Not your typical bridal shoes by a mile but I really really like them!

I wanted to go totally sparkly and these def are Would live heels but my OH is a short arse so have to stick to flats.

My dress is super long so people will only really see them if I show the off.

 

[Lauren25]

Those little favour bags are so gorgeous, where are they from?
And the shoes they are lush!

Have you got much left to do now?

 

[CatStorey]

Thanks hun x

They are from 'Not on the High Street'. Sooooo many nice things on their, I could spemd a fortune!!

You can have whatever you want written in the hearts as well as the badges.

Another little purchase that arrived last week was this -



Its a wooden plaque hand painted with our names and wedding date on. Its so lovely!!

I'm going to hang it on our wall after the big day. But for the wedding I want to display it on either a wooden easel or something like this -

You've got some lovely finds I adore Not on the Highstreet, I could spend a fortune there! It's my go to for presents, I've got loads of personalised things for Rory and OH from there.

 

[CatStorey]

Thanks xxx

I spend hours at work browsing that website. I love it

 

[CatStorey]

My cake is being mad by a local lady. I am actually in awe of her as she has 3 boys, works full time AND bakes the most amazing cakes

She's done Chloe's birthday cakes for the past 2 years. I found her originally on Facebook and she is really reasonably priced.

I'm going to have 20 cupcakes and an 8" round Chocolate cake covered with white icing on top.

They will hopeful look like this

 

[emyandpotato]

Bloody hell! How do people have that kind of patience?! Those buttons though! Amazing.

 

[CatStorey]

I'm having a bit of a subtle button theme running through the wedding.......I love buttons!!!

Chloe has her button bouquet, I'm having buttons on the cake and I'll have buttons on the place cards.

There a bit crappy, I wasn't going to have them really as there isn't any need only being 15 of us. But I got a bit carried away and ordered these. They were only cheap and then I've got a random selection of buttons I will stick on to the top of each one.

 

[Lauren25]

Love the button theme, something so different but so pretty!
Those cakes look so beautiful!

I really need to get looking on Not on the Highstreet again for wedding things, always forget!

 

[CatStorey]

Eeeeeeeeeee!!! Can't wait!!! Had an email last night from the lady making the bouquets, buttons holes ect and she said she is nearly finished She is going to bring them to me in 2 weeks. Just want to see them!!

Also going to visit the venue for our reception meal in 2 weeks on Saturday 15th. Want to run through the plan, explain where I want everything putting like the cake, favors etc with the wedding planner. Can't wait to see the place again.

One job I really need to do and haven't even started yet is get stuff for the kids table.
There will be 5 children - 10 yr old - 2 x 7 yr olds - 3 yr old - 2 yr old

I want crafty type things - but nothing messy! I want things that will keep them occupied for quite a while so they don't get bored whilst the adults are still eating.
I am going to go to the toy shop and see what I can find. I was thinking maybe some kind of jewelry/beads making set for the older girls, not sure for the younger ones yet. Need to sort it out soon though!!

 

[Lauren25]

Aww how exciting about the bouquet and buttonhole, bet your so excited to see them!

Love the idea of the craft table, what a great way to keep them entertained!

 

[aly888]

You sound very organised!! I too love the craft table. You could print out wedding dress and wedding cake outlines and ask them all to decorate them however they want. Well, the older ones can. Maybe not the younger ones
