[Shabutie]

My something old is my Great Nan's cameo she left to me when she died. i just took it off the necklace and attached it onto the broach at the back using the pin.

My something borrowed and blue are combined. It is my Nan's broach which she has had for a very long time.

I suppose my new could be the flowers, so that they are all in one place

Description of flowers:

My bouquet is made up of 24 white roses, with diamontes in each rose. Silver and white ribbon around.

Bridesmaid bouquet is 12 white roses. White ribbon around.

Grooms's buttonhole is 1 large white rose with diamonte in rose. Green leaves and grass surround.

Best man/Usher's/Dad's buttonholes are 1 small white rose each with green leaves and grass surround.

Mum's corsages are a sprig of white Freechia's with 'water droplet' running throughout.


I hope you all like my flowers.

[Shabutie]

Thank you.

No course not hun, but I dont think it would help you, as I saw your from Yorkshire. They were from a place called Boarhunt Flower Mill. They have tons and tons of flowers all different colours.

Maybe you have somthing similar near you?

xXx

 

[leash27]

Ah thanks anyway!

I have been looking on eBay and there are some beautiful flowers on there but I always like to know what they will be like first lol. I don't trust eBay!

They really are gorgeous though, I am jel!

Thank you hun, does no one in yor area have a place like where i got mine from?

what area are you in, i'll try and have a look online for you.

 

[leash27]

Ha, I am in Leeds.

How do you have time to organise my wedding aswell as your own

I have had a look online and found some really nice ones, I may just order a bridesmaid bouquet and see the quality first.

I have been productive, I have decided on my wedding favours and started ordering the bits and pieces to put them together so I am not completely inept

I think I am trying to look for too many things at once and going off on tangents!

And now I am hi-jacking your thread!!

[Shabutie]

Well I have decided on my hen day/night.

During the day travel up to London and go to Madame Tussuades. Might visit somewhere else, maybe look in Harrods.

Then in the evening have a night in.

My plan is to ask those invited that they have to wear something green for the entire evening (green is my colour theme for wedding) and bring their favourite party food/snacks, favourite cd/music, alcohol and 4 pack of toilet roll. (and PJ's if they are staying) Then during the night we are going to paly a few games:


1, Dress design: Using toilet roll, working in pairs create a wedding dress. Best on wins.

2, Pin the male on the model: Picture of sexy man. And pin p**is in place.

3, Make a man: Bride gives out cards of body parts, and each person has to make it out of clay/playdough, and then give them all back to Bride and she creates it. People decide on sizes of body parts, so we could end up with a very dodgy looking man.

Also throughtout the night we will have certain words which are 'banned' and if they are spoken then that person has to take a shot.

Maybe play a few drinking games, and order in a chinese or something and settle down and watch dvd's

So Im hoping it will turn out well and everyone enjoys it, it wont be a big group of girls, because I dont have that many friends

Aww that sounds fab! We made a wedding dress out of toilet roll too, I had to go out with a toilet roll skirt over my dress Managed to lose it after the meal before we hit the pubs

[Shabutie]

I cant wait, I think it will be so fun. I have never had a girly night before, so will be interesting. lol

 

[Tiff]

OMG!! Your flowers are GORGEOUS!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I like the Hen night (still feels weird calling it that!) stuff too.

 

[Shabutie]

Well, today is my bridesmaid second dress fitting @4.30pm, so i'm quite excited about that! I'll update later when were back.

 

[Lisa84]

Your flowers are lush hun. really pretty.

Are your bridesmaid dresses Alfred Angelo?? I think i am going to go with one of his designs for my bridesmaids x

 

[Shabutie]

Ah thank you Lisa. I love the flowers, I cant wait to see what they will look like next to my dress.

Yeah the dresses are Alfred Angelo, so is my wedding dress. I think the design number is 7016. I love a lot of their dresses they make.

My bridesmaid dress floats lovely and looks very elegant, my bridesmaid loves it.

What dresses are you thinking of having?

 

[Lisa84]

It was toss up between the ones you have gone with in dark purple of design 7017S. I think i am going to go with the same one as you because one of my bridesmaids is really self concious of her legs so a full length one would be better.

I liked wedding dress 2180 but when i went to see it it looked completely different. I really like 2174 and 2184 so i'm going to find a shop that does those and go to try them on.

I love most Alfred Angelo designs. Which dress have you gone with? xxx
