[lynne192]

nice pink and brown always thought it was strange combo but seems to work well often x do you have sample pictures?

 

[Emskins]

we are going with black, silver and pink although not sure what pink, i may use a mix of pinks in the end as i love hot pink and baby pink

 

[lynne192]

Cadburys purple and ivory for us, with lots of sparkles for good measure :-0

 

[lynne192]

oh how nice my fave colour is purple but don't want to use it for the wedding, want to have stars and butterflies if i can work them into a red theme.

 

[Bocket]

ooo my invites and table centre pieces have butterflies on and they look really sweet! I wanted a star theme at first as me and OH both have star tattoos lol but changed my mind when I saw the invites that we picked!

 

[lynne192]

long story why i want star but i love butterflies too lol... thinking i will have a white invitation out with red then white with red writting and maybe a red ribbon and little star in the middle of the ribbon?

yours sounds lovely do you have pictures?

[lynne192]

aww there sooo pretty hun did you do them yourself? you look dead young lol

 

[Bocket]

haha thank u! I'm 23 lol!

No, I was going to but the girl who's doing my chair covers / centre pieces did me a good package, doing the whole lot for not very much. I played around doing my own but in the end I got bored and couldn't be arsed haha

 

[lynne192]

must just be the picture hun don't look 23 lol... guess thats not always a bad thing everyone always thinks i look dead young, how much did the package cost you seems like you got a good one thre

 

[Bocket]

she's doing big tall martini glass thingys with flowers and feather in on the tables and all the covers setting up the room etc and all the place names / table plan / top table deco and the invite pack for £300 - and I picked her most expensive options lol, so didn't think that was too bad, compared to others I spoke to.

 

[lynne192]

thats pretty good hun, wish i lived in her area would def go with her. how many people you having at your wedding? how much in total have you spend/spending?

 

[Bocket]

we've got 60 for the daytime and sit down meal and 120 for the night do. To be honest it's spiralled from about 45 in the day and 90 at night but I'm from a big family and we never get to all be in the same place at once, so hopefully we all will be!

I reckon in total we'll spend about £7000 but we have been very very lucky and had help from both sides of our family.

I am glad that so far no-one has mentioned my colour scheme although, I hope that doesnt mean it's gonna look terrible! lol

wow £7,000 i don't want to spend more than £4,000 think we cdan bearly afford that, got some time so will shop around and such too see what we can get, my auntie is a graphic designer and done her whole wedding invitations, favours and such, she had a big flash wedding at a hilton which cost my grandparents like £10,000 but she done alot herself so could have cost her more, so going to talk nicely to her and see if she'll help with those, she is also really good at designing cakes so might buy the plain ones out of M&S and ASDA and get them stacked and get her to decorate them for us, could prob do it myself but i think she is better... my OH's side of the family is pretty well off so they might help but not holding out hope but we'll see. I also have a big family but not sure who we will be inviting, his family is huge too but he doesn't even know half his family.

I am glad that so far no-one has mentioned my colour scheme although, I hope that doesnt mean it's gonna look terrible! lol

hey aly what is your colour/theme?

I've found it amazing since we've been planning how many people have pitched in. And we recently made a cake for OH's dad and partner when they re-married earlier this month, I bought a cake stand and made loads of cupcakes and a cake for the top layer and it looked lovely and went down really well. I reckon you can easy do it on £4000 and it will be absolutely stunning. As long as all ur special people are there and u both look good, nothing else matters xx
