Church Pencil-ised ...

An image to use on our Order of Service covers - it is St Peter's Church in Wapley (the church where we will be married) but pencil-ised!

Hair/ make-up... tick ...

Quick update - I have now secured Julie Dunkley from Gloucestershire Wedding Hair & Make Up to work her magic on us (me, mother of the bride and the bridesmaids).

Crafty bits ...

For my birthday I got a lovely little machine:



So I have started to make some heart-on-string decorations to go somewhere at our wedding reception:
A little scruffy (haven't used a sewing machine since circa 1992!) but I am sure it will improve - plus it adds to the 'shabby-chic-ness'. (Ribbon brand is 'East of India' -wonderful stuff)


PS - Our freshly printed invitations arrived today - will be sending out end April/ start May - keep a look out for them in the post!

Photographer! We think we've found the one ...

Today we went to see a photographer - John Holbrook  and have decided that this is the one to go for!

Pew Ends

I had nearly forgotten all about some decoration for the church.  Since we are not going with the whole 'real flower' option, I though that the below would be a nice touch for the pew ends in the church.  Plain and simple.

I got the white wicker hearts from Dunelm Mill and have decorated one so far to see whether I liked it or not - I like it and so does the groom!  One down, nine to go ...

Needed - Photographer and Hair/ Beauty Stylist

So - all we have left to book now is a photographer - we are booked in next week to see one - fingers crossed this will be the one.

Hair and Make-Up stylists are proving hard to find (someone who does both) and if they do they are really expensive!

The Rings ...

We got them yesterday - pick up this Thursday.  Only £40 over what we had expected them to cost so we're happy.

Well, this is not the ACTUAL ring but this is the style.  The brides is a thinner band whilst the grooms is thicker.

The Shoes ...

I found the shoes after HOURS of looking - I have also bought the dress but not I'm not putting a photo of this up - this is a surprise for the groom ;D and all you lovely guests!



A note to anyone thinking of buying Filippa Scott shoes - the sizes are BIG!  I had to buy a size smaller that what I usually am.  Really nice and comfy shoes though.

Save the date!

We chose to get some fridge magnets made up through Vista Print for our save the date cards and were very pleased with the result.

Everyone who is invited to either the full day or evening reception will be getting one of these shortly, if they haven't already.
