I'm just so happy!!

So, with 5 and a half weeks left I still have quite a bit to do, i'm stressing that I won't get everything done, and i'm also worried that other people may not like our theme, but, I still can't smiling everytime I think about our day!!

We still have to complete the table plan, complete my pew ends for the ceremony, buy the flowergirl shoes and get the bridesmaid and flowergirl dresses altered.  Buy brown converse for Tom and his best men and other little jobs that I really need to make a list for.  Trouble is how am I going to fit it all in??  I have my NVQ that needs to be completed, I have enrolled in bootcamp to lose those few extra pounds before the big day and I also have to spend time with Ty let alone finish off jobs for the wedding!! I feel a little stressed (the ulcers in my mouth prove that!) but I am still smiling lol..!!

Also, it is my hen weekend in just over a week.  All I know is that I am going on a plane!!!!!! Eeeeeek how bloody exciting, I will do a new blog when I get back I may even include some photos depending on what they do to me lol..!

My Dress!!

Well after the palava of my dress coming in at the beginning of the year and being too short my new dress turned up on Friday.  Me, mum, Jess and Laura went down to try it on yesterday and IT FITS!!!!!

I don't need any alterations everything is perfect with it.  I would post photos but i'm afraid of Tom looking so i think it's probably better if i didn't.

There is no feeling like when trying on your dress.  When you slide it on you get an excitement like never before, your heart races, my hands starting shaking and you can't stop smiling!!!

7 weeks and 6 days left to go!!! So bloody exciting!!! xxx

Things are coming together!!

Awww, yesterday I was so excited! We got so much organised for the wedding.  I managed to get hold of my amazing chair cover lady as I had seen some rustic burlap chair sashes and wanted to see if she stocked them.  SHE DOES!!!!!!  We were originally having alternate chocolate brown and ivory sashes on white chair covers but thank the lord she is going to change to the burlap sashes for no extra cost!!!

The new burlap sash!!

I absolutely love them!!  I think the new ones go with our rustic autumnal theme much better and now we can have a burlap table runner too which will help tie everything in nicely.

We have also bought about a million ferrero rocher's today to stick to the sweet tree that my brother used for his wedding.  We have 2 trees and finished one yesterday, it looks absolutely gorgeous.  Much cheaper sourcing a used sweet tree stand than buying one made up.  We have spent £15 on sweets whereas to buy the made up ferrero rocher ones they are £35 each!!!!!

Loads more to do today!!! xx

Finalising the day!!!

We had our appointment at the venue yesterday to sort out everything for the day including the timings, food, ceremony and table layout.  It is all so real now! I am actually getting married!!!

The reception room was all set out for a wedding today and looked so gorgeous it actually bought tears to my eyes.  It is such a gorgeous place, everything to the toilets is immaculate and in excellent condition.  The main reason why I chose the Plas Maenan was because of the owners, James and Caroline Burt.  As soon as I met them I knew that I wanted them to help organise our day.  James was an old butler to the queen, he retired from duty and they both bought the Plas Maenan when it was deralict and run down.  They have transformed it into the most beautiful venue!!

Caroline is going to send us the final balance, unless anything changes, in the next week.  I'm excited to see it but also scared to see if comes to what I have calculated it to.  I hope so!!!

Wedding Ring!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! I'm so excited!!!

My wedding ring has just arrived.. I'm so bloody happy, it's lovely, fits perfectly and is gorgeous!!  I just had to share with everyone!!!

Eeeeeeeeek, i'm so happy :) xxx

Eeeeeeeek 89 days to go!!!

I'm so excited, with 89 days left until our day we have finally ordered our wedding rings!!! They are traditional bands although Tom has a black edging on his.  I absolutely love them!!!!  I'm not going to post pictures of them as I want them to be a surprise!

Not only have we ordered the rings but i have made all of the place name cards, the most tedious and boring jobs ever but I love how they have turned out.

These will stand in the tops of the pine cones that we are going to cut into.

So what do you think??  I have loads more DIY wedding decorations to do :(  I'm sure I will start to love making things by the time I have finished lol.

I feel so grown up all of a sudden.  Not a horrible grown up but a grown up that is happy with where her life is.  I'm so flipping excited!!!

Bridesmaid dresses!!

Well today, a Sunday(!) we took a trip to Manchester to find our new bridesmaid dresses.  We did originally have some beautiful dresses but there was something that just wasn't quite right with them!!

I found this lady on my favourite site, Ebay, and loved the dresses that i saw and instead of getting her to send out the dresses and send them back if they weren't right we decided to go down to try them all on.  So after 1 1/2 hours in the car me and 2 of my bridesmaids, Laura and Jo, found ourselves at this ladies house.  We walked in and i completely fell inlove with a different dress to the one we originally went down to see!!

What do you think????

I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. We are having it in a darker colour, more of a gold/mocha colour but i love it!!

One more job done, yey!
