Well this is new!!!

So with 106 days to go until our big day I have decided to now do a blog.  Why? I have no idea but i think it will be nice to look back on when we get further along in our marriage and see how much hard work, time, effort and love went into making our day perfect!!

I'll introduce us first, i'm Gemma and I am a childminder by day and wedding planner (lol!!) by night!! I feel utterly stressed out and tired doing all this planning but i'm absolutely loving it!! It is taking over my life, i eat, sleep and breathe our wedding.  I'm sure my friends and family have had enough of talking about it and hearing what new things i have for it, even i get sick of talking about and know i'm probably boring people to tears but i just can't help it!!  My fiance Tom is much more laid back, in fact any more laid back and he'd be lying on the floor :)  We equal each other out i think! I motivate him to do things (nag!!) and he chills me out when I get so stressed about things I could cry.  He has had a bit of input into the wedding but all in all he trusts me and he knows how much love is going into our day so he is happy with most things that I chose although if he doesn't like something he will tell me until i eventually  have to give in lol.

Well up to now I have done most things, venue (Plas Maenan) is all booked, the photographer, cake, suits, bridesmaid dresses, and flowers are booked and of course my dress is booked.

The Plas Maenan!!

To give you a background on the wedding we have chosen an Autumn theme, we're getting married in October!! So lots of pine cones, pumpkins and bark. Our table centres aren't the usual glass mirrors we are having tree slices instead with our bark candle holder in the centre surrounded with pinecones, rosehip berries, mini pumpkins and candle votives.

The name place cards!

I am actually inlove with my candle holders...

Our suits are brown and our bridesmaid dresses are champagne, my flowers are mainly going to be orange with hints of chocolate although i'm not too sure how the florist is going to do that!?!  

So far everything has run quite smoothly apart from having a few dress wobbles and thinking that I have changed my mind when I have seen another dress I like! I did have a major stress in the bridal shop when my dress arrived and it was too short(!) They have had to order me in a longer dress, at more expense, and now it won't be in until August so it will come in and I will have my first dress fitting as soon as i see it.  It had better be perfect!  

So, now i've bored you with my wedding plans too lol...
