Bloody hell that was a long read, glad to see you're putting them in a very light green as i was about to say the same as stacey lol, you dont want to be blending in with the bms now!!
You're looking very organised, it must be frustrating knowing you have all this planned but you cant act on alot of it til X day as its so far off.
It all sounds fab, still loving the venus fly trap favours, i got the bio degradable plant pots for my blue bell bulbs and they are just sat there looking at me cant do a thing with them til next year!!

Im going to assume you've been foiled by predictive text lol and translate that as 'i would even think about' xD
And I agree. I couldn't imagine wearing the same colour as my BMs even if it was a different shade. Obviously you love green, but I think sometimes you can have too much of a good thing...?

ivory with green sashes would be lovely, or the palest green you could find a light green hue could also look lovely, you could even have your own shade of green dress on their dresses as well if you went ivory. The shoes jewlerry and sashes could all be the same as your dress then and tie you all in nicely

Just think having green even if its pale, you won't stand out as much as everything around you will be green, albeit if its different shades. Think going with ivory dresses with green sash would look beautiful Xxx

Been looking at prices for my table decorations but cannot accurately price it as I don't know how many of each item I need as I don't know how many tables I will have at our reception REALLY NEED TO VISIT THE EDEN PROJECT!!
Decided what leaf shape I will cut out for the Die cut leafs but need to get gel pens that is visible on dark green and blue card Think Silver Gel pens should work perfectly =D
Also priced out my personalised Just Married Love Hearts Candles need to decide how many candle favours we will need
Do we need to buy a cake knife to cut our cake?? Do you think it is sentimental to keep the knife you cut your cake with

Thats what I'm thinking I should customize the cake knife too either wrap round poison ivy as you suggest or maybe ribbon or a flower that can wrap round the handle like poison ivy cannot add the crown as its pointless and will just make it heavy shall have a think about it and good luck with your sonic screwdriver cake knife Velcro =D ♥ X
