WEll, you know how i said we cant afford flowers

well. we went over to my future MIL today..... and she had a brides bouquet, 3 bridesmaids ones and a flower girls ball that my oh's auntie has made us as a wedding gift.
Theyre so lush! Ivory, baby pink and pink, and what is weird is yesterday I siad to OH how much i would LOVE a bouqeut with crystals and butterflies, and it has crystal pins in it, and my MIL bought some butterflies to add to it!

OMG i am so lucky to be entering into a family like this :)

WE took photos of the flowers with the bm's dress, n sash and the two waistcoats. and i was literally jumping with excitement squeeling "oooh oooh I love it" lol

I am soooo happy! The colours are looking gorgeous and we are starting to get things together.


We did some planning and list making too, spent 3 hours at it and still need more chats. But wow what a spirit lift that was!

They sound lovely! I love crystals in the bouquet :) really pleased for you! Xx

Did you sort out your photographer dilemma, we are in the same boat as you cant afford the extortionate prices. Our bestman was gunna do it cos he's a photographer but I think he is gunna let us down on both counts. We dont really need a bestman anyway(registry office) but would of liked a few nice pics to look at.

really cheered me up tonnes, i am just uploading photos to my comp...

still not having a photographer, and using a minibus taxi as tranposrt as there are 14 of us in the bridal party so we're all going together.

Brilliant! Lovely surprise. Glad it has cheered you up. x

oh forgot to say she is making mens buttonholes too and a corsgae for my MIL

Stunning! :) Xx

oh thanks everyone.... doesnt it get exciting when things come together, and it feels so much more special knowing a family member has made these for us....

Sounds like a really lovely family! Glad you had such a great surprise.

thanks everyone. I couldnt be happier, and how awesome that someone made a suprise for us and got it SOOOO right!

They are lovely x

and my MIL has said her and my FIL are paying for the evening buffet as our wedding gift from them AND she is making the invitations AND the wedding cake, all free for our gifts!
We're SO lucky, she is going to do a 3 tier cake, white with pink dots on, pink ribbon and pink butterflies (similar to the one marksies do if youve seen there cakes).

NOBODY is very happy at all that we arent having a photographer or cars, but we stressed we just cant afford them. I think mini busing us in one big group will be fun anyway, all the chatter and excitement on the way!

becky, we would LOVE to but we simply cant afford it, and i think £350 for a cd of discs is a ludicrous amount of money to spend on photo's.
I am sure between family and friends we get some half decent shots of the day

cant u find one that will allow u to pay after weddin mayb

awwwww as long as they get good 1s it be good hun x

OH WOW!!! any chance she can do mine ;-)

lol xXx

wow they are beautifull so pleased for you x

they look great!!!!! wow what a nice gift
