Wedding Forum - My wedding planning diary! My 5 year...

Hi Hails,

Table names are named after "romantic rose names" which I found on a site so the first one will be the top table

A brides dream
Cherish
Crazy for you
First kiss
Flame of love
Happy ever after
Hot romance
Perfect day


And this is what they will look like with table plan tabs to match to go on my mirror

Ok Ive managed to find the photgrapher who took that picture but hes in america!!
Perhaps contact him with a copy of the picture and ask if hes able to contact the bride to see where she got them from????

I'll leave a link to the photographer on your wall!

We were going to have thank you keyrings with a poem and a picture of our guests in the photo booth but thanks to the wonderful book of face Ive come across these and have fallen in love :-)
Will have to work them into the thank yous somehow I think hehehe

They also do them as invitations, how unique is that hehehe

For the evening invite would you keep it simple and have the postcard invites or go with the normal card type invite??

A brief history of our venue and surrounding area

BARNSDALE LODGE
Originally a 17th century farmhouse on the Exton Estate, home to the Noel family (Earl of Gainsborough) for generations at the head of a horse chestnut tree-lined avenue, Barnsdale Lodge hotel is now a superb 44 bedroom hotel and restaurant.
Situated in its own graceful and tranquil gardens on the glorious north shore of Rutland Water, the hotel is built in local mellow Rutland stone, quarried from the adjacent estate of the Earl of Gainsborough. With its gentle undulating fields and spectacular views of the lake, it is one of England's hidden treasures.


OAKHAM
Oakham is a pretty, traditional English market town, bustling with activity and current holder of a coveted Britain in Bloom award. Packed with heritage, there’s plenty to see in Oakham which makes it ideal for a day trip or short break in the UK; Rutland County Museum is a great place to start, displaying the fascinating history of the town together with unusual exhibits including a set of gallows!


RUTLAND
Rutland is an idyllic rural destination offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. While being a relatively hidden gem, Rutland is convenient to reach from all directions as it is situated in the heart of the East Midlands, making it the ideal location for short breaks in the UK
Quietly nestling in the quiet English countryside, England’s smallest county has much to share with you; not least, fantastic Rutland Water, an array of unspoilt villages and two attractive market towns packed with charm.
Rich in history and full of character, come and discover the delights of this special place; where you will receive a warm welcome and be enchanted by a decidedly English way of life.
Rutland offers a taste of traditional England, undiscovered by many and treasured by a lucky few.

The origin of the name Rutland is controversial and hotly debated. Some say it is named after a local landowner called Rota who owned a large estate in the area. Others say that the name stems from the rich red colour of the soil which is found here, and that, over time the name became Rutland. Unfortunately, it looks set to remain a mystery, as there is no conclusive evidence to prove one story or the other.

From 1974 until 1997, Rutland was part of Leicestershire. However it is now a proudly independent county and in 2007 celebrated a decade of independence.
To this day, Rutland remains one of the most charming, proud and attractive rural counties in England.

Let me just say to all, Thank You!

It's very hard to describe
And not enough words to express.
But give us just a minute
and we'll try to do our best.

Thank You is just two words
But it can mean a thousand things.
But as ____ and I move forward
We are learning all its great meanings.

We learned what it meant
and still learning along the way.
But looking at all your faces,
We find the words of Thanks to say.

Thanks to all our friends,
who helped to keep us sane.
Thanks to all our family,
for helping us once again.

Thank you for your voices,
for letting us hear your songs.
Thank you for you support,
and helping us to be strong.

Thank you for your wisdom,
it has helped in many ways.
Thank you for your love,
it has helped us to see this day.

So you see,
Thanks is not just a word that?s said.
Thanks is a love and a feeling.
That enters our heart and sticks in our head.

Thanks for helping us find the words to say,
And thanks for helping us to live this ever lasting day

Sooooo what do you think???
