    Doves are a beautiful idea. I did hear of an owl flying up to the rafters with the rings once, where it went to sleep.

    Oh I bet that's what would happen to us Elinor! Was thinking about doves until my mum nearly had freak out at a wedding fair we went to and they had some there in cages, thought my mum was going to have a panic attack! Never realised that they had that effect on her! Plus not sure that FMIL & FSIL like birds either lol

    So since my dress is mainly silver in detailing; we decided to go with silver and red instead of red/gold. My flowers originally had gold ribbons e.t.c so my creative silver re-designed them with silver,white ribbon and lace :) They look amazing!

    And now the re-designed silver version ;)

    Right so went to Solihull with my family and a certain shop had a 50% sale off wedding stuff so ended up buying these. The numbers themselves were reduced from £5 to £2.50 and then the holders were reduced from £3 t0 £1.50 each but my mum managed to get them at 75p so everything should have come to about £13 and I got everything for £7 odd :)

    Yeah got the suits sorted on Saturday; h2b got fitted and measured and looks great in his suit (I got dragged along) but apparently it was too early to measure everyone else. That's fine but wish he would have told me before we arranged for everyone to come down. Oh well they got to see the suits.

    I shall post pics laster when I'm feeling up to it.

    Paid the £100 deposit so £160 left to pay on the day of pick up :)

    Went to a the Brandon Hall Wedding fayre on Monday evening and booked our cake :D! We also fell in love with the strawberry Tower and managed to stretch our budget to include that as well :D Pictures to follow.

    We've also decided on where we are going to go for honeymoon - Grecotel El Greco in Rethymnon (Greece) :) All inclusive and some excellent snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities :) Going to book next week :)

    And finally since I agreed to let some of the kids be flower girls; here our their dresses; photos don't do them justice as they are gorgeous. We also got the little flower bags which we are going to put confetti or petals in for them to throw :)

    So excited though; we have a double room with a sea and pool view :)

    Oh and gave notice today; went fine for me but they wouldn't allow h2b to complete his as apparently he didn't have a full birth certificate :( So his has been arranged for the 30th July 2014 so he'll go again and show them his 'full' birth certificate despite the fact that he had his mother's birth certificate too...

    Paid the £70 for us both and now have £324 left to pay which I will pay after we have competed the questionnaire which he will get on the 30th :)

    I think it is wrong though that if the fees go up before out wedding then we are expecting to pay the difference...

    Yeah h2b was finally able to give his side of the notice yesterday (wouldn't accept his birth certificate before as it wasn't full apparently...) so we have paid all the fees; that's £398 we no longer need to worry about :)

    Also choose our vows and readings :) Exciting :)

    Also tried my new dress on last Saturday and it fits perfectly except the hem is a little wide over my breasts but nothing a modesty bow can't fix; will update with those pics too once I get them from my mum :D

    I can't decide if to go with the red lipstick or the lip gloss? Here are the photos; shame I had to take it all off before I went home so h2b couldn't see it :(

    You seem to be very organised! I think you have pretty much everything booked and paid for? Your plans look lovely, your venue looks gorgeous as well :) I bet you can't wait until closer to the time now :) x
