    How have you not exploded with anticipation yet?! I'm so impatient I think I would have at least been dying from sleep deprivation over the excitement of it all!

    I have shocked myself by how calm I have become over the whole thing to be honest.

    I usually stress about these things and get excited and just generally go crazy. but this time im really chill - and as i mentioned on another thread i think its because my mum is doing a lot for me, she is stressed!! lol!

    I am sooo greatful for her though - she's like my wedding planner - she's more or less sorting it all out! :)

    thank you! I havent actually seen it yet. My mum booked it - she's booking most things for me because they are all local suppliers and they are 5 hours away from where i live
    so they just send me photos and then I discuss it with H2B before we ask her to book.

    these are the centre pieces she has sent me photos of. what do you think?
    SAM_1158.JPG

    They will be in a fish bowl with a small light in there that will be switched on in the evening.
    There wont be a mirror but a circular slate underneath instead - we're going for a welsh slate theme.

    Ignore the white wire stuff thats not part of it!

    also because we are having a civil ceremony the room we are actually getting married is a little boring. It has BEAUTIFUL views from the window but the room is pretty basic.

    So we were thinking of booking these flower arches so that me and h2b stand underneath them for the ceremony.
    What do you think!?

    i was thinking of maybe getting twinkly lights wrapped around the arch - or would that look silly!?

    As we are going to have the arch just behind our seats for the meal as well, as we want to make use of them!

    Looks like things are going well with all the planning. Thats good to hear.
    You could use flower fairy lights? on the arch? That way both flowers and lights are incorporated.
