    A few little updates!

    Giving notice is done and dusted! So pleased to have it out of the way and it was much better than I expected, we got to see the room where our ceremony will be and we get our own red carpet entrance! So exciting!

    I have booked an appointment to view this car on 11th July, I love it and fingers crossed that will be getting booked on the day!

    OH's best man has offered to pay for OH's suit too so that is one less thing we need to worry about.

    All I have left is the little things :) everything seems to be falling into place now :)

    So I had a very wedding related weekend managed to book our car and get the bowls for our centrepieces.

    We had the viewing for the car on Saturday and I knew I had to have it as soon as soon as I saw it, my parents are kindly paying for it so they put the deposit down :)

    Here it is :)

    Here are the bowls we decided on for our centrepieces, I already had the flowers so had a little play around with them to see what they might look like :) The photos do not do them justice!

    They are from h0m3 b@rg@ins! I know, OH wasn't too keen on the clear ones and when I thought about it the extra money we spent on these ones we would of had to spend on filling the clear bowls anyway! Need to order another lot of flowers now though as they bowls need 2 bunches not 1 like I thought! Not sure whether to get white or lilac though? x

    If you got white you could separate them and mix the 2 lots together

    I was thinking of mixing the two colours Emily, that way it would be like my bouquet. I think I might stick to lilac though or order 1 bunch of white and have a play with both colours x

    I think white mixed in might make it look a bit too busy whereas I love the simplicity of just the lilac on silver. Definitely worth a play around though - even if you just put a couple of white ones in rather than a whole bunch. You'll have to show us when you've had a play about! If you wanted to add a bit of white could buy white scatter things to place around the tables, like pearls or something? xx

    Flower girl dress - Bought and paid for
    DJ - deposit paid, remaining due 14 days before wedding
    Registry office - booked and notice given
    Bridesmaid dresses - 4 bought and paid in full
