    Met with a lady to arrange table decoration and chair covers etc yesterday. I was quoted £140 which I am over the moon with. Decided on manzanita trees for centrepiece and a mixture of teal and blue sashes.

    That's a great price Emma! I got quoted £350 for chair covers which I found a bit steep! xx

    Told h2b he needs to get his finger out with his half of the guest list. Starting to stress me out and I keep getting sly digs from his family about numbers. I just want it sorted now, it's getting me down. :(

    Thanks ladies. Waiting on a couple of bits from e-bay, then we're going to have a go at the flowers... could be a disaster but we won't know until we try! If it is, then we can see if we can find someone to make it for us instead. x

    Got a quote, in case our flowers aren't great - £395. A lot of work involved in it though so the price is justifiable.

    I hope we are flower making experts! lol

    I've ordered some jewellery from the D3b3nh@ms sale. Will have to keep the earrings as you can't send them back but if I don't like the necklace or bracelet they can be returned.

    I have booked a florist and my parents have kindly said they will pay for the flowers! :)

    I'm going for something like this but with a few peacock feathers.

    Yesterday we went to see a jeweller about making our wedding rings (link on my wall to his website). It was brilliant, mine will be an 18ct white gold band with engraved peacock feathers and blue diamonds in the eye of the feather. OH is having a paladium band, with a sort of frost like patern engraved onto it. I can't wait to see the finished article but obvioulsy they have to be handmade so this will be about 3 months time.

    A little update.

    We have decided on a design for the invitations this is not finished but basic idea...

    I was struggling with this for ages as I was worried it wasn't wedding-y enough but I'm happy with these colours.

    This is a possible bridesmaid dress
    would be teal

    I have this for my bouquet so that my Gran is with me on the day

    Sill need to sort suits and the cake but leaning towards M&$ for the cake.

    Thinking of trying my dress on again soon as I have lost 2 stones, then I can decide if I need to lose any more.

    Bought these as presents for the men.
