Thanx flossie :) just trying to work out what to wrap around the stem, not sure If want pink wire, green floral stem tape or ribbon.. x

Ahh so pretty. I love the whole feel you've got going on!! x

LOVE my daughters flower girl dress, i originally was having a dress bit like this, huge tutu style with long train but a adult version.. every now and then i think ahhhhh i still want one, so going to see if lady can make me a skirt like this for me and day after wedding have a photoshoot with me in mine and my daughter in hers with fairy wings on and have shoot in the woods where the ceremony was :) couple of my friends are photographers who will be with us and be more than happy to try it out , makes me excited just thinking of everything ! yaye :)

Yaye ,we got my OH outfit , he is not a suit person and i wouldnt want him in one either, they just remind me of offices and court ( I used to be a PA in a solicitors ) me and matthew are far from smart/formal people so , we went for some grey chino type trousers and a casual blue and white pinstripe blazer, just need to find white shirt and some boots/shoes now.. So pleased we found exactly what we were looking for straight away with 1 trip to D3b3nh4ms and had the exact same look in both of our heads ! :) starting to wish i had my girly friends nearby, having my bridal crew living 3 or more hours away, im starting to feel like im missing out a bit on wedding talk and no-one has seen my dress or anything yet ! you lot on here are only people to have seen anything and know about what i have planned !! haha.. My parents are visiting from Scotland for a week soon , so can look after my daughter while we Go to our wedding venue on the 23rd March and I cant wait ! eeeeekk will be first time Matthew has even seen it.. slightly nervous about it.... haha.. but I'm sure will be fine, hes seen it online in photos . so excited about going back and having a look in the woods and work out where to have the ceremony !! yaye... :)

Your wedding sounds so free and spontaneous and so much fun EmmaG I cannot wait to see it all come together for you Xxx

Oh my I love the flower girl dress! She will look like a little woodland fairy! So cute x

Lana - my Mum's family all come from Devon as you know and Grandma is from Paignton, my great granny was born in Cornwood and a lot of the others were from Halberton x

yaye, just booked our pre photo shoot !!! sooooo excited.. Not until June , but its making it feel more real now I have spoken to her about it and some of my plans.. we having a sunset shoot by the sea.. we also went to see the venue last week ! Matthew hadn't seen it until now, so I was a little nervous but shouldn't of worried, he loves it too and could see totally why I went for the place and he feels the relaxed vibe it has going on which is what we wanted.. wooop.. but when we went to look in the woods for a place for our ceremony, its actually a lot steeper than I thought.. so its not going to be quite how I had imagined, and I did feel a little disappointed that it wont be in middle of woods like I had visualised, but it will now be at the beginning of woods instead... but in some ways it will work better , a lot easier to set up music nearer to the main house and not so far to carry all the chairs and decorations.e.t.c so its worked out ok .. so today I have started to make my fake flower arrangements for the centrepieces and playing around with making the bouquets.. :)

the thank you page to be added to the lanyard ! just got to order some lanyard cords now and then hole punch them all ..

Thanks hun, Im really glad that I have done them , we have a local printers that does everything really cheap so I just sent over what I wanted and they only cost £18 to have 60 printed and laminated.. bargain I think :)

YAYE... LOVE THEM !!!!

Sooooo even though i already have a hair circlet that i love and thought was going to wear, recently I haven't been able to stop thinking about flower crowns, so decide to try and make one and see what I think.. and yeS the flowers are rather massive, I didn't realise how big until I started making it... but I love it !! its just a start, a mock one.. but im loving it and looking forward to finishing it and see what other bits I can add , going to see what its like with some feathers ! :)

Glittered and painted these .. and have made up the little hearts on sticks, I have 200 of them to put down the aisle and around the woods and garden :)

Omg your wedding sounds like so much fun everything looks brilliant!!

Love the flower crown its brilliant and the glittered things look fab too xx

thanx ladies, yes the main focus of the wedding is on FUN !! woop.. so excited.. scary how time is flying past though . I loving the planning and making bits :)
