i'm in love with these Al@n P!nku$ Shoes


Here is our Reception Venue all set up






Here the inspiration photo for my bouquet but mine will also have vine in it too the bridesmaids will have the same just smaller

All gorgeous!! EEEEP but I LOVE wedding pix!!

thanks hun

i'm thinking an aisle runner like this



then will have hanging tea-lights hanging in the trees


and thinking a fishbowl with rose petals and floating candles for centrepieces this is the closes to what i want i can find

OMG i just Received Bell's flower Girl Dress it is Devine

I love the tea lights in the trees!
Make sure you post pics of Bell in her dress.

Big congratulations!

I love what you have planned so far

Love that idea for a centrepiece. Something with candles is always nice but by having something lower it makes it wayyyy easier to have conversations around the table!

Your reception venue looks amazing!
And that flowergirl dress is soooooo adorable!

Windsor you hit the nail on the head, the tables are round so a low centrepiece will make it easier for conversations, i hate when you are trying to talk to some one but can't see them

Your venue for the reception has fantastic views! Just lovely.

I had similar centrepieces to those - they were very practical for round tables.

Lovely ideas Cherie!!

That reception venue looks stunning and I adore the flower girl dress. How cute is she going to look

going to get 3 of these for mine and the bridesmaids bouquets




here is bell trying on her dress not the best photos













this a close up on the hanging tealight holders, i am going to have 3 large one with ivory rose buds heads in them then 3 smaller ones with tealights hanging from the trees

It is so nice to see an active wedding thread in here again!

I love those bouquets!!! Gorgeous! And the cake looks amazing! As does your reception venue!
Bell looks adorable in her dress

ETA: I forgot to add those hanging tea light holders are stunning.

i'm just about to order this ring ring for H2B, it's so different and cool i think, he has want this ring for his wedding ring for about 5 years since he saw it in a Q@ntas magazine while travelling to work one swing


this is His suit he looked so handsome in it i could of married him in the store haha




i'm think of this style for my hair i love the sectoring of it




OMG we went to the food and wine tasting the other week the food looked and tasted amazing

That food looks amazing! Are you going to do the alternative serves thing or let people choose?

Unforturly our package is alternative serve but we have chicken or seafood for entree then chicken or beef so that should cover most people I hope

I was always dubious about alternate serves but I've been to several functions with it now and it works well. People just swap if they want to but most are really happy with what's put in front of them.
So the chicken starter will be served to those getting the beef main?

i never like the idea but most of the places up here that is the way it is. oh that is a good question FR i'm not sure i will have to ask =) most people will be happy with it i think but you can't please everyone i need to remember

Oh yum the food looks delicious!!

I am sure it will work out fine even if it's alternate serves, I would be happy with either!

here are my glass hanging decorations will have larger flowers in them just testing them out

I love those glass hanging bulbs!

The food looks delicious! What exact meals are you having?

We had alternate drop for mains and one starter (salmon) with an alternative for the non-fish eaters. I've always been happy with alternative drop if people are happy to swap. I know my husband and I almost always neatly divide them in half and swap halfway At our wedding, our bridal table of 8 all wanted to try everything so everyone ended up going halves with the person next to them There was a funny moment with 8 plates being passed around the table.

Everything looks gorgeous C!
Love love love bells dress!!!
We had fish bowls on square mirrors with floating candles and shells, it looked awesome!

Louisa we are having prawn and avo Stack or Chicken Bacon and mushroom filo parcel for Entree they were so yummy i took mum as i don't eat seafood and H was at work
then Mains garlic butter glazed chicken and Now i have change to the rack of lamb instead of the beef fillet that is pictured as it had no taste and was bland. i feel the same most people are happy to swap, i can just imagine 8 plates being pass haha.




Monica thanks we just have to cross our fingues she will wear it on the day
i want to have floating candles and rose petals or heads but i just can't get the look i'm looking for (obsessed much lol ) so i'm still playing around with it at home haha

The food sounds great! Beef fillet can sometimes be very bland. I'm a huge lamb fan so the rack sounds delicious.

We had kind of flattish glass bowls on mirrors with floating candles and singapore orchid heads (the same colour as the BM's bouquets). I'll see if I can find a pic online. They used to all be in Yahoo photos which closed down

eta - not a good photo of the arrangement - I'll have a look on the other computer:

We just got our Invites printed and Posted out last week i am in love with them it had 5 pieces to it

Nice! Very, very nice.
I love the folder idea.

Cherie, love the invites!!! The folder idea is fabulous

H2B ring arrived the other day it's awesome and different

Wow, love the invites and love love love the ring!
So exciting to have a wedding around here xo

thanks Monica

i picked up a throw away bouquet today because i'm mean and don't want to thown my one but Miss B has decided it's hers lol

I missed this the other day but that is one awesome ring! We're in the market for a new one after DH lost his in the surf a couple of months ago (and I inadvertently have video footage of the moment so he can relive his shame forever!).

One cute flowergirl too

Winsor i love how you have video footage =)



i picked up the cute book for Bell for the wedding all about being a flowergirl she will not understand yet but will be a cool keepsake

Bella looks so gorgeous in that photo!

The ring is awesome!

Windsor to having video footage of your hubby losing his ring I take my rings off for a few things only - making pastry/meatballs/chocolate truffles, and when I'm swimming in rivers/lakes/sea. I have a vivid imagination and have traumatised myself enough by the mere thought of losing them.

What an adorable flowergirl

Things are really looking great! Can't wait to see more!!

Every photo you posted is just devine. It has been way to long since we have had a wedding in here. Your DD is gorgeous!

How many bridesmaids are you having? I love the idea of the vases to put the flowers in, a very lovely keep sake. I also love the glass baubles, I just want to buy some of these to hang around my house!

Is the cake photo that you posted the one you are having or just one you like? I wedding cakes.
