Instax Camera

I purchased the Instant Camera for the guest book from Ebay.


I orginally saw this idea at someone elses wedding published on the internet, where they used Polaroid camera and film. But since Polaroid has gone out of production, the price has gone up. You can still get it but at $2.50 a photo, I found another alternative, Fuji Instax is the alternative to Polaroid. You can find a whole gallery of photos taken with Instax on Flickr.

The Camera is a bit big. Well its bloody massive! Its actually the size of a bread plate. But the end product will look very cool and I'm looking forward to the photos and comments

Spurling

The boys went in for their suit fittings.

Originally we looked at Ferrari Formals. They have an excellent selection of suits and frippery. But at nearly $300 per person it was a lot of money for something that we couldnt keep afterwards.

Then we went to Spurling, who have moved into Myers. They have pretty much the same selection of suits PLUS you get Myer Points!

That won me over :) and at $220 each, it was a little cheaper.

Cake Cake

We had our cake and we ate it too!

Casa Del people, write it down. Maria was the nicest person yet! and happy to throw in freebies.

So we have ordered our 3 tier cake in white frosting with gold ribbon around the base.
and then around it I have a clone of cake dolls ready to drown all bad thoughts with their cuteness!

Interesting

This has got to be one of the stranger but useful items I've come accross...

Aimed at Gentlemen with vertical issues, this item will help them add height. So if you're lucky enough to have a bride that wants to wear 5-inch hooker shoes on her wedding day, you can tower along side her subtlety... Click here to buy

Cake Tasting Saturday!!!

Cant Wait! We are going to test a cake for the wedding in the morning

Then off to Myers Bondi Junction to add more crap to the Registry List for those who are old fashion and need to BUY us something. Seriously we have EVERYTHING. But then again I really want a chest freezer. (thinks)

Anyway for anyone hip and happening. Please just a red pocket, or Lai see is fine. Our next big purchase is a place to call our own and with Sydney prices, every bit of help counts!

Just a thought those who want to give us red pockets, and don't know when, please hand them over at the greeting table at reception. And please put it in a card with your name so we can thank you later!

Suite Hire? or Sue-me on Fire?

At the cost of $300 I had been toying with the option of purchasing the suits for the boys. I mean if I can a Suit at $200 then I would have $100 to get shirt vest, tie and pocket-cheif... It would all boil down to the cost of the vest...

One place quoted me:
Hire a vest on its own is $50, To rent with a suit $15. To Buy $150. Bleh!

BLOODY. RIDICULOUS. Seriously Men of "Austraylia" You are held to ransom! Cost of apparell is so much more expensive!

That was Myers. Who have got a new Formal Hire Franchise, Spurling. Their suits are around the $220 mark, so that plus shirt and vest is around the $250 mark. Which is cheaper than the Ferrari Formal Quote. Ill try DJ's next and Chorleys too.

Makeup Artist

Makeup is a scary thing.

I've found Martha to do mine... To think getting my hair into curls, my eyes lined will cost me just as much as my dress is a daunting cost.

But... then again her before/afters do look good.

Maybe I should go back to that Chinese one stop shop lady? I thought her hairdos were too Chinese for me.

Table CP - Final Version

Wow this has been an evolution! First this then that but I think the final version looks pretty good! It has certianly swelled from the little vase with stuff in it.

Each Vase will have: (from the bottom UP)

• 15cm x 32cm Vase
• A Warm White LED Globe
• 2 x 3023 Coin Cell Batteries
• Clear Gel Balls
• Spiky Bamboo Branches
• Gold Glitter Branches
• Red Glitter Spray
• 2 x Beaded Lantern like dangles
• 2 x red ribbon fish
• 2 x gold ribbon fish
• 2 x Glass Crystal Drops

The ribbon fish are all hand-made at 2am, and the rest was pick up off ebay.

I do have some dud items however, with the spare 11 peony vases, I'll have to think of a way to use them...

Picking Bridal Procession Music

It's amazing…  How EASY it is to pick the wrong one… but how hard it is to pick the right one!

 

Well last night I went through Ed's music collection.  Bloody Oath! its extensive!  700mb of classical music and I didn't even get to Beethoven!

 

But during the process of listening to all that classical music Ed and I started grouping them into a few categories:

 

·         Walking to your funeral

·         You are happiest in a Tutu

·         Race down the Aisle

·         Contemplative and Melancholy

·         Strip tease

·         Enter Stage Left - Leaps and Bounds  ß this had us in fits of laughter

 

But at 2.45am in the morning,  I think I found the right pieces!  And both are piano solos!  Hopefully Steph likes them too!  If not… well…
