Found the Lace

Woohoo! Ive purchased the lace for the dresses. its a beautiful off white with delicate beading. Just gorgeous! And only at $45/mtr. Thanks to Hurstville Fabric Shop on Forest Road :) But theres more!

I know my daughter/cousins/ nieces will never make use of my wedding dress. But it would be nice to pass something down to them. So I've been looking at making my own veil. And I did find the fabric i was going to purchase. But at $170/mtr and it would still require stitcing so I was having second thoughts... then i found this...

Wow! its perfect, the silver thread adding highlights. there's a very faint pink in the lace and the beading is just beautiful! Totally adored it. And best thing? it was only $13/mtr! Add 1.5 mtrs of tulle, and some small stitching and hooray a unique veil to pass onto the next generation.

Centerprieces

The Reception will be all silver serviced on the side. So that means no turning tables! AKA centerpieces.

I promise they will be very simple! A Branch of something, with a few ribbon fishes and some battery powered fairy lights. Would be nice if I could find a way to convert AC fairylights into DC... I'm still searching Google. I might have to hire but that ruins the DIY effect.

I just remembered for my engagement I came up with this as the centerpieces.

Red and White heart shaped balloons
with red and gold curling ribbon

Which was good considering I had 2 days warning! That we were actually going to do something!

Seat Allocation

I've decided that we will only organise table allocation, and leave seat allocation up to the guests.

ADV:

• No friends running around putting down guest name cards
• First in best seated arrangement

I hope everyone will be grown up enough to move around, should we end up with a couple that have to sit apart...

Pep is going to help me with some lovely guest lists which will match the rest of the stationery.

Another name

I'm searching for a photographer to capture our wedding day...

Looks like I can hire myself :P

Kuwait Cakes!

God Damn!

Jen sent me this by email. At first I thought the cakes would be depictions of a horrific war scenarios. But I now know otherwise...

These guys know how to "Build" a wedding cake... No ones going to pay attention to the bridal party with these creations standing around... Makes my dream cake look almost insignificant...
