such a good idea

When C and I where looking at venues for the wedding we thought a lot about weather and how it would effect everything. I would really loved to have had the entire wedding outside but I just didn't trust we'd get the weather particularly after the engagement party mess.

If we had our wedding outside we'd have to have a marque. I have nothing against a marque but I just didn't want a marquee, if it did rain it would be a pain to get guest in and out and if it didn't rain we'd have this amazing location and the marquee would be totally blocking the view.

But today I saw this photo and thought it was an awesome idea, if the weather is good don't put the cover over the frame, if the weather is bad but the cover on. It looks really good.

I'm in love

When I was a little kid you could walk to the corner store and buy these individually wrapped strawberry heart candies, they where the best, both C and I have memories of saving our pennies to blow it all on strawberry candy. Neither of us thought they existed anymore, but i found them on ebay when I was searching for wedding lollies and I couldn't resits. Today 3 tubs got delivered to my desk and I'm finding it difficult not to rip them open and eat them all myself.

When I get stuff like this I get really excited about the wedding, they are just fun little things that I love.

PARTY

So I've reached that point in the planning process when you become very busy with all the last minute jobs and parties. Because everyone will be paying for accommodation for the wedding I didn't really feel comfortable having anything else that would cost people money so I said no parties. However some things just aren't in my control. My sisters are putting on a bridal shower. And it was made clear by everyone that it would be a big let down to everyone if I didn't have a hens.

So a parties we are having, the hens is still being worked out but I'm also having a shower in 2 1/2 weeks. I don't really know much about whats going on, just when and where, I did ask for them to say no presents (again don't want people to think they have to spend money) but I'm not sure they did that. Since we are having party now I have 2 requests

1. we play the toilet paper dress game - looks like some much fun
2. we have a Decorate your own cup cake stand

I 1st saw the Decorate your own cup cake stand on weddingchicks.com and after checking out the entire party at Boutwell Studio I decided I must have it. So simple, you start with the cake, tell people to decorate, provided some decorations, and there you have it fun.


The whole party is put together so well, I can't wait until I have a backyard to do something like this in.

What it should be

Found on www.oncewed.com rest of this wedding is also well worth a look.

If you were to ask me a wedding cake should look like a cake you want to get, not a fancy table ornament. like this cake. I just want to want to eat it all and lick the plate clean, I mean fresh cream and strawberries who wouldn't want to eat that.

Me like

I was sent a link to .mycatwalk.com.au today now seriously want to shop. Look at this cuteness how could I not want it. And it would make such a good beach to bar outfit when I'm in Mexico.

its going to look great

I've come to the conclusion after looking around at lots of flower inspiration its impossible for them to look bad. I mean if you get flowers you like you can't go wrong mix a few different flowers together or get lots of the same and bunch than all together. I admit i do like the loss more informal flowers best but flowers are pretty so its hard to go wrong.

I'm not doing a practice run of mine until closer to the date, so I'm practicing with whats in session for the wedding, but I'm looking forward to it, I think this will be a fun project.

So more inspiration.

I scream, you scream, we all scream..

for ice cream. I have had a bit of a bad day today and this cheered me up straight away. I love the idea for a "Make Your Own Sundae" Ice cream Parlour. I'm already having a dessert buffet for my wedding, so I need to find another reason to use this one. Maybe for my next bday.

my colours

Snippet and ink, the inspiration board bible did the sweetest board today, and it used my colours (if you added a bit of light yellow/neutrals).

Found at snippetandink.blogspot.com

Not really my theme so much but shows how nice the colours work. i love the berry's, and I must have a navy striped tops to wear with a cute white shirt.

This has inspired me to create my own board.

Flower love

Some flower inspiration to start the day. i heart dahlias and I think they would be a perfect match for blue/green succulent's.
