It has been a busy week on my blog but not with my wedding. I was supposed to be receiving a sample wedding invitation this week but it hasn’t come yet. I will post a quick picture when it arrives!

One thing that made me smile this week was seeing my wedding dress in You & Your Wedding! I was just turning the pages and there it was, being used to advertise a bridal salon in Blackpool! That made me smile!

I’ve been looking at wedding photos this week. A friend of mine got married at the end of June at the same venue I’m getting married in next April. It was so lovely seeing all her wedding pictures, it was almost like seeing what my wedding will be like! Plus, she looked stunning and her dress was gorgeous!

So, I was thinking a lot about good wedding pictures. There are a few must have shots for wedding albums that every bride and groom need.  See more...

Right, everything is getting quite (very) busy! I wrote a to-do list off the top of my head and it had around 50 things on it… with only 28 days left AND I’m working full time. Help!

Anyway, here are a handful of new things to share, in no particular order..

Something I’ve been quite excited to share, my guestbook idea! I saw the idea of guestbook cards to fill in on a site somewhere ages ago (don’t ask where I’ll never be able to remember!), and messed around on Illustrator and came up with these instead of a traditional guestbook. We’ll leave them out with a jam jar of pens, ask people to fill them in before leaving them in a vintage suitcase. After the wedding I’ll put them into a scrapbook making a keepsake of our day, hopefully we’ll get some interesting entries!

I got Viv some new red sandals to be our flowergirl, I wanted to ‘funk’ her outfit up a bit and I’m wearing red shoes so thought it would be cute if she half matched! They also go with her headband I showed you all before.  See more...

On a whim I bought 10 7″ vinyls from eBay this week for the bargainous price of 99p with the view of somehow turning them into table names. I’ve always wanted names above simple table numbers as I thought we could turn names into another personal touch. After much discussion we decided to use songs which are relevant to us, and have marked a moment in our relationship, for instance “In the morning” by Razorlight as it as the first song we danced to the night we met, and “Dreams” by The Cranberries as it was played the night we got engaged.

During a lull at work I came across some brown wrapping paper, and lazily cut out a circle to fit the centre of a vinyl which I had in my bag (my bag is full of all sorts of rubbish- I have no idea why I happened to carry one to work, there certainly isn’t a casual record player for a quick disco in the print factory).
