Real Wedding II - Me Me Me!! Again Again...

The Evening Reception

The Coote Suite was decorated unbelieveably by Party Linen, it looked FANTASTIC!!

My centerpieces consisted of mirror plates with swarovski scatter crystal and tea lights surrounding a glass candleholder.

Our 'Cake' picture..we didn't actually have a cake we had a chocolate shop instead since my greatest love will always be chocolate!

Max pinching some Chocolate!

Our first dance, we were trying to entice Max to join us at this point, but to no avail!

Real Wedding II - Me Me Me!! Again...

It has only taken me 2 months to update you with the rest of my pictures!! But anyway here they are...

Our welcome drink was a gorgeous and warming Hot Chocolate and Baileys with shortbread rounds. It was sooooo YUMMY!!

This was my vintage style Photoboard.

To create it I used some old family wedding photographes that had been reprinted on sepia. The photo's were placed around the edge of the photoboard, and held in place with vintage hat pins and some old pieces of jewellery from my nan's collection. Dotted around the photo's were scrapbooking tags with words like... Absence makes the heart grow fonder

When people were looking at the old photos and reminissing about bygone weddings it was a lovely moment.

This was my seating plan designed and handpainted by Pink Lane it looked beautiful and matched my invitations perfectly.

This was the AMASING Baronial Suit at Highgate House, this was where we held our Wedding Breakfast. There was a beautiful bay window at one end and a roaring open fire at the other.

Real Wedding II - Me Me Me!!

MY WEDDING PICTURES ARE HERE!! They arrived on Saturday and I cannot stop looking at them!! So I thought I would share a selection of them with you, I hope you enjoy...

These are my beautiful invitations from Momental Designs they were perfect and I received so many wonderful comments about them. My favorite part is the quote in the top right hand corner from 'our' song 'Thankyou For Loving Me' Bon Jovi!

My flowers were antique pink 'Old Dutch' roses, I love the withered unperfect look.

The two little page boy's carried a Paddington Bear each which had our wedding rings tied to them.

Our GORGEOUS entourage!

Our Beautiful Boy

What? I didn't want to get cold feet!!

The traditional confetti shot!! I filled a vintage wicker basket with white hydrangea petals for the guest to throw as I wanted the illusion of snow.

We hired our brollies from Hire-a-brolly and they were brilliant, the brollies arrived 3 days before the wedding and were collected by a courier 2 days after the wedding, it couldn't have been simpler!

So thats the day covered!! I will post some pictures from the meal and reception soon!!! x

Old Photo's / Postcards

Steering slightly away from Jewellery for the moment, I love the idea of involving old postcards and photographes into your Vintage wedding day.

So here are a couple of ideas...

I was looking for some old postcards on Ebay for a project I am doing and I stumbled accross some postcards of the church that I got married in.

This would be wonderful mounted and used to decorate the front of a a guestbook or photo album and at only 99p to purchase it an absolute bargin. The postcard could also be photcopied or scanned and printed onto card to be used as an lovely invitation people are sure to keep.

If a postcard isn't really your thing, or you cannot find a suitable one why not dig out your families old photographes and see if you have some old family wedding photo's to incorporate in your stationary or theme. This could also be a nice way to honour loved ones who cannot be there.

I used some old family wedding photographes that had been reprinted on sepia for my own wedding photoboard. The photo's were placed around the edge of the photoboard, and held in place with vintage hat pins and some old pieces of jewellery from my nan's collection. Dotted around the photo's were scrapbooking tags with words like...

....................................................................................................

* Absence makes the heart grow fonder - On a photo of absent friends

* It was only a matter of time - On a photo of my new husband and I when we were younger.

* Favourite things - On a photo of our son

Here is a close up of my three favourite pictures from the board. How wonderfully do they reflect weddings through the ages.
