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

Real Wedding - I

Some of the best inspiration available to women (and men) planning a wedding comes from photo's of real weddings! That is why on a fortnightly basis I am going to feature a picture board of photo's from a real wedding.

I hope you get some wonderful ideas from this and if you do use any of the ideas I would love to hear from you!

Mr & Mrs *Flowerfairy* - The Wizard of Oz Wedding


I especially love the centerpieces...

I love vintage clothing and jewellery so it was natural for me to go with the vintage feel for my dress etc The rest just fell into place really! I wanted to create a make-believe feel for the day and hang on to the imagination I had as a child. It is so easy to get bogged down with real life as an adult that we tend to forget how magical things can be, so using the 'The Wizard of Oz' theme for my tables was the obvious solution!! I LOVE the Wizard of Oz and it reminds me of my childhood, unfortuanately both my parents are no longer here so it reminded me of them too. My husband loved the idea so I was given "permission" to go ahead! All of our guests had fond memories of the film and we tried to seat guests on appropriate tables i.e. two of Pauls workmates are about 5' 6" so naturally they went on the munchkin table! (ha ha) Guests were all trying to work out the relevance of why they were sat where they were. I did have to out the Wicked Witch though as I didnt trust myself! :-) The top table was of course the Emerald City! Mrs Flowerfairy

What a FANTASTIC and unique idea for a wedding, it really illustrated the bride and grooms personality and captured the imagination of the guests. Who doesn't love 'The Wizard of Oz?'
