Deck the wedding day with...what??

Here are some flower/bouquet ideas I have from florists:

  

I'm really not a big flower person so I'm looking for something simple and easy. I don't want flowers to be the main decorations at the ceremony/reception. I am obsessed with fairy lights so am really looking forward to incorporating them into the scheme of things!

I really like the idea of decorative sculptures or pillars of some sort? Gooooogle here I come.

Ice sculptures? Lol.

Bridesmaids

I'm not sure why I decided to look for bridesmaid dresses first, but I did and here's what I found. 

I LOVE them!!! They are so different. 

The girls really like them, but we'll have to see what they look like on. I have ordered a couple in Zoe and Ki's sizes. They are quite a lot taller than Char and Vicks so I think the dresses will suit them better. I'm hoping to have them by the time Char comes to visit so she can see what she thinks. I'm playing with the idea of having 2 bridesmaids in silver/grey and 2 in turquois but I'm not sure yet. We'll see what the outcome is after we have the grey dresses. 

Hopefully they will be carrying pink flowers and wearing turquoise shoes & accessories. 

I have found the cutest blue shoes...they are perfect! 

I love the idea of them having flowers in their hair also. I'm still getting used to the fact that I can pretty much do whatever I want when it comes to this wedding! I always thought there was some sort of set plan or scheme which everyone did...think I was wrong on that one! The world is my oyster. Maybe I should look out for a blue or pink wedding dress...?! 

   

Location

We've decided to have the reception at Citycoast church in Brighton. That's the church we'll be getting married in. Its brilliant mainly down to the fact that we can do (pretty much) whatever we want with the rooms we have and we will be able to take as long as we need with the setting up of things. We provisionally we're going to have the wedding reception in the ballroom at the Thistle hotel...it was beautiful but after looking at their menu and discovering what we would be able to do with the room we decided it really wasn't us. We have been offered the best catering service ever through a friend who runs a hotel in Swindon and have thought of a brilliant way to organize the reception rooms at the church. A big plus for all of you who will be traveling from Swindon, Bath, Wales, Australia (and wherever else!) is that you will only need to find one venue in Brighton and one parking spot :] I cannot wait to get the place ready for the wedding - its going to be sooo beautiful!!!
