More from the Wedding Day

The amazing wedding cake was made for us by one of our bridesmaids as a gift to us. It was so perfect for our wedding and I'm convinced we couldn't have paid a professional to make one better for us!

The dress hooked up at the back for the ceilidh, it was such fun to swish around in it on the dance floor!

Bridesmaids all ready to go! It was lovely to see them all together at last as until the day before the wedding i'd only seen them try on one at a time.

My Mum did an excellent job putting together the order of service booklets.

My sisters creation of the parabrolls made for a fun photograph prop!

veil

As I hadn't posted any veil pictures up before the wedding I decided to make a quick entry now with more pictures of it. I learnt how to make one from a tutorial I found on google, and it was much easier than i had expected. I adapted the design I'd found on the internet so that the veil was long at the front and sides, and was as long as possible with the fabric I had at the back. I made my own pattern up to embroider on using a metallic blue thread, and also send on some crystals as well. 

What to do now?

Many of the wedding decorations are now finding new places to live! I had to be quite ruthless and am only keeping a selection of things.  Here is how my fireplace is now looking. ..

The wedding day

The wedding day was such a wonderful day, we had so much fun enjoying the result of all the planning and creating. Now I can put up a picture of my amazing wedding dress which was made by my very talented sister Katie, of duxbury designs. She also made the bridesmaid dresses, which were multicoloured just as I wanted to match the colours of my dress. There picture of the bridesmaids here is from the day before, so they looked even better on the day, but I don't have a picture of them from the day to post yet.  The veil I am wearing is one part of my outfit that I did make, but haven't been able to share it on the blog until now, in case the unsuspecting husband to be found it by accident

The church

The chair end decorations and the bunting I made for the church finished it off just right! I liked how the one string of bunting looked like three because of the lighting I the church. I had some other decorations that didn't fit the general colour scheme but we used to decorate the church hall where people would have cakes and drinks after the service.

The barn

It was so much fun finally being able to put everything together in the barn as I've been planning for so long. Everything came together just as planned and my team to helpers were so good at arranging things how I wanted, and adding some of heir own creativity too.

Action stations!

All ready to go the day before the wedding. This is all the stuff ready in the lounge to decorate the church and the barn. It's amazing how much space it takes up, I made so much stuff I'd forgotten what much of it was!
