Just got an absolute bargain!!

hi guys,

Earlier on this week I bought some Swarovski Crystal cascade Hair Pins on ebay and today I received an email to say that they were in the post and due to the bad weather they had been delayed and as an apology she has also included 20 Swarovski hair pins and 1000 clear acrylic table confetti. Not sure what they would look like but they were free so Im happy!
Lol.

So far ive done:-

Venue (deposit paid)
Invitations for 100 people (Cost £50 altogether as I made them myself)
Photographer (deposit paid going to cost £360 altogether)
Hair and Make up (deposit paid and trial booked)
Flowers £190 (including shower bouquet for me, 3 bridesmaid poseys, 1 flower girl posey, 8 button holes, 1 top table decoration and 4 round table decorations)
Car (deposit paid and got it for £200 in the end)
Caterer booked (meeting later on this week to discuss menus)
Last night I also started making place settings, table plan and thank you cards (thought it best to get them out of the way before Im fed up of making everything)
Ive found the tiara I want just waiting for a lady to get back to me to see if she can make it for me
Im also bidding on a veil on ebay (fingers crossed)

So most of the big things are now out of they way. Ive also picked my BM dresses and my dress just trying to lose bit of weight before I get measured
:D
