Give us an update...even if its just decorations you've found...especially if its decorations you've found!

Haha, seriously though, any piccies of the venue to nose over?

LOL, sorry Lulu!

Just for you I've been scouring Flickr for randomer's wedding photos!

I love the 'even more pretty flowers' - so bright and happy I couldn't go in the sea in my wedding dress!! :eek: Are you going to wear sunglasses in your pictures? I think it looks a bit odd....

There were loads of pictures of that bride in the sea, I can't believe she did that! My dress will be held up as much as possible so it doesn't have to touch the sand any more than it needs to! It's too expensive to get dirty!

And don't worry, we won't be wearing our sunglasses! I think it looks odd too, considering most of your expression is in your eyes why hide it? Think they just wanted to show off their designer sunnies!

I'm quite glad there are different flower arrangements in the pictures too, at least it looks like I have a choice, from super simple and plain to super colourful. Guess which way I'll be leaning?!

OH had to collect an undelivered invite today from the post office, how annoying! Remember I sent them without the correct postage? (Ooops! I still blame OH!) well once I found out that they were being held by the PO I sent a text to everyone I'd posted them out to to tell them and apologise about it and everyone went to collect their invites, no problem. Bar one! My best/oldest friend couldn't be bothered to collect it! I sent her a text today to ask if she'd seen the notice and she said she'd been expecting them to send it out to her again, but hadn't bothered to chase it up or to let me know that she was still waiting for it! How annoying! I'll just hold onto it for her to get off me if she can ever be bothered to visit me sometime soon, which probably won't happen as I'm always the one making the effort so I'm now running a little experiment to see how long it takes for her to get in touch and offer to come to see me for once. I'm not holding my breath!

I wondering if I should maybe send out a revised plan of events following all of the flight nonsense since we're getting married earlier in the holiday now. I'm sure people would check with us before they booked anything, but what if they don't and book to come out in the wrong week?!

i cant wait to go in the sea in mine! although mine is knee length sooo so doable! cant wait for beach hut photos and paddling in the sea! all this planning is it just me or do ideas make your head go mad! x

Birdie85

It does make you go a little crazy! I was getting sooooo excited last night when I was Flickr-ing for photos of the venue! Only 233 days until we go! :j

I'm definitely not going in the sea in my dress though, I'll have a few wandering down the beach shots but the bottom of my dress will be hoiked up over my arm! Maybe if I wasn't wearing it for the party I'd be a little more relaxed about 'ruining' it but I don't want to turn up to my party wearing a tatty looking dress!

Birdie85

Oh my word, I've found a fab inspiration for a wedding cake! Doughnut towers! How cool is this? This should be pretty cheap too!

Birdie85
