    Looking forward to seeing the pictures, I'm liking the sound of that! What a shame that you can't use your own champagne at the venue, what are you going to do with a shedful of bubbly?!

    That's a silly question! More for me! No seriously, we're going to have a house warming party and use it to celebrate.

    Ah good idea! Will that be after the honeymoon?

    What kind of glasses have you ordered for the centerpiece? Just trying to get a good picture in my head!

    Yup, we're not moving in until the day after the wedding so can't really have one before.

    Ooooh they look good! Very glam! I like how the pearls look like bubbles, it's very effective! :)

    Came to this thread late, didn't know if you can poach any ideas off this site.

    I've been trying to find something I've seen before, someone had a 50s Ice Cream parlour, where everyone helped themselves to various things to put on the ice creams. A bit of a 'create your own'

    Those glasses look AMAZING! We're not allowed candles at the venue so I can't even beg to steal your idea :(
