Evening all!!!

Just watching Downton Abbey DVDs, sigh!!! I am so in love with the dresses (and Bates, and Matthew...)

I went for a big walk this evening, just over an hour with lots of hills! I'm feeling very proud I prefer company tbh, but went on my own as all my friends are lazy sods.

Can you all give me ideas for table decorations pls??

Im having a bit of a mental block and really cant work out what i even want or need!!!

Thanks

I'm hoping to have something like this (nicked from pearly77's Pinterest! http://pinterest.com/pin/244390717248789220/), will be seeking old tins!

I also love mercury glass tealight holders and vintage candelabras :A

What are your colours?

Oh Silaqui, I love the lamps in your first link!!! And well done on losing 3lbs, wow!!! :T

OMG, has nobody been in here all day? I'm sending out a search party :rotfl:

OK, I need help with 3 things:

Videographer - do I go with a newish guy whose sample video looks good (for £400), or a really experienced guy who comes recommended with lots of great sample videos (for £1,200)???

Church music - should I have a friend do it, or get in the professionals for £250?

Cars - I can't for the life of me find a VW camper van for our date, grr!!! Should I give in and have a Daimler or a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow? Which are also very pretty, just not as 'quirky' as I had in mind...

Can't help with either of those decisions Wanchai - lol I'm rubbish
(We're not having either so I can't really comment).

Challenge for anyone who wants something weddingy to do.
Find me a hair comb similar to this one for as little as possible:

It has come from a google image search - and the blog site it's off says it's made from a designer in America http://cassandralynne.myshopify.com/

The oval crystals would go very well with the small bit of bling on my dress.

Oh, that is sooo pretty! Have you tried Glitzy Secrets? Sorry if it's a bit obvious

Yep - they all look a bit too vintagey/too much.

Where abouts are you wanchai? we've booked a vw campervan for ours , i can give you the website if you're on the south coast?

I've had a massive wedding spending spree last weekend, but have managed to sort out the flowers and favours! Sorting out the suits with the OH next weekend so I can sort out our personalised cake toppers, only taken 4 months to persuade him to go!

Natalie- that slide is lovely. Do you have a budget? Im looking around for you now, but think I may have to stop- I may end buying myself some bits!! I have found a nice slide I may show my sister:

Havent found anything like the one youve linked but im sure there must be a close alternative around.

Wanchai- thats difficult about the videographer, how important is it too you? The same for the music? As for the car Im no help as im no where near you.

Well done on spending spree, sounds like youve been able to tick lots of things off.
