...Im thinking vintage parisian, with Burgandy, cream and vintage pink for the colour theme.
making bunting to go outside (in gardens with vintage material where i might get married if good weather)
making vintage flower bouquets with lillies and roses and more garden flowers
wanted something different for centre pieces than candles but keep getting drawn to vintage-esq cream candleabras with maybe flowers wrapped over
but doesnt seem very french (except bits of the food and the macaroons as favours wrapped in bags with mini eiffel towers hanging from it - thats where i got engaged)
any other more french ideas?xx

thanks again everyone! xxx

How about birdcages for your table centres?
Because we live & married in Blackpool we had copies of programmes from the old venues - Winter Gardens, Grand Theatre, Illuminations, Tower Ballroom, Pleasure Beach & North Pier Theatre laminated and used as our table names, with silver candelabra which looked fab - maybe you could think along those lines - Metro stations, museums, famous landmarks?

Not sure if I'm allowed to mention another forum but I was a but like you on my own organising our wedding, I joined a forum called wedding ideas magazine forum and it was brilliant as that is all everyone wants to talk about on there and no question is too small or silly.

I found it really helpful as all the ladies were going through the same thing and they have some nifty ideas for saving money on things too.

Hey Bonkers,

Firstly Congrats on your impending marriage!

Secondly whilst I have no particular ideas on tackling the various MIL, Mother etc issues I will say if you need inspiration, someone to rant at etc then fell free to keep posting. From what I've seen everyone on these boards are lovely and will be more than happy to bounce in excitement with you as well as help out with crafty ideas where they can.

You'll have an MSE wedding family before you know it
