Legally Wed

decoration...

This is the location of our ceremony. By june the leaves on the trellis should be think and green.

I'm thinking to hang flowers from the trellis to form a sort of abstract floral arch.

The scrubby plants under the trellis are lavender. I hope they'll be in bloom by june.

The distance between these two light posts is the length of our aisle (about 8m). I'm thinking to run some white fabric along the ground and sprinkle white rose petals over the edges...but I wonder how expensive 16 meters of rose petals will be? What other (cheaper) options should I consider?

After nearly a full day of running around to different florist shops and flower wholesalers, I finally found something which helped me explain my idea for the table centerpieces. Simple little vases of flowers. I will be using blue hydrangea, white ornithogalum, billy butons, coral red peonies and something green.

Having a girly day before the wedding, having fun doing the flower arrangements with my friends and family.

We bought 21 of these double-sided frames from ikea (3 per table). Here is the first example with Nico's grandparents on either side.

These will be on the table surrounded by little pots of flowers, there will be  a tall silver candelabra in the center of the tablescape.

I love the interwebs

I've found some great printable FREE stuff for a bit more floral-ness and typography to our wedding with signage.

Above is the sign for our lomo camera table.

We are already planning on using the double sided ikea tolsby frames as part of the table decor with old family photos in them. Three per table one with pics of my grandparents weddings, one with Nico's grandparents weddings and one with out parents weddings, between the frames small vases of field flowers will be scattered. Then I found this  menu/table number template, designed to go in these rames...so maybe I'll be heading back to ikea.

I'm thinking of this wallpaper as a backdrop for our DIY photobooth with this customizable sign.

and there is also this cute menu template on their site too, which matches our wedding colours (well at least the chair covers in the castle and our invites) and my ribbon rosette ideas...

wedding craft is exhausting

How cute's this?

and again

A not very good first attempt at following instructions from Martha Stewart. Messy, cheap hot glue gun wasn't playing fair either. Nevertheless I quite like where this idea is heading.

procrastination...the first rosette

I am in the middle of exams, should be studying harder but the other day I made this rosette. The first of the ribbon rosettes. It has a vintage hexagonal glass button in the center for a little bit of sparkle to tone down the military look.
