Oh dear...

On Wedding By Color I have been watching one lady plan her wedding. I came across it half way through and her theme is also Marie Antoinette based. Everything she did I have trying to work out how it could work for me and admired it all, the vintage photo frames as table numbers, the flowers she had across the bridal table, her french inspired table linen.... Everything.


I haven't been on there in about 3 weeks and in doing so missed the big day but have just been gladly and eagerly reading up on it all dying to see how it all worked out on the day and well.... Fail. Epic Fail.


It just didnt work, she didnt put all the wonders that she had been gathering this whole time together properly and now my biggest fear of it all looking half done or not put together has grown. Bring on the cookie cutter wedding in the same shade of aqua as everyone else thanks!

Hm...


So we have decided floral centerpieces for the tables will be what we are going for. But how exactly has yet to be confirmed and flowers are so dam expensive!!


At the moment I am really loving these, particularly the bowl holder. Now if I can just find something like that cheap ($20 or under) we'd be on our way.

I have also sourced a flower wholesaler that has agreed to make these up ready for my granparents (mum side so not as hopeless) to pick up the Friday afternoon before the Saturday wedding when they head down as its like 10 mins from their house, so they'd be fresh. I do love the roses but they are looking at about $100 rather than the $40 for the wild flower bunch.... This is hard. What would Marie do? Let them eat cake instead I guess.

Bridesmaids.

So I have been uber slack lately with this, and I promise it will all be back to regular posting from now on.
At the moment I am really struggling with Bridesmaids. I haven't officially asked any of them yet except for Melbourne Lady and am planning what I hope to be a really special way of asking them and a fun day that I hope they really do appreciate. I want to ask them to keep the date free but then I dont want to ruin it for them as then they would know before I send out the cards.....

But its my choices that are started to bug me. I hate long engagements, they totally suck. I am indecisive about things at the best of times and this isnt helping me at all. I thought I had my 4 sorted and was just waiting till the one year mark as I've heard horror stories of Bridesmaidzilla's appearing around this mark if asked to early. So thats fastly approaching and I have the gifts for them all sorted, things that were being made have been finished and now I am questioning myself again. I really don't want to regret it like so many brides seem to do!

I knew something like this was bound to happen - another reason why I was putting it off.....

Arg to hard!! How much are those Vegas flights now??
