What's going on?

This is just meant to be a quick catch up of what's been going on this last couple of weeks, just so you know I haven't been sitting back doing nothing (just next to nothing) so it covers a bit of everything.

I've been getting in touch with a few photographers - I can tell this is going to be one of the major sticking points of the planning. We don't have a huge budget for the photos as we are not huge photo people. The disappointment of not having the one photographer we really wanted also makes it a bit harder. The other difficulty is the approved list, where we have to start our search (or pay commission to the venue).

I've got the contact details for the dress designer friend-of-a-friend, so I can get that going. Which is just as well because my mum decided to come out and tell me that she didn't really like THE DRESS! (don't get me started on that one!)

Shopping with my sister today I managed to convince her of the coloured shoes thing. J and mum don't agree but really I don't care. It will be almost impossible to find ivory shoes without resorting to v expensive ones so I'll just pick up some blue beauties on the high street!

I popped into one of the local florists last week hoping to get some info, but they basically just said to come in a month or two before. That was it! Helpful huh! But I ended up buying some pretty peonies anyway. I think I'll try another one and see if they are more helpful.

I found a great vintage/junk shop quite nearby, my new destination for anything I need to buy. I'm sure I can find some way of including something cool from there. They have loads of wooden printing letter blocks which look great.

I also saw cute blue mini buckets in asda - I think this just proves I need to make some decisions about the decor.

First signs of stress

The week started off well as we visited what will now be come known as the dream venue. It is beautiful, has a great layout and everything we need. The location seems at first glance to also be great. But then the realisation struck about the ceremony. I was doing as my very detailed and helpful to do list instructed for the 12-18 month period before W-day, and checking out the legal side of getting married. I checked the legalities of church and civil ceremonies, and only at that point found out that we can't make a civil ceremony into the religious one which would suit our complex needs, in fact you can't make it religious at all. How did I not know that? When I mentioned to my mum she said "well, yes, of course!", just me not knowing them. So that put paid to the idea of getting someone (ideally the minister from the church we went to at University) to do the service, and a prayer from J's cousin, while the registrar can just sit and watch. But no, that

Blue love

I love love love this inspiration board on The Finer Things blog for their 25th Wedding Wednesdays! Makes me feel secure in my want of a blue wedding... They posted more blue boards, based on the invite in the top row, during the day yesterday. Beautiful! Yes, I know I said I was stopping looking while the first crisis is happening, but those blog posts don't stop arriving!

Going Underground

We were walking through Greenwich on very sunny Saturday and saw some people walk through with a London Underground table plan ( Greenwich maritime is a beautiful wedding venue, we looked at it ourselves but stopped looking when we saw the price!). So that has led to a big rethink and a more modern think on the decor ideas. Roll London transport related pics: It would be a good theme as I am a transport geek! Also, many of our guests are from outside London so it would be nice to have something which is relevant to the location. Images from Bee happy designs , Hello Lucky , Anna Rosell via Bridalwave
