Blues

I popped to the shops today to look round the sales, as I hadn't yet - waste of time. I should have known, as there was nothing good before Christmas.

Nevertheless, it was slightly productive. I went to Debenhams to check out the colour of tie the boys are having. I didn't trust the colour in the brouchure to be realistic.

But how to check the colour?! I took some paint swatches I had picked up a while back (for crafting) and luckily one matched.

So this is it - not a bad match to reality. On left is catalogue colour and on right the paint chip.

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.

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.

But no, that

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
