SAVE THE DATE!!!


Well this post will begin with a great big OUCH!!


I managed to smash my hand in a fire door at work a week and a bit ago, and even though it may off hurt like crazy, meant a trip to the hospital and being in pain for a while, it was some how...


A blessing in disguise...


Luckily it was my left hand, so i still had the ability to use my right hand with no bother, and seeing as I am right handed, this was very lucky.


I got signed off from work for a week, not being able to drive, clean, go to the gym, even wash my hair (i had to wait for the fiance to come home from work to do my hair, Luckily I'm marrying a hairdresser :) ) all i was left with was drawing up my "save the dates". 


Which really needed to be started as they need to be sent out within the next month.


Sooooo...


I sort off had an idea in my head, i wanted to incorporate aspects which will be appearing on our wedding day into the save the dates.


These aspects included

• Feathers (Luke bought me a ostrich feathers quill on the day he proposed)
• Crown (I am a huge royalist so i love all things Queenie. Luke took me to the Tower of London for my birthday to see the crown jewels, which also happened to be the day he proposed)
• Fleur de Lis (Luke loves this symbol, just because its pleasing to the eye, so i said it could go in)
• Filigree (Classy, beautiful, i have it tattooed on my body, you get the picture)
• Me and Luke (Well...they need to know who it came from)

Therefore...

This is what happened once all placed together...

And a trip to the stationary shop, some snazzy posh paper later

and wolah...

A bunch of Save the Dates, all ship shape and ready to be sent out

Next Year I Will Be A Wife

How super crazy is that.

Time has just gone so much faster then i actually thought it would. I have had a few months off planning the major wedding factors, such as the venue, caterers etc. But now I am back at it again.

Photographs I feel are a big factor of the day and so I am needing to phone the photographer that me and Luke want.. it's just a matter of getting time to arrange it. I have to get it done pretty soon as i want to pop down to our venue in the next few months to have a wander around and discuss possible settings for the photos to be taken.

And I am so excited!!!

i cant wait to go back and see our venue again and fall madly in love with it even more...

I wish i had taken some photos of it when i was down there to view it.. so i will just have to take some photos of the website to show you


Its an amazing setting called 'Priory Hall'.


Even the drive to it is amazing, driving through winding country lanes with beautiful cottages and farms on either side.

 (That will be me in just over a year)

The surrounding grounds are out off this world. 

Once you enter through the front gates your in this little world. from all around you all you can see is land, Trees, fields, stables, ponds, as far as your eye can see. secret gardens, orchards, you could spend hours exploring it. 

And it will be all ours for a whole day :)
