Polaroid guestbook! Bought it!
I wanted one of these from day one, I know the polaroid arent making these anymore I dont care even if its just for the day it'll be so worth it - just having someone take pictures of ppl as they are there and then get them to sign the guestbook straight away I love that idea! I bought a feather pen then for everyone to sign it with with my theme being butterflies and feathers. The guest book is going to be in lavender cover with silver inscription! Love it!

My moroccan lanterns!
So happy with my final choice based on inspiration from the picture I went with white moroccan lanterns in 2 different sizes in which I'll put purple pillar candles and I will have 2 mini lanterns on each table with tealights. Around these then I will have approx 10 purple votive glasses with candles! I will have butterflies then placed here and there - I have bought all of these! Another thing done thank god!!

Ask a Question
Hair accessory with birdcage veil, yes or no?
So I have bought the birdcage veil, I will be wearing the veil for the ceremony and wont be wearing for the reception. I wanted to put either a little silver crystal butterfly in my hair (upstyle have decided) or as my theme is butterflies and feathers I found this clip online which I am debating about wearing at the back of my head. I dont want to take from the veil, I know you wont see the hair clip from the front but I need some opinions on this one please. Will post the veil, possible hairstyle (post above), jewelled clip and feathered one that Im undecided on! Any opinions would be greatly appreciated please!

Wedding costs spiralling out of control!
Its about that time
Well it was due for awhile I guess we had our first argument regarding the costs of everything. As we sat down and finalised exactly what is left to pay and to get. My FH nearly had a heart attack and is feeling the pressure now to pay (I feel that he puts too much pressure on himself) so he knew from the get go what everything costed and the hotel costs and all the extras here and there. If anyone thinks going abroad is cheaper it is a big fat lie we are now looking at costs of €20,000 which is approx $29,000!!! I have been spending months and months online getting the best deals on stuff but I know the majority of this cost like nearly half (€10,000) is for the wedding "package" for us, and our 2 kids and babysitter for 10 nights to go to Mexico and stay in the hotel all inclusive! I know at the end of the day it will be worth it and everything will be ok but it can get so stressful for us both!

All OCTOBER and GREEN brides!
Very cute idea for you!
I know I recently saw a post for an October bride where she was considering doing candy apples for her favors which is a great idea. I came across these online and though that they would be perfect for any October bride or perhaps Green bride using apples as a theme!

Bridal party Chair Signs!
Pretty cute
These are also pretty fun, 8 little signs you hang on the back of the bridal partys chairs at the reception. One for the bride, groom, best man, MOH, Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom, FAther of the bride, Father of the groom - thought it was really cute!
