With the 1year countdown to our wedding now on, we’ve got a clear idea of what we want and things seem to be coming together nicely and quite coincidentally! Not trying to jinx it or anything but it seems when you are more relaxed about things, and take on one thing at a time, its alot easier to handle and organise the massive list. But I’m certainly not saying its not stressful, my god it really is at some points. You just cant help stressing about even the details, but as soon as you realise its getting too much, try and take a step back and do something else. Or until your fiance makes you!
So far we have secured a venue, which is a lovely medieval barn currently being rennovated so we’ll be one of the first couples to get married, and even better its just 10minutes from where we live! I’ve also sorted my dress and the bridesmaids dresses which is a big relief. The dresses are even better than I could have imagined, and makes picturing the day even more realistic which is very exciting! We’r also in talks with a caterer and have sorted the marquee so are definitely making headway with the planning.
The trial run for the weddding flowers, of which my mother-in-law has kindly offered to grow for us was also a success. We’r planning on having a real summery mix of sunflowers, cornflowers and sweetpeas amongst others, so very bright, (as you can see in the inspiration board above). I’m also in the process of sending out our save the date cards and designing the invites, which I could spend all day doing – just so much fun and I love the fact that they are so personalised.
I’m not really aiming for a ‘vintage’ wedding theme but instead a crafted, rustic feel in keeping with the barn, along with a vibrant summer feel. I guess its got vintage style with some of the props we’ll be using but hopefully presented in quite a contemporary way.
I cant take credit for the lovely images above via Pinterest, but it sums up my inspiration from the addictive world of online wedding decoration. Any tips/pointers on wedding planning or decoration ideas do comment below!
