Will you be my...


It's around week 3 of my wedding planning. And I feel like I am on top of things! Hurrah! We are going to see our potential reception venue this week...a date has been penciled in, and the bridal party is coming together nicely!


Luckily, both my bridesmaid picks said yes to being a special part of our day. One of them is my sister, so she would have been in a world of trouble if she said no (not that I expected either of them to!). How could they say no with these invitations I sent them in the mail? 

Hand painted by me of course. I loved the thought of formally inviting them - it felt a touch more special than just asking on the phone or over coffee.


Now onto the save the date cards!

To vintage...or not to vintage...

When organising a wedding, one can get pretty overwhelmed with the various options out there. Even when you have a good idea/clear vision of what you want your day to look like. I seem to be stuck on crockery at the moment. I have trawled through so many blogs, and the weddings that really stand out to me are the ones with lovely vintage pieces, be it little jam jars with drinks in them, or vintage plates.

Oh...vintage plates. How I love thee and want thee at my wedding. But at almost 3 times the price to hire vintage crockery as opposed to plain white crockery, I am not sure I'll be able to stretch our budget to get there. There is always spending the next 10 months trawling op shops and antique stores and collecting a pile of plates, cups and saucers... to be honest, I will probably end up doing that. It may be the only retail therapy I am allowed to have for sometime. If you know of any one getting rid of some vintage plates or cups or cutlery or such...please let me know!

Engaged!

Welcome to my new blog! Well, I am still blogging over on 'and now i am broke', but this is my little side blog which will document my journey planning my upcoming wedding.

It all starts with a ring. And what a beautiful ring it is:

My boy has lovely taste.

I love to illustrate day to day things, so this blog will feature illustrations and ideas for flower arrangements, shoes, food etc. that I am considering for my wedding. Feel free to email any ideas (or links) that you have on wedding ideas yourself...if you don't mind me including in this little blog and possibly illustrating!
