What Rebecca Did… Photos, Fancies & Fittings.
Happy New Year gorgeous RMW-ers!
So, 2013 is here, which means one thing……………..I’M GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness I cannot believe how quick the time has flown by. It feels like only yesterday that Dave had finally plucked up the courage to ask me to marry him! But that was over 2 years ago…and now we only have 6 months left! Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!
So, as you may have guessed, I’m just a teensy bit excited about 2013!
Before I get too excited we have a pretty big list of things still left to do! But we are the King & Queen of last minute so I know that it will all come good on the day! (I hope!!!)
Say Cheese!
So, did Santa bring us all that we wanted?
For Dave & I Santa was very kind indeed and along with an amazing array of gifts (we were seriously spoilt! 
) he also supplied us with some funds for our next wedding project – the photobooth! Ever since going to the National Wedding Show with my MoH, I have longed for a photobooth at our wedding, because what’s not to love about dressing up in silly hats & getting your pic taken?!! Just look how much fun they are…..
Even though we don’t really have the space for a proper photobooth, I am determined to incorporate some photobooth fun into our day. Having scoured the internet for ideas, I have discovered that a home-made photobooth needn’t be a huge challenge all we really need is this:
- INSTANT CAMERA
- PROPS
- BLACKBOARD
- HAND-MADE BACKGROUND
Time To Get Real.
Real Brides that is…
Yep, we have counted up and adjudicated all of the votes from our recent Real Brides competition and the results are in… Get ready to meet the new team, there may be a few more of them than you expected!
The quality of the submissions was totally immense – we were bowled over by so many unique stories of love and we were equally dazzled by all the pretty!
And this got team RMW thinking… The sad truth is that it won’t be too long before a few more of our current crop of Real Brides disappear off into the Weddingville sunset. Sad only for us at RMW of course! We are going to miss them all.
The good news is that we have decided to recruit not three brand new blushing brides to be, but six.
Our three overall winners were:
Group 1
You can view Kitty and Al’s story and mood board here.
Group 2
You can view Hannah and Jon’s story and mood board here.
Group 3
You can view Karen and Lee’s story and mood board here.
We have also chosen the three overall runners up (based on total votes received) to also be Real Brides.
So, we are really pleased to welcome the following couples to the RMW fold:
You can view Rebecca and Dave’s story and mood board here.
You can view Victoria and Simon’s story and mood board here.
You can view Tabitha and Chris’s story and mood board here.… View the full post.
What Kelly Did… Caught Up On A Bit Of Wedmin.
Afternoon lovely readers. This month has been an itty-bitty type of month with heaps of ‘wedmin’ (thanks Jenny Lane for that one) taken care of so be prepared for an itty-bitty type of post.
Suppliers, Suppliers, Suppliers
Now even a small, modest wedding would require the assistance of at least a handful of suppliers. Add a few other ‘ingredients’ into the mix and suddenly planning a wedding becomes more like a military operation (that teen Army Cadet training has really paid off!). At the last count we had over 15 different people / groups / organisations lined up and ready to go for our big day. One person who I am very pleased to have made the acquaintance of though is Ashleigh Millward. Ashleigh is a ‘Wedding Correspondent’ and makes, and I quote, a ‘written wedding reportage’ of the day. I think it is such a great idea and another way to remember the day by besides the photos.
Now, by no means do I count my Mum as a supplier, more like a godsend. Working quietly behind the scenes she has been working very hard on the bunting. 50 meters down 50 meters to go. Go Mum!
Dad has also been charged with making the wedding signpost; his brief went a bit like this:
Surprisingly he seemed to ‘get’ it and didn’t even bat an eye-lid (not to me anyway)! He has sourced the planks but apparently his ‘paintwriting’ doesn’t cut the mustard so we need to come up with an alternative font idea.… View the full post.
What Céline Did… Earned Herself A Break.
I’ve never had any trouble filling these polka dot pages on my previous posts, but with only THREE MONTHS to go there’s just sooo much to tell you, I’m not sure where to start this week!
First things first, our invites are finally out – hurrah! Here’s a little peak of what they actually looked like once printed:
Since my last post, Tom and I have completed our FINAL wedding planning trip to Brittany to tie up some major loose ends. Beforehand we took a couple of days off for ourselves in the Loire Valley to visit some chateaux and taste some wine (it’s a tough life). And frankly, I *highly* recommend every couple takes a couple of days of holiday from wedding planning when it all gets a bit too much. Before our holiday, our planning had descended occasionally into bickering – Tom had begun to feel overwhelmed by my constant flow of chitter-chatter, and I was becoming frustrated at his lack of interest in my ideas. At the end of the day, we were both tired and mis-communicating, and just a couple of ‘normal’ days off together gave us the energy to face wedding planning again as a team.
Once we arrived in Brittany however, we got stuck in and, in the space of 3 days, we did all of this:
- Chose our flowers;
- Finalised ceremony plans with our priest (well, almost);
- Picked our Friday night rehearsal dinner menu
- Met our DJ
- Organised Sunday lunch plans at my parents’ house
- Chose and tasted our wedding menu (yum!)
- Had a (successful!) hair trial
- Bought wedding shoes
So it was a rather busy couple of days in France then…
I couldn’t possibly tell you about everything on that list without sending you to sleep, but here’s a little photo montage of to-do’s we accomplished:
From left to right: Les Terrasses de Bréhat, the restaurant for the Friday night rehearsal dinner; a candelabrum decorated by the florist; the ‘Harlow’ hairpiece by Polly Edwards that I want to wear in the evening; inspiration for my hair; wedding shoes by Mellow Yellow; Tom and I working hard on our ceremony plans; the delicious dessert tasting.… View the full post.
