The day before.......

2 days to go and we can finally set up our wedding Marquee. The Marquee was already up on Nettlestead Place so all we had to do was create a tent into an absolute jaw-dropping dream world J

We started with sticking down our evening dance floor with our beautiful silver initials. Thanks to our amazing Uncle David Fagg J

Then we added the carpet (I say we but we just watched the carpet being laid). The carpet where everyone were going to be seated was a white/cream colour and where the guests were going to be entering was a dark beige colour (knowing it would be raining and muddy) so the mud wouldn’t show up as much!

Once the carpet had been laid we could then add all the table and chairs. We had one long table, four round tables both sides, cake table and our top table.

Table and chairs set we were able to start and DIVA/Jenna everything up J White table clothes and cutlery laid by the caterers. 

Now the fun can begin.

We started with putting the menus out to everyone (can I just add these were all handcrafted by mummy and helped by Liane and I). We bought little stick-on diamantes and stuck them next to the guests dinner choice just incase they forgot and to help the caterers out for when they delivered the guests their food on our special day day J

 We also added to the table our favors, they were Lindt chocolate bars wrapped with the same paper format as our menus with the guests names on.

Then we had our table names, each card (same format as all the others) had a different song that Josh and I love. We had the title of the song and also our favourite lyrics from the song but with a twist J the title of the songs were written in Spanish J

Our flowers were created by the BEST florists ever, Girl Flower. Take a look at their Blog on our wedding.

With everything set in the main reception we sprinkled thousands and thousands of different sized diamantes everywhere and added a couple of candles to the tables.

In the Entrance we had 6 white sofas for chilling J and an oval table where we put our wishing tree and our book for guests to sign that was beautifully created by Dalver Birak.

To display our table plan we bought a BEAUTIFUL full-length mirror where we could stick each table with our guests’ names on. So when our guests were trying to find where they were sitting they could fix their lipstick or moustache ;)

I’m not going to lie most of the last minute touches were done whilst I was sleeping, as the drastic weather was taking over the entire marquee. Mum, dad, Ryan, the mills boys and Jeremy helped created the finished masterpiece, the dry masterpiece! We are forever grateful.

I could not wait to see the finished product :)

 Bring on tomorrow (Our Wedding Day)

Bridal Shower- Part 2

As I walked downstairs and into the living room I was speechless, there was food covering every table top in sight, a dream come true J

As I walked through the kitchen I noticed to my right a sweetie table full of pink and white sweeties J YUMMY!

As I then walked outside I saw 2 wooden bars, one was a S’more bar and the other was a burger bar J They looked absolutely amazing!!! Thank you Daddy (well Emma and Ryan’s wedding hand me downs J) The whole decking was covered as well to protect us girlies from the rain!

Dad was starting the BBQ whilst the finishing touches were being done. Soon our guests started arriving J

The night started with everyone having to make their own princess tiaras out of pipe cleaners I then had to decide who created the best crown J Gotta love a competition!

It was then time to eat some delicious burgers and fresh salad from Jenna’s Burger Bar. Absolutely scrumptious.

After stuffing our faces we needed time to let the food go down so we played a game where everyone had 2 sticks, one with lips on and one with a moustache on, Liane would ask a question and then everyone would have to guess whether it was Joshua or I that had said or did it. Moustache for Joshua and Lips for Me J I know I had so much fun with this game, tricking everyone to think it was Josh when it was me, especially the passing of wind one ;) Our little secret!!

Another game we played was pass the parcel and every time the music stopped and the wrapping paper was ripped open a prize and a question or a dare would fall out! There were questions I had to answer like how josh and I met and our first kiss (luckily I got out of that questions) and then one of the dares was to practice our first dance but obviously Josh wasn’t at my Bridal shower so I had a replacement Joshua for the night J Cheeky girl grabbed my bottom!! ;)

S’more time J We had to pick our favourite biscuits and then our favourite chocolate to go inside the biscuits. We then had to put our marshmallows on a stick and hold them over the open fire (well a candle ;)). And voilà we had created our own delicious S’mores J

Once we were all stuffed once again I was presented with a surprise, a video from my beautiful cousin Jamie Fagg (who at the time was serving his mission) who had created a song/video for me which we all got to watch, what a babe!!!

I was then handed my wedding tin. For young women’s we were asked to create our own wedding tins, which would be opened during our Bridal shower. The tin included many embarrassing things including my dream wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, the temple I want to get sealed in, a letter to my future husband etc. All I can say is I was a weird young girl!! It was like opening Pandora’s box but worse!!!!

Before ending the night I was presented with the most incredible ombre cake, very talented and very scrummy J

The night was jam packed of amazing things but everything has to come to an end. The night finished with pictures, chatting and filling up sweetie/goodie bags J What a night!

I honestly had the most amazing night ever!! I am so grateful for all my family’s hard work and efforts. I really felt like the luckiest girl ever! I have the most AMAZING family and friends. I really hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. Thank you all for coming J

I love you all xxxx
