With five days to go…we are running errands and printing our order of service
Charlie
Today we woke up in our sweet little cottage that we are staying in this week and had a nice brunch…
We spent the morning (and will continue this evening) printing our order of service booklets (apologies for the blurring, but got to keep it a secret until after the day!)…
And we’ve been beetling about in town picking up odds and ends (stamps, fabric, paper), and also picking up some old skool crockery…
Oh and a bottle of pink fizz to keep us going!
I promise that I’ll share all details of suppliers, where we stayed, honeymooned, and how I made and created everything after the wedding.

Honeymoon amongst the trees in an eco-chic treehouse on the west coast of Scotland
Charlie
With my wedding less than a week away I can’t help but start to get excited about our week away afterwards. If you are on the hunt for an unusual honeymoon spot then The Treehouse at Kinlochlaich House in Scotland might be the place for you.
The Tree House is a unique octagonal eco building, perched above the ground overlooking a woodland burn on the west coast of Scotland. Outside its walls are rendered in natural lime, it has a traditional slate roof and arched windows. At its centre is a dramatic tree trunk that supports the roof.
There is a double bedroom with kingsize bed and beautiful views down the burn, a living room which looks up into the stunning roof space and the spiral oak staircase.

With six days to go…we are packing up to head south

This is the far less glamorous side of planning your own DIY and handmade wedding…
All matter of vintage ephemera, craft supplies, paint, and old bits and bobs must make their way from Cheshire to Gloucestershire. Today. With a dog and two people in tow. Help!
And this is what I’ve already taken down last week…

Pre-wedding advice for brides-to-be #1

I have received such lovely support from people on Twitter who are full of great advice for brides-to-be. I thought it would be nice to share some of their advice with any other brides out there.
A huge thank you to Greg at Gants Mill & Garden – one of our listed businesses who are a romantic wedding venue with a secluded 50 acre river valley.

Our wedding venue (my parents house) is still in a state of renovation and redecorating just one week before our ‘big day’
Charlie
Our wedding reception is taking place at my parents house. Last summer my parents decided to add an extension to their house at the same time my dad decided to go back to Uni to study to be a teacher.
I made a flying visit on Monday to drop off a carload of stuff for the wedding, and the house isn’t quite ready to welcome 70 guests a week on Saturday. Still to do is painting, grouting, and a wash basin and lights to be fitted. And those are just the things I can remember!
However, my parents are great and on top of work and everyday life they are redecorating and getting the garden looking as pretty as possible. They have even had a gate installed at the end of their garden so that our guests can walk through the field and into the garden after the church ceremony.
Above you’ll see their dog Alfie with the smart new railings and gate.

Paper bouquet and buttonhole inspiration from BHLDN

I spotted these exquisite paper bouquets and buttonholes over at the BHLDN shop and although they are pricey I thought they were lovely inspiration for any crafty brides out there.
