A Busy Day And A Dream Venue.

Well that's another weekend over. Saturday was a busy day, visiting three venues and fitting in lunch and a tasty hot chocolate!
First was a holiday inn. It was very nice as a hotel but the function and ceremony room let it down a bit I felt. Second was Isaacs which we were both looking forward to, it was a miserable and cold day and we'd gotten there early so we went in to warm up with a nice hot chocolate and cream, yum.
It was lovely and warm so we sat down and Daniel was reading the paper, I was checking facebook. I was miles away when I heard Daniel trying get my attention. Tanya, the wedding coordinator was ready for us. We took our drinks up and we followed her through to the ceremony room. There was trailing Ivy wrapped round the Tudor beams and the lighting just made it look so lovely. Nice and fresh yet romantic and intimate.
Anyway Tanya made us feel really comfortable she wasn't snooty or too serious. The whole thing just felt so "us". I received the proposal today and now all we need to do is get the deposit together and hope it's in time before anyone else makes a booking for that day. All I've done is day dream about it. I would be so happy if we could get married there.

On the more creative side, today I have made a start on my bird cage veil today, didn't get too far though as I ran out of white thread. I forgot I left the last lot I had, at the nursery before I left. I will have to see if I can get some more and maybe some more feathers or something to cover up the base.

Snow Day

It snowed today so I was planning to spend it on wedding planning stuff, but I got side tracked taking pictures on a walk and making a snowman!

I have however ordered the sinimay base for me to make my birdcage veil. I'm currently bidding on a vintage brooch on ebay just to finish it off aswell. I will use it as decoration i think. I have a picture in my head of how I want it to look but I guess we shall see how it turns out. Something similar to the picture.

I have also arranged an appointment to go and look at a venue on Saturday the 16th of January. It's at the Holiday Inn Ipswich Orwell. The brochure they sent me was lovely so we are going to see what it's like in the flesh so to speak. Hoping it's nice as the last one which was also the first venue we have looked at wasn't that pleasant really, so looking forward to seeing this one.
