One Wedding & A Million Tasks! Take 2
I am excited to tell you that we have made alot of progress with our wedding plans. I finally got Mr Style to sit still for at least an hour on Sunday to go over a few things but mainly the budget. The budget is too important to be taking on alone and to be honest it’s pretty scary stuff once you start going into detail. We were very strict with our budget when it came to things we wanted, needed and had to have and worked in reverse with our decisions! What we didn’t need we scratched off the list and what we wanted we kept. We always have to make choices in our daily lives about what we need or want and usually what we need we get because it’s obvious, but what we want we leave behind (perfect example is grocery shopping but buying the shoes we always wanted instead!). But we figured that our wedding day will come once in a lifetime (hopefully) so we want what we want! We may not even have a wedding cake because it’s going to cost R3000 and that money could be put towards something more important. We don’t believe the cake will make or break the wedding.
The best thing I did though was start a ’scrapbook’ saved in a Word document of everything I saw on websites that pertained to our colour scheme and taste. The minute I started seeing things together my ideas started making sense and I found things that I could do myself to save money such as the centre pieces. Here is a glimpse of the effect and theme we are planning which you can go to 3D Deco for www.3ddeco.co.za, contact Michelle.

Mad Hatters Hens Party
Aghh – where to start…… Ive been wanting to post this for absolute ages now and just couldnt as I was scared my bride to Be Kim D would see the theme before the batchelorette Party. So the 3 bridesmaids got together (me being one of them) and decided we were going to have a Mad Hatters Tea Party for the “Hens Night”. What a blast this was and such an awesome theme.
So, we started off with a cupcake save the date Magnet with a mad hatters hat on the side.

Jammin’ favours
I was browsing through an old food magazine from 2006 and came across a fabulous idea, which I thought would tie in perfectly with Mizz Cala Lilly’s Picnic Themed wedding.

Personalised Jam Jars make really pretty favours for your guests and can be personalised for your wedding. The ones in the pic above are really cute, and you can get your glass containers from Consol Glass and make em’ yourself.

Because it’s our choice
So far some of the people we have told we are not having any alcohol at our wedding, have given us a mouthful. Isn’t it suppose to be our choice if we want alcohol on our big day?
Bubble Sensation
Is this not the best thing you have ever seen? Left is a close up of the flower in a glass of sparkling wine. The syrup forms layers or graduates in the glass, the perfect Champagne Cocktail!
The flowers are actually the calyx or centre of the flower and contain a woody seedpod which is removed by hand by the farms growers.
Fabulous Favours
Calling all party animals!!!
Wed Bull – What a fabulous idea for your table. This can be given as the favours for your guests and will save you if you have a bar tab.
It can be presented on the table with a jagermeister and a personalised WED Bull. I have recently been so busy with this idea – its very popular at the mo :)

Personalised Wine Bottles
How about having personalised wine bottles on your tables instead of standard ones? I found this idea on a US site, and when I googled, I managed to find a great local (yes South African) site that does the labels for you and you choose the wine you want it on. How great is that?
Now here’s the best part…
