    What was your fave thing of the day? I loved everything about the day. But my favourite part was when we were allowed to drive the wedding car back to the reception ourselves. We had the best time, it was lovely.

    What would you have changed if anything? I would have had no bridesmaids like I originally wanted....Don't get me started!

    Where did you get married? church? garden? registry office? eloped? In the park my Dad is the Ranger at, I also lived there when I was younger. We were marreid by a Minister who is a family friend.

    Did you have a wishing well or gift registry? or presents? No wishing well due to religious relos but we requested money as a gift which we put towards a new washing machine.

    How many bridesmaids did you have? what dresses did they wear? I had 3 Bridesmaids, they wore navy blue. 2 wore a pant suit kind of thing and the 3rd wore a dress I got off ebay for $23...long story.

    What were your table centre pieces? We had a ****tail style reception with a chocolate fountain in the middle of the table.

    Did you have a bonbonierrie? if so what was it? I didn't hae any

    What did you invites look like? did you make them or get them made? I made my invites. THey were blue and silver.

    Did you have a real or fake boquet? what flowers were they? Real flowers. I hat Tulips and Liliums (spelling?). THe BM's had tulips, I made the bouquets on the morning of the wedding.

    Anything else you would like to add feel free or even add photos

    I have some photos on my Facebook, I'm not really sure how to put them on here or how to make them so the world can't see them. So if anyone wants to see any just pm me and I'll send the link.

    What would you have changed if anything? n/a

    Where did you get married? church? garden? registry office? eloped? we will be married in the same church i was baptised & confirmed in..just to keep with tradition & to be different because everyone seems to be getting married in the gardens here

    Did you have a wishing well or gift registry? or presents? we are hoping to have a wishing well but I feel bad asking for money but we have everything we need but we want to get a new kitchen table & dryer

    How many bridesmaids did you have? what dresses did they wear? i am having 3 bridesmaids who will all be in the same dress but different colours..the colours are pink, green & purple (they are a pastel colour) however they will all have the same belt thing which is a butter yellow colour

    What did you invites look like? did you make them or get them made? we are making them ourselves but we bought the template from an invo place but we will print it ourselves. They are fold out ones which will have a frangipani backing (which will be typed on) hard to explain

    What was your fave thing of the day?

    Getting married to the love of my life. Honestly, both of us barely remember anyone else being there apart from each other.

    What would you have changed if anything?
    I would have chosen a better photographer, or used the money we spent on the photographer to buy an awesome camera and then have my BIL take the photos.

    Where did you get married? church? garden? registry office? eloped?

    We got married on a beach in Port Macquarie NSW

    Did you have a wishing well or gift registry? or presents?

    Wishing well

    How many bridesmaids did you have? what dresses did they wear?
    I had a man of honour, and 2 bridesmaids, my DH had a best woman and 2 groomsmen.
    The girls wore mint green dresses.

    What were your table centre pieces?
    We didn't have centre pieces, instead we had shells & frangipanis scattered over the tables and edible rocks.

    Did you have a bonbonierrie? if so what was it?

    Yes, 2 heart shaped chocolates & a CD of our wedding songs.

    What did you invites look like? did you make them or get them made?

    We had them made. They were fairly simple with a mint green background, an ivory coloured piece that the writing was on, and a frangipani cover. We attached magnets to the back of them which came in handy for everyone.

    Did you have a real or fake boquet? what flowers were they?

    Real. My bouquet was an arm sheath which had white oriental lillies, frangipainis, singapore orchids and white lisianthums. The frangipanis were quite expensive at the time, they were $2.50 each as we were only weeks away from having them bloom where we lived.

    Hi. Not sure exactly what a wishing well is but if you tell guests that you are planning on buying a new table and dryer most people would love to know that they can give you something that you need and contribute without you needing to feel bad.

    Good Luck with your special day!!
