What was your fave thing of the day?
celebrating our love with our friends and family. we had the most awesome reception!

What would you have changed if anything?
nothing that i can think of - was pretty damn good day

Where did you get married? church? garden? registry office? eloped?
Garden at DH's besties place - which is where we initially met - so it was noice AND it had meaning

Did you have a wishing well or gift registry? or presents?
wishing well but asked for vouchers for Bunnings rather than cash - we had moved in together and had two houses full of stuff so we were sorting and getting rid of stuff so didn't need to add more - the house was in desperate need of painting and stuff, so we got the vouchers for that - got the pain for the whole house (inside and the trims out), as well as fencing material. we've just been renovating slowly!

How many bridesmaids did you have? what dresses did they wear?
two - my SIL and one of my friends. both wore deep blue dresses - i just picked the color and sent them shopping together. they hired as both figured they'd never wear them again. i was planning on wearing a silver dress that friend was going to make, but SIL found a dress similar in design in white, and got me to try it on - fell in love with it so that was that! the dress had lots of embroidery and beading on sleeves, bodice and train - loved it to bits!

What were your table centre pieces?
glass bowls with floating candles

Did you have a bonbonierrie? if so what was it?
CD of the music from our wedding per couple, and chocolate hearts for everyone

What did you invites look like? did you make them or get them made?
i made the invites myself - DH's brother passed away only days after we became engaged and we were caught up in something of a horrible legal catastrophe for months so making our invites was my stress relief! they were the same blue as the girls dresses, A4 folded in three. on the inner middle panel was the invite in either gold or silver with contrast pins holding them in - on the left panel was a little pocket containing RSVP card and wishing well poem

Did you have a real or fake boquet? what flowers were they?
real - the bridesmaids had 18 white roses each - as DH and I got married on the 18th - i had a mixture of red and white roses - 14 red (we got together on valentines day) and 16 white (engaged on june 16). i had red roses in my hair, the girls had white. DH a red rose on his lapel and silver "kerchief" - the groomsmen white rose and gold "kerchief"

Anything else
we had three child attendants - our two nieces and nephew - the girls were in white dresses with gold stars on them, our nephew in black pants, white shirt and a gold vest - he was our ring bearer (unofficially - we didn't give him the ACTUAL rings cos he was only 3!) - silver and gold cushion embroidered with our names and date of marriage. eldest niece carried a purple and yellow rose as part of our ceremony had us exchanging roses

cake - we had chocolate mud muffins for everyone to take home themselves and one larger cake that we cut. had a crystal moon and star topper. all the tables had blue gold and silver star and moon sprinkles on them.

our reception was awesome - had a band playing and we all just chilled out. was fantastic. we've been asked each year since our wedding when we're getting married again so that we can throw another kick ass reception!
