    Well, we aren't married yet, but our wedding is in August so not long to go. Some of our ideas....
    My dress is black and white. I'm having 2 bridesmaids who'll be wearing black. There will be 3 flower girls. DF is having just the 1 groomsman. We're getting married in a garden and our reception is at the same venue in a marquee. Our flowers are going to be ruby red roses and our centrepieces will be tall cylinder vases with a bunch of red roses on a mirror with tealights surrounding it. I've made the invitations which are square, the bottom layer is black, the middle layer is a black damask patterned paper and the top layer with the writing is a bright white. There is a black satin ribbon with a diamonte buckle around the top too. Our bonbonniere is going to be toblerone bars wrapped with the same paper as the invites with the guests name printed on one side to double as the placecard. Can't wait. Here are a few pics of a few things so far.

    Great thread. We are getting married on the 13th Feb next year and Im getting some great ideas from this thread. Not feeling so guilty about picking one of the more exy photographers, his work is fantastic and he is really lovely (and her photoshops/edits/airbrushes all the photos lol).

    Larana - love the toblorone placecards! thats fantastic

    For our wedding Im going to try and make the invites which will be interesting as I don't have an artistic bone in my body. We are having choc hearts as the bomonierie. Im having real calla lillies with stephanotis (little star shaped flowers)in my bouquet. i had wanted this gorgous bouguet sith moth orchids but it was going to be about $500 so I changed my mind .
