We have chosen the person to conduct our Ceremony, her name is Hannah and I warmed to her as soon as i spoke to her on the phone. Hannah is local to Bristol and has done many ceremonies so we are good in good hands! Hopefully by having someone that we get to know before the ceremony will mean we have a far more personal wedding and it will be a little less nerve wracking!
The alcohol has also been purchased! Phil and I had a great wine tasting session a week back and we took great advantage of the Christmas wine sales! Thankfully Majestic Wine 'look after' the wine until we need it, knowing Phil and I we would have drank our way through it if we kept it in the house!
Since the venue has been booked, I have been looking for floral arrangements for the center pieces and... well... I didn't like any of the ones I was showed. They were too small, too flamboyant or just a bit boring.
I've had this idea for some time that I would some how combine my love of knitting and crafting into the wedding so I've decided to knit all the flowers! I have knitted so many different flower patterns, bought books and completely ruined a few balls of walls to find the perfect flower pattern and it looks like this:
How cute!
Instead of the red, we have chosen purpley pinks for the flowers. Seeing as we are saving hell of a lot of money making the flowers ourselves, I decided to buy my favorite brand of wool, Rowan. Its expensive but the colour choice is so much better than the cheaper ranges.
Just a few hundred flowers to knit now...
Off to a wedding fayer tomorrow with Clare so that will be good fun! She has no idea what she has let herself in for!
Over and out for now
