Cheap and Cheerful Wedding Plans: Hair Trials
http://cheapcheerfulwedding.blogspot.com/2011/03/hair-trials.html
Saturday, 26 March 2011. I recently had a hair trial with my friend Mark, who also happens to be my hairdresser and also one of our witnesses for the wedding! Well, actually I had 2 hair trials - but I'll get to that later. Here's me, all prepared for a couple of hours sitting still doing nothing! Meanwhile, Mark patiently sewed the clips into my hair extensions. Please ignore the very lazy dog int he background. Next, mark curled the hair extensions. So we decided to have another hair trial, where we wo...

Cheap and Cheerful Wedding Plans: February 2011
http://cheapcheerfulwedding.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 February 2011. T minus 6 months: Visiting the venue again. We booked our wedding venue in February 2010. We went to view it, chatted with the wedding coordinator and loved it (and the prices! So much that we booked it and sent the deposit that same day. That was a year ago (doesn't time fly? I will admit, when I realised that it had been a year since we had spoken to the venue, it worried me a little. I mean, what if they had forgotten about us? Anyway, since 6th February this year was exact...

Cheap and Cheerful Wedding Plans: Spending money = eek!
http://cheapcheerfulwedding.blogspot.com/2011/03/spending-money-eek.html
Tuesday, 1 March 2011. Spending money = eek! There have been several wedding related updates since my last post - arguably the most important of which is that I finally ordered my dress! I'm so excited - I can't wait until it is ready and I can try it on! I also ordered a simple bolero to wear with the dress, which I got off eBay for £15. I will try to remember to take a photograph of it at some point. When I checked again, I couldn't find them anywhere! Just last night, I decided to buy the test tubes t...

Cheap and Cheerful Wedding Plans: September 2010
http://cheapcheerfulwedding.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 30 September 2010. Smile on a Stick! I came across this picture on Offbeat Bride:. And I was conflicted. On one hand, this picture freaks me out. A lot. It's so creepy! On the other hand, how cool would these be as props for our photo booth? Apparently they are called "smile on a stick" and you can buy them here. For $5. But I think you could make them fairly easily yourself! A cut out picture of the bottom half of a face, stuck on a stick and voila! Here's a few more examples:. I am really ple...

Cheap and Cheerful Wedding Plans: August 2010

Tuesday, 31 August 2010. Cheap Centrepiece Idea #2. Following on from our decision to have non floral centrpieces, I have been trawling the internet for inspiration. I think it can be difficult to find centrpieces that look elegant without spending a fortune, so the plan is to make them ourselves. This means that we're looking for something cheap and simple that will still make an impact. Here's a few of my favourite ideas so far:. Candle bags from Martha Stewart. What happens to the fish afterwards?

Cheap and Cheerful Wedding Plans: December 2010
http://cheapcheerfulwedding.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 4 December 2010. Reasons I love my fiancé. There are many, many reasons that I love Karl. Some of them are more conventional, for example, reason number 3: he may act like the big man, but in reality he is a massive softie. And reason number 14: he gives the most amazing foot massages! Something happened today that has been added to my list of reasons why I love my fiancé. 9 months on Monday, actually.". Anyway, only 9 months to go! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I've had this many visitors.

Cheap and Cheerful Wedding Plans: Damson Vodka Favours
http://cheapcheerfulwedding.blogspot.com/2010/10/damson-vodka-favours.html
Saturday, 2 October 2010. A while ago, I talked about our favours and how we'd decided to have Test Tube Shots. But hadn't decided what kind of booze to use yet. Well, we decided to make damson vodka! A friend of mine has a huge damson tree in her garden, and I'd tasted some of her damson gin and damson jam before and loved it. My dad mentioned making his own damson vodka recently and I suddenly thought "Why don't we have damson vodka as the test tube shots? All you need is:. 70cl Bottle of vodka (or gin).

Cheap and Cheerful Wedding Plans: November 2010
http://cheapcheerfulwedding.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 24 November 2010. So one of my favourite budget wedding sites, The Broke Ass Bride, recently had a post. This is most definitely not the case in the UK! At least, as far as I know! I have never heard of weddings in this country having an open bar, and would always expect to pay for my own drinks if I was invited to a wedding. And I definitely do not think that this is tacky! And as for it being tacky - there is a great article. I'm sure there will be someone who doesn't like our venue, someone...
