The DIY Bride Like all brides tobe I'm super excited and completely overwhelmed by all the options. I've decided to be a DIY bride and wanted to share it with you �

I recently popped in to a pound shop for some puppy treats and I couldn't believe the wedding range available! They had planners, table signs, wedding signs, hen badges, hen quizzes, photo probs, Invitations and so much more. I'm on my 3rd planned already, you can never have too many! If you are on a tight budget I would highly recommend taking a quick trip as you never know what you may find that's useful! And of course, all for £1 😍

I found these little gems in Primark the other day, 5 hangers for £3, I love the rose gold detail too! Great hangers if you are looking to create your bridesmaids hangers yourself. All I need is some ribbon, fancy hand writing and a pen! Will keep you updated with my progress 😍

I noticed an advert on Facebook for a Brideidea box and I just had to get one. I think I paid around £20 for mine and it came just a few days later. So inside I got a lovely pink bag which read 'I can't keep calm I'm getting married', so looking forward to using this at wedding fairs. I also got an excellent wedding planning book which I'm finding super useful, lots of hints and tips included. Now for the fun stuff, the box includes something blue diamond stickers for your shoes, lots of examples of personalised items for your big day, bride branded sun glasses and a magazine. There was also a tea towel wedding invitation which I thought was such a great idea 💡 all in all I really liked this idea, it would make such a good gift too if you know someone who has recently got engaged, or if you are like me and totally embracing your new found status! I just had to have one!

The next big thing for me was to ask my bridesmaids the big question! I was so excited that I couldn't bare to wait so went ahead and asked them asap! I set up an afternoon tea in my garden and ordered some bunting and tissue decorations from eBay, absolute bargain! I then order the bits necessary to make my balloon boxes!

If you are looking todo something similar you will need:
Boxes
Balloons
Confetti
Ribbon for bows
Card
Glitter
Diamonds (fake)
Pins to pop the balloon

Altogether I spent around £36 on eBay and there were 8 bridesmaids, so £4.50 per box. It was such a lovely afternoon, the boxes were really personal and the girls really appreciated the effort. Have fun and make your big day last as long as possible! ❤️

I guess my journey started with viewing 3 potential Venues, all of which were beautiful. Firstly Gaynes Park, The Gardens and Blake Hall. I shortlisted from around 10 that I received quotes from. I would recommend looking at as many as you can, but from my experience when you know, you know. We have picked The Gardens for our big day and I'm
So super excited. The Venue is stunning, chilled and unique, we fell in love. Be sure to use hitched to help with your search, they also have a great article for downloading questions to ask the venue. I found this so useful! http://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-planning/ceremony-and-reception/questions-to-ask-your-venue_287.htm
