Wedding Ideas! Number One...
Hi everyone!
I hope you're all ok!
Well, I know a lot of Carabijoux followers are brides-to-be, and I got to thinking that I'd love to share some ideas with you of things that I did for my own wedding. I had the most AMAZING day, and I couldn't have asked for any better. We didn't have a major budget for our wedding, and we made a lot of the little details ourselves. There were a few real stand-out ideas that went down so well with our guests, and I thought I would share them for you. I hope they give you some inspiration for your own big day!
The first idea I wanted to share with you was our way of celebrating other peoples weddings on our special day. A wedding is a day of love, and we wanted to extend this feeling to our guests. We asked each of them to send us a photograph of them on their special day, which we then laminated and tied on the ivy with pink ribbon outside the chapel. We also included photographs of loved ones who are no longer with us.
This was such a lovely touch, and was a real talking point as people came into the chapel for the ceremony. Our guests were reminded of their wedding day, and there was the odd giggle at the extravagant hairstyles or hideous bridesmaid dresses! Everyone commented how lovely it was.. it went down so well! You can see some of them here on this photograph...
I hope to share some of my other ideas with you soon! If anyone else has any other suggestions or inspirations I'd love to hear them! :0)
I hope you're all ok!
