The Wedding Quirkiness!

A lot of thought and planning went into the quirky parts of our Wedding, we tried to spend money wisely on the 'keepsakes', we didn't want to over spend on things we would never use again, however were more than prepared to spend on AMAZING bits and bobs!
My favourite piece was my amazingly brilliant head piece made my friend Zoe, I have known her for many years now and she was only one person I would have asked to be part of our special day, I have been to many classes at Love from Hetty & Dave but would never of attempted to make my own fascinator, it had to be unique & Zoe would be perfect! It had to include two hearts that would be 'together forever', include flowers and have a beachy vibe as we both love the beach so much, it had to include some anchors, an ode to Tracy's tattoo and also the fact we are both unsinkable. We also chose rock, a part of our staple beach diet! Haha!
Isn't it amazing!???! 'Love Rocks!'
Callum had to have something special, a keepsake too! After much discussion, we decided we HAD to include a moustache.... what better way than with a bow tie! Zoe's talented hands made that too!
 It looks much more shiny in real life than this photo shows, shiny red leather to suit the colour theme! Cal wanted to go for Top Dog as opposed to Best Man, Lolly was Top Cat! We are all animal lovers, so this was just perfect! Zoe and her husband spend hours thinking of names to go in Cal's moustache! Haha! She's a gem! We also got vintage themed tattoos for our Very Important Wedding guests, including a pin up girl on a certain young mans arm.......


Note: Cal's tattoo, bottom left
...a very pretty young lady was also 'inked' for the special day too..... did you notice?
Lolly had a Unicorn....no surprises there?!?!
 Following on with the colour theme, we looked at flowers hoping for mainly red and white. What would look cool? Romantic? What would still be alive after our mini moon so we could enjoy them? We went to a many wedding fayre's, on one fabulous day we stumbled upon a very talented lady called Helen, she had the most amazing flowers, that we could keep FOREVER! We met many times and ended up with 'the same but different' bouquet, the bespoke design was perfect!
Everything was opposite
 Bright felt and cute buttons with sweet little hearts and matching ribbons, hand made was definitely best! We loved them so much, our guests loved them too!
They were beautiful
Lolly's wedding quirkiness favourite was her shoes! They were ADORABLE if only I was the same size..... I could steal them! Haha! Also chosen.....from a choice of millions.... Miss L Fire's LOVE BIRDS won! ......see what we did there? Love birds! Awwwww! 
 The next and possibly cutest keepsake has to be our adorable cake toppers, we found the most amazing store on Etsy and sent her photographs of us, in a flash we had mini me's! They are just teeny tiny versions of us!
Love, love, love
 One of the final quirky bits that I loved, were the pencils for our guests, we do still have some 'spares' if you didn't get one, please message me....
 thanks for the awesome pictures .....our artistic friends are just ace....  
So sweet!
 The many pictures and wishes we received will be part of our many wedding albums! We currently have a 12x12 scrapbook album, two photograph albums, a smash book for the planning and two WRMK mini albums on the go! Hahaha!
I hope you've enjoyed the 'quirky bits' post! I'll be back soon with some scrapbooking xo
 
P.S. I will also soon have a scrapbookers guide to going to uni, by going to uni I mean what I've purchased in preparation! xo

I just love music.... Much more than T.V. I listen to music everyday....  Live music is even better, we seemed to have a year of concerts last year but none this year! *insert sad face here!* If you were to look on my Ipod, I can guarantee it'll be filled with Union J, Rizzle Kicks or someone else my kids love! haha! I have a varied taste in music but at the minute I'm listening to these... in no order...

One //  The Black Pearl (Body Bangers Edit) It was on repeat in Mallorca

Two // David Guetta & Showtek Bad ft. Vassy

Three // Let it Go This voice remix makes me smile every time I hear it! {If you haven't seen this... go on, press play!}

5/31 A special memory

First visit to Disneyland Paris, infact any visit to Disney has such special memories for us all
Photo stolen from Cal's Facebook!

4/31 Where would you like to be in 10 years?

In 10 years time... firstly, I just want to be here... I'd have hopefully qualified as a Nurse and have a job at the Hospital, I'd probably like to be a Nanna, with two successful children doing the jobs they've dreamed of. I'd like to be married too! The future's bright! I can't wait!

As I've only just discovered this challenge I'm running a few days behind. #BEDA Blog Everyday in August. The first prompt is an Introduction and a recent photo!
Hello everyone! I'm Michelle, I'm 30 something years young! I live with Tracy, down south in sunny Swindon but I'm a northern girl with a 'funny accent' hahaha! I have two brilliant children, Lolly {16} & Cal {14}..... I live my life to the max!

I'm currently changing my job infact my whole career, I'm leaving School to pursue my dream and become a Nurse, I've got a new job, starting at the bottom and working my way up again, I'm so excited!

I've blogged for years but then decided I hadn't blogged enough and stopped! I'm missed it loads so I returned, I'm hoping that my followers come back, I need many more hours in the day to enjoy my Scrapbooking and Project Life.

I love the seaside, London.... infact, I love exploring and being out and about! 

I love allsorts....as my blog says.... I love anything Disney, Coffee, American candy, tattoo's, bargain hunting, stationery, family days out! Oh, I love exclamation marks too!!!
This is me!
I can't wait to meet some new bloggers!
