The Wedding Planning Suitcase!

The ultimate planning bag! after my journals this is my most valuable planning possession

I love this bag I got it on our trip to Disneyland last year (along with “Disney Fairy Tale Weddings" dvd) & it is our wedding stuff all in the one place. Inside I keep my Hunter Valley & Knot Wedding Planner, Journals, stationery supplies, note cards, small photo album (supplier business cards & photos of things I’m looking for), colour wheel, my favourite “Sometimes Brides Forget” Post-its & as always my emergency chocolate supply!!

Only one final piece is still needed in my planning pack....the new edition WDW travel guides !

  

FRIDAY 28 NOVEMBER 2008

Woo Hoo my planning books finally arrived !!!!!

My Planning Notebook

The best piece of wedding planning advice I received was to get the biggest blank notebook I could find and keep it as my planning journal. It's so much more useful than any fill in journal I have seen; I adore both of mine and don’t know how I would survive without them now.

 All the thousands of moments that you don’t want to forget, plus it’s a great place to keep ideas, inspirations, magazine cut-outs & articles, material & paper samples, supplier details, checklists, wish list (the if money was no object I would choose), cards, letters and photo’s. I found a blank notebook on sale and covered it in paper & ribbon to make it my own. Originally mine started as a collection of notes, things I liked, things I didn’t want to forget, thoughts and a place to keep all our letters & cards we had been given.

 

 

Then we were given a fantastic selection of stickers as an engagement present, and my inner scrapbooking took over. Now I am keeping it as a Wedding Journal and I have a separate one for checklists, scribbling and all the paraphernalia you collect along the way.

My Inspiration Board

I have been working on mood/inspiration boards, to try out the ideas, colours, themes and styles I like and see what works well together.

We're finally getting married

10 years & 24 days later WERE ENGAGED .….. seriously Matt & Ness ... getting Married 2009 !

 So welcome to my adventures & misadventures of planning 2 wedding celebrations, 2 weeks apart, on different sides of the world !!

First is our home weekend celebration in the Hunter Valley and then our Destination Wedding in Disneyland.

Our budget is tight, so we will track down every contact we have, call in ever favour we can, and work hard to come up with clever & creative DIY ideas & alternatives to make the budget last !
