It Rained At Our Love Parade

I'm telling you now readers... I PRAYED EVERY SINGLE DAY. I SAID MY HAIL MARY'S EVERY SINGLE DAY.... Annnnnnnnnnnnnd it still POURED. It didn't just RAIN the HEAVENS OPENED.


The streamers below totaled 500mts.. they took me HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS to cut... But I think it was worth it. I hung this beautiful Dom Perignon quote in the middle of them.





The rain didn't stop us from having the time of our lives!!! We had the most amazing engagement party. Lots of laughs, dancing in the rain, cocktails, Champagne and delicious food. It all went SO quickly, I wish I could go back and experience it in slow motion.



These are our lolly bags, they were a HIT! Along with the Mr Whippy Van the two totally brought out the kid in everyone.


Annnnnnnnnnnd these are our thank you postcards, I picked them up from the printer today... once again done by the amazing Shellie!

Unfortunately these are the only photos I have, I didn't take ANY with my camera. We were too busy socializing and drinking and laughing. I know some of my friends and family took photos, I'm hoping I get a hold of them soon. In the meantime...... 
I made the decorations myself, do you guys want a tutorial on any of them?! 
Let me know!

  17. Absolutely beautiful! The Mr Whippy van is pure genius. The cards look great, (snap, Michele!) The decorations are all fantastic, so worth the time spent! A tutorial would be great, I'm really really not crafty (much to my nana's dismay haha) would be awesome to pick up some tips!
