...Spring Colours...

A Spring Wedding that pop up in my mind, that easy choice because I can have mixed colours. We have been thought about lots of different colout for wedding like Purple, or Green and Pink plus I need get away from Red, cos I know there Lots of brides love Red for their wedding. Mr Cosson favourite colour RED, as he support Manchester Utd and you know all that colour.. Red is Ban for my wedding!

Manchester United - Mr Cosson's Supporter for 29years

And the colour is RED Ban!!

Let talk about Spring Colours, Spring is an ideal season for romance. The world is buzzing with rejuvenation and expectation. Spring is for celebration, shaking off winter and welcoming back the warm weather. Couples planning to marry in the spring enjoy a variety of options when it comes to food, fashion and flowers. If you’re planning a spring wedding, think soft, clean color combinations and fresh, seasonal foods.

Spring weddings are a great time to use softer colors like:

Lavender

Baby Blue 

Pink

Green

Yellow

Thats all the colours i have on my mind...So me and Mr Cosson have pink.. the men (Best man, usher, Our father) have mixed colour, the Bridesmaid and Pageboy (Tie) have mixed colours, so its all spring!

So each Post will be researching of Spring ideas, flowers, etc etc

PS: Have a lovely Easter holiday!  

...Slightly Change the Plan...

Not getting Married aboard...

 

 Its was hardest bit that me and Mr Cosson talk about, the reason we decide that due with our family, and thought its would be nice to get more family and friends to join our special day. Another thing we thought its would be nice just two of us on honeymoon for whole two weeks..

 

We thought its for best, so we can get what we wanted, like Mr Cosson and our father and best man, etc in their suit, and Bridesmaid dresses for mine girls and Colour themes and etc etc...and that would make Our family so happy that we getting married here in UK..

 

We are looking forward to go Fuerteventura in 5 weeks and 10 days (May) to spend 2 whole weeks resting away from UK, and all the things happening for last year... Its giving us weight off our shoulder...

Coming the Next Post we are looking at Spring Themes/Colour as we wanted Get married in May time...

... Wedding Fund ...

 Me and Mr Cosson have this Wedding Fund Tin that we cant open it, had to use CanOpener. That Tin hold up £500.00 or more if lucky..

There other two saving, box for Penny (2p and 1p) and a Jag for Silver coin like 5p, 10p and 20p.

Plus we sometime save £10.00 - £20.00 each a week, if we are lucky.. that how we save our money, if any left over we still save that to the next thing like we having party back home after the wedding.

This Picture Quite little bit like mine

 

We agree if we got £2.00 Coin, that go toward to

Wedding Fund Tin. We cant use it, its was big

Disappointment that we cant spend £2.00, that sound a lot of money, but its worth it once we save so many of them..

Sometime Mr Cosson come home from work, empty his pocket, found out hes got about £6.00 (Three Coin) he knew that have to go to Wedding Fund! We will made lot end of this month but we refused to open it until full.

Mr Cosson had this Millionaire starter fund couple year ago, he did made over £200.00 but we did spend it, didnt use the canopener to open it. Mr Cosson keep shaking the tin to get the coin out the hole, which its cheating.. we glad we didnt open it so we can use it as another wedding fund maybe as 2nd Honeymoon after fuerteventura. We agree to use 50p for that, like we did with £2.00.




Here the Link where you can find the wedding Fund Tin and other ideas of wedding fund..

... Fuerteventura...

To the wonderful sunny Fuerteventura - Corralejo, In 2008 me and Mr Cosson went there for our first holiday and that where we first got engaged, we love that place, and beach, everything!

Our ideas was getting married on this beach next our hotel!

In and around the centre of the resort of Corralejo there are several golden and white sandy beaches where the water is usually calm and therefore good for bathing. Since it is the centre of the resort these can become a little crowded in peak season.The miles of white sandy beaches that disappear into turquoise waters make the beaches of Fuerteventura by far the best in the Canary Islands.

Our Hotel

The Riu Oliva Beach Resort is set in a stunning location, in the Sand Dunes, on the long white sand beach, just five kilometres away from the centre of Corralejo.

Bedrooms are elegantly furnished and offer supreme comfort. The hotel offers guests a buffet breakfast in the mornings, a cafe for lunch or small meals and a restaurant that is perfect for dining in the evening. From the outdoor swimming pools, guests can soak up the sunshine while they enjoy the view out to sea. The beauty salon offers massages and treatments.

This our hotel that we staying in May 2010 for 2 weeks, and its our second time.

That where we wanted to get married.

The Riu Oliva Beach Resort, with its wonderful location, make it an ideal destination for a relaxing getaway for both families and couples.

Here some few pictures of me and Mr Cosson in Fuerteventura 2008

Me and Mr Cosson

View of Swimming pool/ view of Sea beach

This one of my favourite picture of Mr Cosson by the gorgeous beach

Anyway that all for now, will put more informations and pictures when we come back from Holiday in may, show where the cememory/Venues etc going to be and some ideas following on soon...

1. Fuerteventura
2. Greece -Zanta or Skaikos
3. Italy
4. Turkey
5. Mexico - will probably have very small family like our parent, sisters and brother.
