A typical wedding can easily include 400-500 guests. If I'm honest I prefer more intimate personal occasions, that don't have to cost a fortune! There are a bunch of super concepts for party and event planning thanks to creative social curation sites, they have triggered my imagination, to seize the summer and take advantage of some well deserved respite.
Here I was this summer concocting a small garden party, throw in a few DIY decorative props and some hearty rustic food, drink and music. We're currently in the middle of July and so far the weather has been a total washout! It has been the wettest June and July in 100 years, you'd think us brits would be used to it by now, but even by our standards it's been grim! Scratch cocktail umbrellas out and in comes umbrella for the downpour.
It was fun while it lasted brainstorming ideas for the outdoors, I came across erento a convenient way to be able to rent everything you need, from party event hire to projectors and designer handbags for a wedding or party event.
The London Olympics will begin next Friday, hopefully that will, more than make up for the grim climate, athletes have begun arriving in their thousands, my nearest airport has been busy. Curiously enough I have not seen any TV footage on the London Olympics building up to the opening ceremony, though maybe I spend far too much time moseying on-line.
Will you be viewing the London Olympic games?

What are your plans for the summer of 2012?
Zeeesh 40,000 pounds! that's a whole lot more in Euro's. I'm with you preferring an intimate do. I suppose it depends on the person. Though I feel personal touches to a party or wedding make it more memorable regardless of price!

ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteEEEK SO CUTE. I'm totally with you! I love looking at little DIY projects. I don't like parties, I don't like weddings; I don't want to have a party or a wedding... but if I did, I think the highlight of planning it would be making all these quirky little doo-das to make the party unique! :)

I love looking at those pics, they're soooo inspiring. But as in the UK the weather in the Netherlands has been horrible as well. No garden parties for me any soon :( Although right now I'm sitting in Florence expecting the weather to be good but guess what... It's raining here too :'(

Are those cotton candy buds on branches? Whatever it is, it's adorable! Aw, this makes me want a theme party! Except that I lack the creative know-how. It'd be fun to experiment still.

I've noticed the TV seems to hardly be touching on the games as well. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI'm not attending, I would be over the moon if I was though!
