The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go!

Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and s Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and steady one. We found snow on our Saturday afternoon walk! And polar bear Rhodie LOVED IT 🐶 Sunday was a slow one too, with a mid morning walk, sweet treats and even some painting! Both me and my husband have the week off, and since the splash of colour yesterday afternoon, we seem a little more eager to get more colour in our home, pronto!

How was your weekend? What did you get up to?

Just a little snap shot from our bedroom ✨I can’t show much else in all honesty, since we still have clutter in boxes, and a tv currently living on a ladder step 🙈 But hey, my perfume collection looks just perfect for now!

It’s Saturday and the usual weekly shop is the only thing on the agenda. Maybe a quick pop to get some paint too? We both have a week off and whilst we will mainly be doing sweet F-all, we may just do some decorating!

ITS FRIDAY THEN,  it’s Saturday, Sunday WHAT?!🐶 Getting our mud pit turfed was the best decision yet. Although he can’t run the entire length just yet, he often spends a lot of time just sitting on the grass and enjoying the breeze! 
God, I love him! 🥰🐶Question is, will we finally peak out here and see snow this weekend?

How to Pick your Wedding venue

Its probably the biggest decision of the whole wedding, and yet, depending on your time limit, its one that you might have to make fairly sharpish. It’s common for many to be booked up well in advance. And if they are a popular venue ,they’ll possibly going to be pricey too. Yes, picking your wedding venue is a big deal, but its achievable and with a little vision, any venue can look perfect.

I made my decision on our wedding venue pretty sharpish Whilst I would no way say I know everything when it comes to choosing your perfect venue, I managed to book mine within a month of looking. It can be so easy to get bogged down, worried and freak out about never finding the perfect place, but you just have to be prepared.

To help streamline the whole experience for your, here’s my top tips for picking your wedding venue.

Read : 10 Things to do As soon as you’re engaged

Have a criteria

You want your venue to fall within. Whether you want a lawn big enough for a marquee, accommodation on site for guests or all within a manor house. Know what you want your venue to offer on your big day, and bare that in mind when researching venues.

Search venues

Within a 10 mile radius of your ideal location. For me, this was home. I knew there would be some guests travelling down to my home town, and I wouldn’t want it to be any further than 10 miles from home or place of stay for those guests. Whether you have a church you would like to marry in, or a location for wedding shots, base your radius within a reasonable distance from them. You really don’t want your second location or only location a far distance away, this can really impact on your day and guest attendance.

Print brochures & prices

For any venue within that radius. Gather as much information as you can on those venues without having to go and see them. You don’t want to dedicate too much time visiting venues that aren’t suitable or that don’t match your criteria, so its vital this info is obtained before viewing. Slim your to view list down to those that match your every need and are in budget. Remember your budget!

Write down anything you want to know and what could sway your decision.

Can you have real candles? When can you get in to decorate? Do you have to use their recommended suppliers? When is the full payment required? These are all really valuable questions that could sway your decision. Knowing these upfront can save you a lot of time.

Don’t take too many people to look at the venue.

Too many opinions can shadow your own opinion and really cloud your view. The venue is something you and your partner only can make a decision on. It is good to have other opinions, but too many can spoil the pie as they say.

View one venue at a time

And don’t over book yourself. Just like viewing a property, you need as much time as possible to get a feel for the venue and ask as many questions as you can. Don’t rush yourself and take your time wandering around. Make notes and take pictures if possible. These will come in handy when thinking back to that venue to compare.

Ask as many questions as you can 

And don’t worry if you forgot some. Take a contact email, or chances are you already have one, to send over any further queries you may have. Don’t be shy if you think your question may be obvious or silly. You need to make sure you have the right info to make a informed decision.

View again before you make a decision.

Viewing a venue for the second time is always a good eye opener on some of those small details you may have missed on the first viewing. Again take your time and note down anything you may have missed before hand. You’ll have a better idea this time around on what you would like so think about some of your ideas as you look round. Is there anything you’re going to have to change or compromise on. Make sure its really what you want.

You’ll know when you have found the one.

Heck I only viewed one and it was just perfect. I did so much research before hand and my criteria narrowed down suitable venues so much, it was my venue or another. We knew what we wanted and we found it without having to view many venues which was perfect. Its just like your dress, once you know you know and you won’t imagine getting married any where else.

Choosing your venue can be exciting but worrying and that is normal. But once you have found your feet and researched as much as you can, you will soon realise what is obtainable and it will get oh so exciting. Take you time and above all enjoy yourself.
