Bridesmaid Proposal Boxes + Wedding Planning Update!

I haven't really been about lately, we've been so busy planning bits and bobs! I think the last time I mentioned anything to do with our wedding, was in my goals for the year ahead blog post. Since then, we have contacted and looked around SO many venues, I couldn't even count. I'm so pleased to say that we have chosen our venue and we have set a date for September 2020!! Yes, we had decided to get married next year instead of 2021 - how exciting!

Now, moving onto how I asked my bridesmaids...

I had recently asked the four most important girls in my life if they'd be a part of my big day! My two best friends and Liams sister as bridesmaids and my sister as maid of honour. I wanted to put together something quite personal and pretty, so I hopped onto Etsy! 

Firstly, I found these gorgeous white boxes with rose gold text - you can change the colour of the writing if you'd like to. They come flat packed in the post and you build them up yourself using the sticky adhesive tabs, (which was super easy!). When you close the box, the lid is magnetic, which keeps everything safe up until the wedding day. The white bow at the front gives it a really pretty touch too.

I found these gorgeous personalised champagne flutes on Etsy too! Again, I stuck with the rose gold theme. These were super affordable, they arrived so quickly and they're amazing quality! To add another little something to the box, I found some little pocket mirrors and personalised them by putting their names on - again, these are from Etsy. They're just a cute little keepsake and they came in their own little gift bags too.

I also got some 'will you be my bridesmaid' and 'will you be my maid of honour' cards and wrote my own little message on the back of each girls card.

Lastly, I bought a pack of 4 white frames from B&M for less than a fiver! I printed off my favourite photo of each of us and popped them in the frames. The white and pink tissue paper I bought from Card Factory for 99p each. The rose gold confetti I bought from Hobbycraft.

I had so much fun putting together these boxes and they look so cute, the girls were so happy with them!
