Wedding Scrapbook & Planning Tips
Girls, if you haven't already started your wedding scrapbook... what are you waiting for? As promised, here is what mine looks like, I picked this book up from Camden market in London from a Thai paper stall. I'm very into handmade rustic looking things...
Ah HAIR! I knew I wanted my hair out for my wedding years and years ago... although I did consider a low bun. TIP: Pick a hairstyle that you know you wont hate when you look back at photos years later!
I wanted some detail on the back...
This is what are invites looked like for our London wedding.. We opted for simple, striking and romantic :) The roses are 3d little paper ones if you can't already tell! TIP: Try and do something creative if your into nitty gritty things.. My friend went to the beach and wrote both of their names in the sand, took a photo and printed it on the invites - how adorable!
And here's a lil photo of me from our beach wedding in the Maldives.. Yes I had a long simple dress with gorgeous detailing at the back, no shoes, a flower headband and a coconut necklace and leaf bracelet! Totally care free.. We made our dreams come true.... :) My dress was by Castigliano if anyone is interested.
We also had a wedding ceremony in London followed by a reception dinner where family & close friends were invited. We didn't want a traditional big Turkish/Greek wedding and stuck to our word :)
I collected photos of what I wanted my dream wedding to be like.. We both wanted it to be on the beach.. Alot of people that knew me laughed at my idea but I just shook it off :)
As you can see i'm very romantic... I like things to be precise! These are just ideas.. NO we didn't dance in a heart shape made of candles. :)

The dress.. ah! I knew it had to be white/ivory which was long and didn't look like a cake! I tried on several dresses, you will know when it's THE ONE! Originally I wanted something floor length, halterneck and backless - no other detail! My mind soon changed...
