You don't need money to be stylish part 2

The tables and centre pieces for my wedding!

It's been a year since I wrote "you don't need Money to be stylish", which was a post on charity shops. I had such a great response to this and lots of you loved the idea that my now husband converted me into a charity shop bargain hunter ha ha ha. Since then we've had our daughter and gotten married, during both of these times we're still all about saving! during the planning of our wedding we wanted a rustic/hobbit themed wedding (don't worry we didn't dress up as hobbits) we also wanted to use our money wisely and not break the bank!

Tables & The centre pieces: we opted for wild-like flowers which were all bought from Morrisons! The bunches come to £1.20 each (bought 6) used for 4 tables and the head table. We bought the crystal glass bottles from poundland ,at obviously, £1 per bottle (10 bottles ).the table numbers were from the works that came in a pack of 4 for £1, all the artificial flowers on the tables and pined on the beams were all really cheap at only £1 per line of 2 metres. The brown mats which are actually the coconut lining for hanging baskets they were £1 for 2 (4 bought) we also scattered dried flowers on all the tables which come from the card factory in a box at £1 each (bought 8) as you can see a wedding doesn't have to be expensive!

Total cost of our table settings and head table:£60

Provided by the venue: the linen for the tables, cutlery dishes, glasses etc.

Tips: Brainstorm, plan, shop around, compare prices, go on Pinterest for ideas.

I hope you enjoyed the read

Lots of love

Harvey Browns The Island's Deluxe Farmshop During the month of October we normally have a tradition of picking pumpkins at Arreton barns in farmer jacks farmshop, but they recently moved the pumpkins to Harvey Browns. it was our first time visiting since they opened and what a gorgeous place it was. The front entrance was full of a stunning line up of white and orange pumpkins and the place was booming. We had cake and coffee in the café. All their cakes are homemade and they have a selection of cakes that are gluten free and vegan. There's also a tantalising breakfast and lunch menu. they have an open kitchen area where you can see your food being prepped! How fancy ey!? The caramel latte was delicious, I must admit I'm a bit of a coffee snob...you'd definitely want to indulge and try it you won't regret it. As you leave the café you enter the famous farm shop itself, it's full of fresh meat, br
