On June 9th my youngest daughter, Stevie-Leigh and her fiance, Darren, will be getting married on the beautiful island of Cyprus.
Because they have a wedding package there has been little preparation to do this end, the wedding itself is taken care of by the wedding planner in Cyprus, Stevie and Darren just had to tell them what they wanted, we were only really left with the reception venue to book, and they had found a lovely courtyard setting last year but unfortunately the reviews for that place went downhill following covid, although it's probably not a fair representation considering how travel was and with restrictions still in place, even so, it's not worth the risk, and we hadn't had yet paid any money for it, so another reception venue was booked.
I have to say that compared to booking and arranging a wedding in the UK this has been fairly straightforward, hassle-free and much cheaper too, plus, we can more or less guarantee that the sun will shine ;-)
Stevie made her own invitations
Didn't she do a great job?
She sells on Etsy and IG, any invites, not just wedding.
Should anyone be interested or would like to know more you can email me and I will pass on her details
Stevie's dress will be here in the next couple of weeks and then there will be fittings for any alterations that need doing. The childrens clothes have to be bought, but as children grow like weeds that will be done closer to the time.
I haven't even thought about what I will wear, definitely not going for a Mother of the Bride suit though, and no hat or fascinator for me either 😅

... and the three months will just zoom by :)
A special day to look forward to, and they are lovely invitations.
All the best Jan
Maggie, your daughter did a wonderful job on those invitations. They are beautiful.
What no fascinator!!! LOL.
God bless.
It's getting close now, you must all be getting excited. The wedding stationery is beautiful, as are the happy couple, what a lovely photo. I must say, going through wedding preparations with Eleanor at the moment, I can definitely see the attraction of letting someone else do it all for you, haha.
Sounds a perfect location for a wedding, your daughter invitations are beautiful, it's not an easy task, I made my youngest daughters a few years ago, making in quantity is hard. You will look lovely in a beautiful summer dress.
How exciting I bet you can't wait, The invitations are beautiful.
I think the invitations are very nice.
I'm sure the next three months will fly by.
Happy shopping for your mother-of-the-bride outfit :)
All the best Jan
You have an exciting three months ahead, Maggie! What a wonderful location for the wedding, too. The invitations are lovely and I'm looking forward to more details as the big day draws near.
Leaving the arrangements to a wedding planner sounds like a good idea and having the ceremony and reception in Cyprus will be exciting. The invitations are very pretty. I'm sure you'll enjoy clothes shopping for this special and wonderful occasion.
Beautiful blog
How exciting! It sounds like a great way to have a wedding! I hope you will share lots of pictures!
I have just read this post. Nice young couple. Best wishes to you all for everything,
Miriam
Beautiful job on the invitations. Such fun and exciting times. Seems that destination weddings are a great option.
