So it seems I have become a "real bride" without any choice of my own in the matter! Alongside the very convient escape such thoughts tend to be with recent grief often interupting my thoughts and quiet moments, I am enjoying looking forward to something positive with my loved ones in the coming year, so with wedding planning constantly in the back of my mind right now I am surprising myself with the vauable and relevant cross overs I am finding to social media, work & research focuses and business planning and the kinds of things my fiancee and I think are freaken pretty awesome to ideally have at our wedding, bearing in mind right now we are both fully embracing our own "inner kid-selves" so to speak, espically prominent since spending the last five days prior to now in Fiji hanging out with some awesome little girls and thier very fun and awesome parents so swimming & water slides, helicopter rides, dancing & painting nails (or more accuarately with Kezzies wicked enthusiasm, fingers & hands) at dinner, playing with bubbles and rocker style butterfly & love heart temporary tattoos have been our cool reality for the previous few days at least!
So... for our wedding, we are going to give the kids heaps of bubble blowers during the ceremony to keep them occupied and make sure its a kind of light hearted essence we are trying to emphasis... Kids are a big feautre of our day to be honest, big & little ones alike! So alongside bubbles, we have a focus on butterflies, games, summer entertainment, chilled out & fun vibes are what we are hoping to emphasis with our entertainment, decorations & plans...
Given this, and the venue we have secured, we have been looking at cool "toys & games/entertainment" we could potentially "like in our wildest dreams" organise if we could!
Given that Gracehills, the venue we have secured for our reception, this place has an awesome pond, a rotunda, life-size chess set etc on thier grounds just to name a few ... On their site, they state they specialise in wedding functions and say about thier grounds....
"With 5 acres of private gardens and options galore, your photographer will love capturing your special day at Gracehill. Whether it be sunset over the lake, the next play on the chess board or between the vines, your perfect photo is waiting to be found. " (http://www.gracehill.co.nz/index.php?page=gallery)
One of the coolest so far I've found is.... Water Walkers...
Originally I found these on the Go Vertical Bungy hire site- http://www.govertical.co.nz/water_walkers_video.html
But have since found there are a range & variety of ways to do something like this- of course it seems to be one of those examples of another great Kiwi concepts that have been taken world wide since...
There are no plenty of providers and of course it seems we could even buy a few of the balls from China if wanted...
