So after a stack of invitations were made, written & posted...I just had to wait and see how many would come.

The jewellery was laid out...

...with a little help from my daughter's tiny hands.

I used an actual trunk to display some of the the jewellery.

Gosh I love an old wooden box...can't get enough of them.

There were mystery bell jars with surprises underneath.

Flowers were bought from my favourite florist, Garden Gate Flowers, and strawberries were cut ready to go into the champagne glasses.

Now all we needed was some guests...

Phew!

They arrived, and we had the loveliest time.

My daughter patrolled with an i pad to show the website options which weren't on display, and made sure glasses were full and canapes were served.

It felt amazing to be surrounded by so much love & support.

Thank you ladies. You are wonderful.
