we made them! what a palava that was!! we bought the mini bottles from Boots (in the UK) and then bought big bottles of Aloe Vera and had to distill them. it sounds easy. it wasn't!! we had to make funnels from card and push the aloe through with a pencil! took AGES! we done 12 of the 15 and ran out of aloe, so i bought more (a different brand) and it came with a lid that kind of had a squirty funnel. with those i just squirted it directly in the bottle and filled three up in about 20 seconds!! haha! Typical! so my advice, if you're going to do it, is to check the bottles the big Aloe comes in, so you can squeeze them into the little ones easily!!

 

we made the lables at work using the monogram rebecca made for us

I had my sand ceremony stuff delivered yesterday, i am SO happy with them! I bought a 200ml bottle and two 100ml bottles from Ebay (Glass Bottles items - Get great deals on Storage Jars, Candleholders items on eBay.co.uk Shops!) and they are EXACTLY what i was looking for! I had a problem with this because most of the sites that sell sand ceremony kits are from the states. they're only about $50 for the kit, but then you have @ $45 delivery costs to the uk, and i just wasn't prepared to pay that much money. these bottles cost me £19 including delivery! Perfect!!

 

 

 

 

the big one is about 6" tall and the smaller ones about 4.5" tall. our plan is to fill the smaller ones with sand from the beach we're getting married on (about 3/4 full) and then, before the ceremony when people are arriving and taking their seats each guest has to take a pinch of sand from the beach and drop it in the main bottle, along with a wish for our future together.

 

when we do the ceremony the judge will read the wording whilst Andy and I pour our sand from our pots into the main bottle. i hope it's as lovely as i imagine!

 

also our playing cards got delivered yesterday and they are fab! love them!
