Put up the flags!

Bunting is a great British tradition and is a perfect decoration for any celebration.

The lovely Hannah, daughter of our family friends, is a very enterprising young lady. Hannah works full time, is studying for an Open University degree, helps out with her Mum and Dad’s successful B&B and Wear Alpaca businesses, and she also runs her own business called Buttons and Bunting!

I had seen some bunting Hannah made for a wedding celebration last year, so had thought it might be nice to have some made for our home in the lead up for Lucy and Mark’s wedding.

Hannah came to visit and we looked through her purple and wedding-y materials. We measured up the fireplace, doorway between lounge and dining room and the conservatory for the bunting streams.



Lucy has already declared that she intends to use the conservatory (which has no heating) on 2nd November to do all her beauty preparations in . Sensible girl as ever, Lucy knows that she will be getting hot with the hair dryer, curling tongs, straightening irons and then make up - so she will stay as cool as she can, for as long as she can in the conservatory. So we will hang the main bunting in there.
The dining room and lounge will be filled with MOTB and the 5 bridesmaids, flower girl, more hairdressers, make up and photographers. Sounds like organised chaos? Don’t worry, there is an extra page on the spreadsheet just for “on the day” logistics!

I plan to take the bunting to the Hen do, and decorate the cottage. Then when we get home, as it will only be a few weeks till the wedding, I will put it up in the house so we can enjoy it before the big day. I may even leave it up till after Christmas...Christmas (!) that reminds me, I need to be making a start on that Festive spreadsheet too.
