Loved it đ
Yâall are doing a great job!
LOVE the entire inspo for this wedding. My daughter was married here in the US less than a year ago and we did a lot of it DIY also. It was so special, but stressful. I canât wait to see the video. Ell, the shoes are PERFECT!đ°ââïž đ€”ââïž đ
Shoes are perfect, and wedge heel so comfortable compared to other types.
I would go with the pearls for jewelry. To tie the whole outfit together. Shoes, dress, and jewelry. Have a GREAT day Fab and Ell and boys.đ
I think you should go with the pearls Ell, they'll tie your whole look together beautifully. Fabulous idea to put together the activity pouches for the younger guests. Big occasions like weddings can get a bit boring for them when all the grown ups are talking and enjoying themselves x
Why was Ell so desperate to
become pregnant before the wedding was planned?
In your vases use distilled water as it is clear and tap water can have pieces floating.
The other option is bottles of soda water.
Does your venu allow candles on the floor ?
Your ideas a beautiful. Looking forward to seeing video snipits
Loved watching this video!đ€
I got married almost 2 years ago (in august) and absolutely loved planning our big day. Like Fab, my husband didnât really know much about the plans eitherđ my mum helped me plan a lot of it.
Iâd definitely choose option 1 for the jewellery as they also go nicely with your shoesđ
One bit of advice for your day - take some time out just the two of you to take it all in. The day goes so quickly!! đ€
My daughter is getting married in the middle of august too! - I donât remember being this stressed when I got married nearly 29 years ago! đ - Itâs no wonder that weddings take 2 years to plan now, it seemed slightly easier all these years ago, not to mention the cost too! - Think Iâd run away if it was me now, although happy to say we are still married đ - TipâŠthe first twenty odd years are the hardest đ - WellâŠwe are all on the countdown now and like yourselves things are coming together but I still need to order a truck load of tissues! - Your shoes are lovely Elle đ - Iâm still undecided whether flats or blocked heels is best or both as havenât worn heels for years! - All the best for your big day guys! Looking forward to watching more wedding vlogs đ
May I ask what were the things you didn't do at your wedding that people do today?
It seems to me most weddings are quite elaborate these days, and it's expected.
But will we even remember these small details in years to come?
Wedding planning seems very....đ€Żđ
Your are reaching 40K subscribers very very soon!!! How excited is that
Omg so exciting!! We are doing a big giveaway when we do đ€
I decorated my daughterâs entire wedding. Yâall are going to save so much money. I know we did. I love your shoes! You are so creative, Ellen. I know your wedding is going to be beautiful! Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida đđŠ©đđŠ©đ
Love how teacher Ell is making sure the kiddos are entertained during the wedding
Ofcourse! đ
Hi fab and Ell , you did make me laugh when you were having your little disagreement at the beginning , my hubby of 45 yrs went, Iâve heard that conversation a million times . Your just so sweet you cheer me up so much , every time you post your videos I canât wait to watch . The boys are getting so big , youâll soon find they will probably be the only thing you argue about , or money lol . Good luck in everything and please keep posting , canât wait for the wedding .â€
Definitely option 1 the pearls they're beautiful xâ€
The children's activity pack is an ace idea. Love how you have thought about everybody who will be attending your wedding. Ell, Gorgeous đ wedding ring. Fab's is also good, forever stylish. Boys dinner looked yummy x
LmboâŠI do the same thing with shoes when I forget and put them on the table đloved the video.
Option 1, pearls are timeless & more importantly your face just lit up when you were showing them/talking about them. đ€
Love your creativity. Nailed it and saved a fortune. This video will be so helpful for all those brides to be. X
Canât wait to see your big dayđ€đ
Get bubbles for kids that always goes well
I got married in April 2022 at the wedding venue you are getting married at. Your wedding is going to be beautiful and you are going to have the most magical day. The venue staff and food are incredible. We also only picked one thing we tasted and everyone couldnât rate the food more. Xx
Iâm crying laughing!!!!!!! Your reaction from putting shoes on the table!!đ
You are very busy. Love your shoes. The kids will love the bags of gifts. â€â€
Ell pearl earrings and necklace to match your shoes â€â€
Those shoes are adorable, love the pearls and the pearly jewelry will look lovelyđ
Option 1 with the jewellery xx
You could add soap bubbles to the childrens entertainment bags. Kids love soap bubbles and they would look so beautifully when floating in the Air đ«§đ«§ especially in pictures
GREAT idea! đđ»
We got the light up glow sticks they were one of the best things we did!! đ©·
Definitely the Pearls
I love the pearl earrings and pearl necklace because theyâre so classy, especially for a wedding dress!
Aww Ell Love Love all your wedding stuff. The pearls you have to wear. Especially with the shoes now. Love them so much đ€đ€ Itâs will all look so classy. Beautiful. Canât wait to see everything đ€đ€đžđŽđ„đđšâđ©âđŠâđŠđđŻïžđ€đ€đ€Love you guys
Why am I crying đ I am going to be an ugly mess watching the actual wedding vlog đ it's going to be so beautiful. My advice to you is a one I was told on my wedding day. When everyone is dancing and enjoying themselves, find a dark corner and just stand and watch for a moment it's the best advice I was giving. The day goes by so fast you forget bits but I promise you this moment you with remember forever â€ïž
Option A will match shoes
I'm excited for you both đ€
I can't wait to see your wedding video â€
I can honestly say that my wedding was the worst one I've ever been to. It was a very unhappy marriage and relationship, for me, and I only went ahead with it because of the children we had and I tried very hard for many years to make it work because I was determined to have a stable, two parent family for our children. After twelve years I admitted defeat and had to leave with the children. I've told you before about me bringing them up entirely alone as he abandoned the children and emigrated without telling them to avoid paying child maintenance.
What I'm trying to say, my god I can talk for England lol, is that although I've chosen to remain single all these years because the kids come first, I am a romantic at heart and I can't tell you two how much I enjoy seeing the genuine love, deep love, you both have for each other. It warms my heart. I love seeing how a loving couple are because I've never had that. I was vulnerable back then when I got together with my ex husband. I was pushed into it by a parent. So to see true love and happiness is so wonderful for me and I want to thank you both for that.
I'm happy now, I have my children. Three have flown the nest and are adults. The two eldest live together about an hour away. I think it's so lovely that they've chosen to flat share, they are all very close. The third lives with her girlfriend, actually they're engaged now. I bought them tickets to see Harry Styles at Wembley about ten days ago and a couple of nights at a hotel as a 21st birthday present for my daughter and they had THE best time ever. That makes me very happy đ â€
Then I have my two younger boys at home †So I'm good đ
Thank you both for making me smile and showing me that love and happiness is possible and I'm so very happy for you đ đ â€
Definitely the pearls, with your shoes. Elegant and understated. When I got married, I had activity bags for my little bridesmaids, worked a treat. Activities are a brilliant idea đ
In America and maybe other places, gypsophilia is called Babyâs Breath
I think the pearl jewelery is so classy , very elegant, love your vlogs, keep them coming xxx
That was actually one of my favorite videos in a while. ELL, you are so talented and use your imagination and your and Fabâs wedding is going to be so beautiful. I really like the earrings with the small dangle with the diamond and the necklace to match. The boys are really changing into that really cute stage where you can enter act with them. Exciting Times, best wishes from South Carolina USAâ€
Thank you for the lovely comment! Glad youâve enjoyed đđ»
Gyp is baby breath in US. Sounds so pretty! I love the idea of the balloonâs.
Really excited for you both. The wedding day will be here before you know it. Ell, I think the pearls will be perfect now that I have seen your shoes. Enjoy the journey to the aisle!
I absolutely love your creative ideas for your wedding. So much love & thought has gone into your plans. I love your wedding shoes, they look super comfortable. I think the pearl jewellery is beautiful. I can't believe how much your gorgeous boys are developing they're amazing. Loved this video. Thank you â€x
Try and see if you can preset everything before the day of the wedding or put together a group of friends who will set up everything for you.....I was an event planner for 20 years....and I just want you to know that you have done a fabulous job of putting all the details together...Don't forget the helium for the balloons. Only blow them up the date of the reception because latex balloons will only float for about 8 hours.
Great tips!
I always wondered who sets these things up, transports them there and back etc
Surely the bride is too busy getting ready the morning of!
#1! Simple pearls are so traditional and dainty and beautiful!
Love the shoes Ellen!
Can not wait to see your wedding, by the way the âfansâ are the best idea, never seen this before.
Fab you really are the funniest- đđ just a big kid at heart.
You guys are doing ALOT! Wishing you all the best. đ
the pearls will be perfect with your wedding shoes. I think it will all tie together perfectly
It will be a beautiful wedding. So excited for you both. Pearls
Great shoes I would use the pearl earrings love all your wedding ideas
been following since your engagement...love the diamond set best, seems more bridal ...praying you best wishes
Wow your wedding is going to be so lovely, what a lot of thought and effort you have put in. Even thinking of the children that are going. You had some beautiful ideas, like doing the gold stencil press on the invitations, and then the invitations themselves being embedded with poppy seeds, just wonderful xx
†all your prep for your special day looks great. Love the shoes! I love all your videos. The babies are so adorable and you are both honest about about the ups & downs. Thank you for sharing
How exciting đso excited to see it all come together you have done amazing đ„°
Love your wedding planning and ideas †Iâm excited for you both!!
Itâs going to be beautiful â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđ„
All I can say is enjoy the day. After 43 years the best advice for married life is tolerance and a good sense of humour. Would be a good idea to check fire regs in your venue regarding the candles in the aisle, you don't want to get upset on the day over this. Very best wishes.
LOVE those shoes! Eek. Soooo excited for you both! xxx
You are doing a great job and looks like you have all bases covered. I love that you are making so many things yourself, it makes it all so special â€
You are the cutest family ever. I LOVE that you are making so much for your wedding
Make sure you trim the wicks of the candles before you lights them. Beautiful decor
Yes! We forgot this when we got married 26 years ago. We had our Mothers light a unity candle, and it wouldnât light, lol.
Thankyou for sharing you're wedding preparations. I love what I have seen you certainly have saved a lot of money . Love you're ideas and it all adds you're personal touch which is so special. †đ you're wedding is going to be amazing đ€
What a fabulous vlog today ,,,i love everything youve done yourselves for the wedding ,, the place cards are sooo cute ,,the favours ,what a clever idea Ell and the fans you are a genuius đđđđđđđ great job guys â€
Aww your wedding is gonna be amazing. Think it gives it a special touch making stuff yourself. Looking forward to watching the videos leading up to your big day xx
Wow you two are so amazing. I just love watching you. The wedding plans are going great guns and what a great idea having the fun bags for the children. Omg your boys are adorable. Take care you two and all the best with the rest of the wedding plans.
Great job Fab & Ell , your special day will be amazing !!
You've done an amazing job on all aspects, the personal touches are what really makes the day special I feel. I really like the pearl jewellery & it matches your shoes to â€
Drink every time Ell says âgypsophilaâ đđ„
I canât wait to see it all come together đ itâs going to look amazing! đ€đ€đ€
So excited for you both! Xx
Really enjoyed this video Fab & Ell.
So exciting and thank you for sharing your wedding prep. I would say option 2 for jewelry but when I saw your shoes I changed to option 1. Ellen your shoes are stunning. They look so expensive, they are more than perfect. Canât wait to see you all looking smart and enjoying your special day. Doing some of your own wedding items makes it extra special, and still a high quality. Wouldnât expect anything but the best with Ells designer eye! Xx
Enjoyed the vlog Ell , Fab đđđ see you all next week đđđ
Biggest piece advice I can give you (got married last year). Get one of your bridal party or whoever to make you a plate of food if you have an evening buffet and put it in your bridal suite! You wonât have time to eat and let me tell you, that plate of food is heaven when your tired and a bit tipsy!
You will both have such a beautiful day, youâve done a great job with everything so far. I had the wooden centre pieces with the jam jars and the same flowers and they looked stunning and gorgeous in photographs. Also just an idea (I also went for cheaper but gorgeous shoes) and I ordered some shoe decals for the bottom and also on my partners and our photographer got some gorgeous pics while we were getting ready of our shoes in front of the flowers with the lovely decals showing.
We got married 4 years ago this August and seeing your prep is making me wish I could do it all over again đ
So Happy for you both...it will be beautiful. Like the Pearls
Your wedding day is going to be memorable and beautiful!!! Ell I did a lot of little bits on our wedding day to save money also, itâs was 25 years ago in October đ„łđ€Șđ©·So my advice is donât stress about all the fine details it will come together, I stressed so much I woke up so sick the next day, take vitamins C and youâll be good as Gold!!! Love watching your show and canât wait for the wedding videođWith much love Rebecca from the US
Designing and creating ur own wedding must be an awful lot of work but you are such an organised couple it will definitely be a wonderful day to remember .
Ellen, you are sooo organised and relaxed it really will be a magical day for everyone .
I really love the shoes too, makes me think of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz!
Noah and Ari also so happy and will love seeing everyone!đ„°
A big thank u for letting us have a sneaky look. As alwaysâŠtake care love Lucy, Weymouth x x x x đđđđ
Ellen, your skin is glowing all through this video!
Love your wedding shoes Ell. Great call for saving money on something you can hardly see and will wear once! And also comfort is so important on the day đđ»đ
Would love to see how you made the flowers, it would be so handy for my wedding and like you say so much more cheaper than buying them from someone x
So excited for your both! Loved this. Option 1 with the pearls for jewellery. The shoes are beautiful. xxđ
Again, congratulations, y-all are doing a great job. You come a long way, and the boys look great đđđ
Love ur channel â€
40k here we come !
Wooo đ„ł
Love everything. Beautiful!â€
Really lovely video. I think you need to wear the pearl necklace and earrings, will also tie in with your shoes, which are beautiful, by the way. Everything is going to be beautiful â€
Aww love this đ reminds me of when I planned our wedding over 7 years ago. Will look forward to seeing more xxx
Hi Fab & Ell, your wedding has been well thought out. Lots and lots of effort made by both of you. Teamwork. Good sign. Ell, pearl earrings and necklace will match your wedding shoes. Can't wait for your wedding day to arrive. X
Everything thing looks lovely. Ell you can't go wrong with either set of jewelry, they are fabulous. The shoes you got are perfect and very cute. Happy wedding day to the both of you. Always remember best ideas come from team work.
I love the pearl option is my favorite. Your wedding is going to be beautiful I can't wait to see the wedding vlog/video

I'm getting married at the same venue on the same week. We also went for the Mango and Brie parcels, they were amazing! Hope you have the most amazing day đ
Hello! would you mind telling me the name of the venue? Itâs absolutely stunning! đ
Thanks for sharing loved the video xx
Those shoes đ„°đ„°đ„°
Pearl earrings for sure they match your shoes. And 3rd necklace. And place cards not names. Everything looks lovely and tic tac toe is a cute idea for the parting gift
Enjoyed seeing all of your prep! It is going to be a beautiful wedding and I can't wait to see the video! Great job, you two!!! Love from Ontario, Canada
Thank you so much! đđ»
Same I had pearls on my weddin day đvery nice your wedding shoes are gorgeous đ
Hi to the both of you, I rarely comment on videos but I hope you donât mind me giving you some tips on making the wax seals on the place names.
You can buy wax strips and can place them in a hot glue gun and it will melt it for you rather than it taking a while over the candle.
They look really good and I cannot wait for the wedding!!!
I get married end of August too! DIYâing stuff is so time consuming I donât know how you guys are doing it with twins - smashing it đđŒ I found this so helpful and fun to watch, please do more wedding vids đ x
