Table set-up-
Depending on how many people we have, this is what we're hoping for from the table layout. As for the seating plan, that's being left to Adam (not that he knows it yet :p)

Palpa-
There are also several extra large palpas on the beach that we hope to be able to decorate and use as a makeshift dance floor (or somewhere to run for shelter in case of sudden downpours!)

Food choices-
 |
| The prospective menu |
I'm currently leaning towards caprese salad (one of the best things I ate last time I was there), tomato soup, chicken cordon blue and the milk cake.
Cake-
The cake itself will probably be a simple one tier cake with turquoise ribbon around it, then with a personalised topper. This will be on a beach and have palms with the wedding date written in the sand (A <3 K?); a personalised bride and groom (designed from photos of us, my dress and hair), the mini groom will have an xbox pad in his hand behind his back ;).

Garter-
I'm really torn on this one, the one below on the left is beautiful and I love it...; however I'm really tempted to go for something like the one on the right to give Adam a giggle. The one below in an Xbox 360 garter!
Decorations-
The gazebo decorations will be moved for the reception, ideally we will be able to dec the palpa out with the voile, string squares and flowers.
Lighting-
We will also add battery powered fairy lights around the trees and the centre of the palpa, paper sand bags filled with tea lights and flare candles to stick into the sand. These infuse certain element of Glastonbury into our wedding and combines our two favourite places, albeit only slightly.
Another area in which we are attempting to incorporate Glastonbury is though a fire and [eco-friendly] fire lanterns.
Jam jar candle holders-
These are a bit of a DIY jobby that I've already had a go at., I intend to decorate them using our turtle logo as well as things like hearts, the date, our names etc. and filling them with tea-light candles and either sand or beads. Here is an example of one done properly:
and here's one I've had a play around with in preparation. I got two of these for £1.50:
Place names-
These will be the same design as our wedding announcements were and our invitations will be, as will the menus be. These will be placed in turtle photo clips.
