“ we are not getting the vest “ 😂😂 I laughed at that part!

[@bmm772]

I’m not engaged nor in a relationship 😆 but thoroughly enjoyed watching! X

[@maddy8278]

Same!!!

One thing that drew me to Rachel's channel is her simplicity and creativity. I can already imagine how beautiful her wedding day will be. Hope everything will go as planned❤.

[@racheleg1221]

I'd love to see more of those ☺️

[@RachelCatherine]

Will definitely film more of them!

[@georgie3608]

Who's come back here after the wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? SO CUTE TO WATCH THESE BACK

[@alyxcleary7708]

Oh my gosh i cannot wait to see your beautiful wedding ♡♡

[@RachelCatherine]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ellemichelle5092]

Ikea have 'terrariums' in the garden section (they are called SOCKER) and are identical to the wishing wells you see online however they are only $25. We have one for our wedding and just purchased a personalised vinyl sticker online for the front! such a good hack!!

[@bronnyd7654]

I had a look at these and they look perfect! Great idea.

[@laurenevans7065]

I came to comment the exact same thing !! They're such a cute but cheap alternative!

[@talia8530]

Attached is the link to the Socker Terrarium: www.ikea.com/au/en/p/socker-greenhouse-in-outdoor-white-90191726/

[@alexiabarak8653]

Would love to know how you budgeted for your wedding and if it was as expensive as you thought it'd be xx

[@minetteottogalli4267]

****PLEASE READ THIS FOR YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS***** Just a heads up with the linen jacket, it creases soooo much, my hubby wore one to our wedding and it looks crinkled up in alot of our photos around the arm and on his back (from sitting down) so make sure you take the steamer so that you can steam it out on the day before photos!!!

[@Tiarnacallaghan]

Did you watch the vid til the end? 😜

[@maddy8278]

She literally purchased a steamer and showed it towards the end of the video

[@minetteottogalli4267]

@@Tiarnacallaghan i did but got to eger to comment haha and then was like oh well...

[@minetteottogalli4267]

@@maddy8278 my point was more that she should use it before photos... Also i commented before i watched to the end...

[@jasminechloe1057]

That Kodak idea is the most genius and beautiful thing! x

[@RachelCatherine]

I’m so excited about it!

[@bliss7166]

Yesss I love these wedding planning videos!! I’m so excited for you!

[@rowanaureliamcdonald]

Rachel I would like to take a moment to be thankful for you. Thank you for always making me feel like I am one of your friends. I cannot express how happy your presence makes me. I also want to thank you for saying that your wedding could change based on covid because here in the states people still think it’s a joke. Even if there were spikes here, people would still do things like have weddings. Thank you for your honestly and being so real. 🥺

[@sarahl6245]

I AM SO SO SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES!!!!!!!

[@Benitasocute]

I’m so proud of you rachio ❤️

[@traceydavid1763]

[@czerinatupas7947]

Spotlight and TK Maxx always have some cute boxes that could work for your card box idea or your decor in general :))

[@clairesouthwell76]

So excited!

[@shaniabettsworth-taylor9729]

Have never clicked faster to see a video 😍

[@flynnbrzezek9934]

[@ransxx875]

Omdz congratulations on the engagement 😭🤧I hope everything goes well for you 🥰😘

[@renaehoyland]

Please do more wedding planning videos! I’m also getting married and found this so helpful also our styles are very similar! 💕💕

[@SamanthaWicks]

[@EvaAntonia1]

Uh, that's exciting!! ❤️

[@jaydeanita]

Love this Rach!! If I was planning a wedding right now everything would be very similar 😆

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Awesome video Rachel!😸

[@mills1131]

I feel you with the struggle of covid wedding. I already had to postpone mine from this past august to April next year. I got my card box from IKEA! Would recommend, it’s really nice.

[@emmajenkinss]

I really enjoyed watching this video Rachel, it is so exciting to see what you and Liam have chosen for your wedding so far and I do hope you upload more wedding related videos :) I have been engaged for over a year now and I am slowly starting to plan my wedding with my fiancé. We are looking at having a simple wedding and I actually have the second photo of the wedding cake that you included in this video on my phone for inspiration for our wedding cake, we must have similar taste haha :) I hope everything is going well for you both x

[@groworth]

your wedding ideas are so similar to mine! i cant wait to see photos

[@Ali_lamb]

Obsessed 💕💕

[@jessicaegberts4116]

I can’t wait to see it all come together :) maybe try Ikea for the glass box for the cards I think they may sell one!

[@aleksandriailic5454]

PERFUME!!! If you havent tried it already you should smell Gorgio Armani 'Si'. I kept compliments on it literally everyday its so beautiful

[@Kimmygrace__]

Loved the white suit idea! My hubby wore a creamy white suit jacket with navy pants ☺️ we also ordered like 5 online and sent them all back 😂

[@pippathompson67]

I used the first black and glass box for a card holder for our engagement and it was plenty big enough for about 150 cards wrote cards on it with a window marker and it came up great

[@glimmerofhope2196]

Im getting married too and I would wait (impatiently) for your others wedding videos!!

[@moo4501]

So excited for this video 🥰 where is your stunning top from ?

[@JayashaniMandila]

You bridesmaids story is just like mine. I started with Seige couldn't find the right materials so I moved to pink-purple color

[@neptune9365]

Love your content. Just an idea but maybe try Spotlight for the cards - there's a Living Space Tuscan wood house ..... it's kind of different not sure if it's suitable but it's kinda cool......mostly glass. Take care and God Bless 🙏💖🌠

[@birdybabez]

Very lovely 💕 :) also maybe try some thrift shops for the glass box maybe? 🤔

[@hayleechristine]

I am wanted to become a wedding planner so this makes me so excited to watch!! So happy for you both! It will be so beautiful. Also... are you able to link the bulk Polaroid film?

[@jacquelynpotter9913]

I love your videos.

[@xonekogairuox]

Hi Rachel, if you have a Muji near you, they do a lot of acrylic containers for your card box :)

[@riab707]

I am so excited about the wedding series!! Where is your top from?

[@flyinghigher90867]

I think ikea has a mini glasshouse. We used that for our wedding. We don’t have an Ikea here in NZ but I bought it secondhand on Facebook.

[@ardraaji193]

OMG FINALLY A WEDDING PLANNING VIDEO!!! I got engaged few weeks ago and can't wait to watch all the planning videos especially coz Ur Pinterest looks so much like mine! You should do a meet and greet!!!

[@veronicahellwig6202]

If you need to do more smell tests of perfumes you should take a little container/bag of a few coffee beans. Coffee beans reset your smell sense back to normal and you can smell them all without them all smelling the same. Hope this helps :)

[@Krystinajayne1]

IKEA have really good options for a wishing well. Some of my brides get them from there ☺️ or marketplace just put acrylic or house wishing well into Marketplace

[@tracymonique4159]

Would love to see how you curl your hair 😍😍 xx

[@maddy8278]

omg yes I need this video! I suck at curling hahaha

[@emilyjol978]

Ikea sell a white glass plant house, and it works great as a card holder/wishing well. Lots of DIYs on Pinterest

[@nikolel4962]

Maybe try Spotlight or bed bath and table for the box.

[@emilylouise6443]

Have a look at big w for a card box, my fiancé and I found ours there

[@taylorbussoletti7268]

IKEA have a white glass card holders called Socker!! Xx ✨🥰

[@sophie-pq5rq]

have a look at tkmaxx for the card tray :)

[@hannaht5338]

I think I saw something like the glass box at the Reject Shop!

[@charliephilpott9726]

Can't wait for you wedding!

[@Livvvyyyy]

Where is your top from!? You look gorgeous x

[@bellaxo4067]

Peggy & twig is an Australian buy from the bush business who have some amazing handmade pearl earrings, they do silver and gold too! X

[@EmilyCrick]

Yes my sister has a pair and I’m gonna get some myself they are so cute and well made

[@jenniferbeeman3737]

Try the container store for your acrilic box

[@erinshields1065]

Have you thought about a white wicker basket to hold your cards?

[@bronnyd7654]

Is this going to be a summer wedding? So excited for the wedding content and your beautiful future! 💜💜💜

[@maddy8278]

I was thinking this too, how the way she was talking about her wedding, it seems like it’s going to be early next year in summer

[@lilynair1257]

for your card box, maybe have a look on eBay! x

[@juliagrace418]

My sister is getting married and has a very similar theme to your wedding and she got her box from kaser craft, it was around $20 I think

[@ashleighcopeland1131]

Try looking at the Ikea greenhouse for your cards! it's only $25

[@talia8530]

Some other wedding planning videos: making wedding diys and hens night, etc.

[@AnJohnThanhNguyen]

I love your video is so awesome 💝💝🌷🌷🌷💖💖💖💟💟💟

[@daniellacrescitelli1831]

with the cards item have a look at smokemart :)

[@SS-mt4zm]

Where did you get greenery for your centerpieces?

[@onellapiyatilake8672]

Could you please like the ETSY shop you got the wax seal stamp from?

[@mollyjones3482]

Yay, you’re going to make the most beautiful bride

[@sarahgrace1604]

For cards maybe a wooden tray or basket and paint it white

[@jessicarhiannon8002]

Can you make a video of your budget for the wedding

[@shanaiahrochelle9406]

Try tk maxx for a card box??

[@kararainawright5286]

Glass box from IKEA - Socker or Bomarken

[@charliephilpott9726]

Early!

[@janines9118]

where do you get the disposable camera film developed? I cant find a place that does it (i'm only finding super expensive photo studios). cant wait to see ur dress 😄

[@darcyingold6004]

Kmart and office works do it!!

[@hannahquinn6035]

early!

[@dorcastiwaloluwaajayi4252]

Omg. Congratulations

[@brionykate6928]

It might be worth looking into how difficult and expensive it now is to get disposable film developed now! Not just as easy as walking into Kmart anymore :(

[@RachelCatherine]

I already get disposables developed and it’s not too bad! I also don’t mind spending the money for a special day like that!! 🥰

[@LiamPayne1328]

Where is your sage top from? x

[@RachelCatherine]

Op shop ❤️

[@elliebeth323]

Try to get a slot card box with a lock! People could always crash your wedding and steal cards and money

[@tmh131]

We are hoping to come to the Gold Coast from sydney to go to a wedding Jan 16th! Hope we can come and that means you guys can have your friends and fam come too

[@amandadoyle2918]

Definitely have a look at Ikea Socker Greehouse these are perfect for a DYI wishing well. you can add your calligraphy to the front www.ikea.com/au/en/p/socker-greenhouse-in-outdoor-white-90191726/
