Oh happy day!

It's a miracle - I have finally found some bridemaid dresses in the colour I want! This may seem a trivial matter, but it's taken about 6 months of searching to get to this point. Even better, there are some in the style I want too, so it's a massive relief.

In other news I ordered my wedding shoes today. I'm having them made for me as I struggled to get the style and heel height I wanted. If I found one, then the other was wrong. Can you see a theme developing?!

I've booked the fiance in for an appointment with a tailor this coming weekend, so it feels like we're really making headway with the outfits for the big day.

Just my mum to help out now...

Maid in Heaven?

If there's one thing giving me a headache in this whole planning malarkey, it's the issue of Bridemaids.

I have asked my sister-in-law to be my Matron of Honour and my two nieces will be my flower girls. However, I have been Bridesmaid for two of my best friends, and would love to ask them to return the favour, but it's something of a logistical nightmare. One of them lives in Essex and the other one is in London and they both have two kids, which means they have commitments on the weekends.

The next thing is the fact that I can't find adult bridesmaid dresses that I like. Many of them are in hideous fabrics, most of them are not available in the colour I want, and some of them are both. So even if my mates could find the time to be my bridesmaid, I'm not entirely certain I could find them something to wear!
