Welcome back sleep. Glad to hear holiday went well after all the problems getting there.

MarshaBrady · 23/02/2015 20:22

Yes Blair we'll be the line of tearful proud voguettes, no problem hey Grin

MarshaBrady · 23/02/2015 20:24

Lib I loved your dungo-rant. I think we should all have one up our sleeve, if needed. Esp if Santa is taking a small break

Drywhiteplease · 23/02/2015 20:27

I'll second that Marsha

Yes, I'm getting excited about the big day too Smile may wear my headpiece at home on the day itself. Blair will we get a loo pic? Grin

MarshaBrady · 23/02/2015 20:28

Ha Dry great idea, I may dig out my antique hair thing and wear it for the day.

LinusDKD · 23/02/2015 20:33

I'll wear the hat I bought especially for an English wedding 'because all women wear hats at English weddings'

I was the ONLY one wearing a hat on the day!!!!

Maybe not, wouldn't want to scare DH away thinking I've finally lost my marbles

Oh god I put my own to pasture. Then I found my stuff had been sorted through. Someone in East Dulwich is wearing it Shock

MarshaBrady · 23/02/2015 20:48

out.

Linus your hat story made me laugh though Grin

Shop psst go get your card, lets see what we can help you buy Wink

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/02/2015 20:50

Aw you're all so sweet! I can't make any promises on the loo pic Dry but I'll try :) I wish you could all come shop!

If anyone wants to ensure live updates, they need to friend me on fb as ime that's usually the fastest way to get PICS of weddings!

Good to know you all thought the same as me, small earrings and maybe a delicate bracelet. I already have some cz studs I could wear, doesn't really feel special but I'm not going to be buying diamonds just for this sadly. If I don't go for a bracelet, maybe I could wear earrings with a small drop instead?

Any suggestions/inspiration for either? No budget as such lib, but if it's things I wouldn't wear again I'd prefer to keep it quite cheap. Otherwise... maybe up to £200 total?

Love "dungo-rant" Grin

Karbea · 23/02/2015 20:53

blair do you have your something old! something new! something borrowed! something blue sorted?

I agree with the others small, delicate, gold...

I know your weakness Shop, another glass? Grin

Blair will have a look.

Drywhiteplease · 23/02/2015 20:55

I'm drinking mint tea in bed Shop cheers.
I think we should post pics of us all toasting Blair in our hats on the day Grin

Marsha you're the Netfilx film buff, am building myself up to Rabbit Proof Fence, am waiting for next season of HoC, in the mean time can I have some film recommendations?
Watched "Diana" total crap, why did I bother? Eat, Pray, Love thank The Lord for Javier Bardem,the sexy devil . Finished The Good Wife, at a loss.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/02/2015 20:59

Karbea I don't, but I'm not bothered about such stuff, I'm sure my future MIL will want to make sure I do though Grin or my own mother...

I'm also not sure what to do about wedding underwear, given that I'm going to be wearing the unsexiest bra known to man. Would it even be worth getting some nice knickers? And do I need spanx, my fitting is next Wednesday Shock

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/02/2015 20:59

Now I'm getting into the idea of something I can wear again and looking at Monica Vinader etc...

MarshaBrady · 23/02/2015 20:59

Dry scrolling through - Suits is good fun, NYC lawyers series. Changing Lanes with Ben Affleck (love him), Arbitrage with Richard Gere, looking forward to HOC too.

LinusDKD · 23/02/2015 21:00

queenqueenie lots of denim skirts on DMBL40's blog tonight!

Drywhiteplease · 23/02/2015 21:01

Blair over budget! I've linked these before! also done in white gold earrings ii wear instead of studs. Very delicate.

Right I'm on the case Shop
£300
Silk
Bright

MarshaBrady · 23/02/2015 21:02

Blair Monica Vinader looks great, how do you feel about the rose gold? Could be good?

QueenCardigan · 23/02/2015 21:06

Don't forget we have blairs hen do. I know dry, linus and lib can't make it. fedup, stokey and amber are possibilities. ujayyi is undecided.

What about shop, sleep, novice, marsha, karbea....? Apologies if I've missed you out.

Dh recorded the oscars and is watching it now. It's intetesting to see the dresses irl rather than just a picture iyswim.

blair deginitely keep it simple. The dress does all the talking. I wore a tiara, a cz necklace that dh bought for me as a first Christmas present and a diamond bracelet that he bought me for a wedding present. I always wear earrings although can't remember what they were. My dress was very plain though with no detailing. Is your engagement ring gold. If so go for gold.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/02/2015 21:12

Rose gold could be interesting, but gold is one of my colours in my colour scheme - duh why does gold have to be so much more expensive???

Found a few bracelets... I envision something that sits close to the wrist, not a bangle or loose bracelet.
Monica V, over budget!
Is this too wide? Also a bit bangley
Cheap and cheerful, too blingy?
Do I need more gold or more bling?

I like those earrings Dry! Maybe I could find some similar without real diamonds...
