You know THAT dress, well it all went tits up [snurk] but after 33 shops, 2 department stores and 6 hours.... I present to you.....

[S1ur]

Ta-dah

Go on, it's nice right?

Heh, really didn't see myself in white but hey, too pretty a dress to resist.

I wanted to say thank you to all of you who put in loads of advice on the other thread and to apologise if any of you felt like you'd wasted your time. You certainly didn't, that dress will still be worn (when repaired) to many a party! But I'm just relieved to have sorted something for the wedding.

Disclaimer: I had to use the camera timer for the first time and then run back to get in shot and pose whilst supervising two toddlers who were imitating me.

There is a lovely orchid cake topper on ebay Item number: 220229088531.
One of my favourite wedding websites is lovesme loves me knot. Though the website is down re doing the layout but worth ringing them as I love the floating orchid candles.

the dress lloks lovely on you but the shoes ming (sorry)

www.lovesmelovesmeknot.co.uk/spring-wedding-ideas.asp?page=2 these type of things they do if link works. Why doesn`t it work when I leave a space and then do links ???

Thank you!

And cheers very much for offers of shoes, Cod I am size 3 so probably can never walk a mile in your shoes. Thank you for kind offer though.

Lapin, again lovely offer. I'm going shopping on Saturday to look at Dune shoes can I CAT you after?

Aargh Tilly - Dune is playing up on me, but finally saw your faves not others though. they are lovely will check out at weekend.

Brookes - yes, unusual but first pair too expensive and second got that strap round ankle which someone (maybe Wats) told me to avoid. Thank you for looking though!

you look very pretty - wih i had your figure

Cheers Tea!

Cod I like those next ones, do you think I can get away with that lower heel. I am short but it is ALL day so I may be limpiong if I go high.

Brookes - I'll look into it. Thanks

Nom - yeah I know, it was a impulse, last thing I needed for outfit at end of shopping marathon kinda thang.

You haven`t got fat ankles I would try them they may flatter. I wear ankle strap ones and I look sexy ( listen to me lol !)
Right 30.00 pair no strap and white

Shame you don`t live nr me I could lend you my gorgeous large cocktail glass vases. Also have round mirrors I know its a home do but I think its important to set the scene a little.

I know a website you can get cheap 99p ballon lights suitable for flowers bowls or balloons let me know. Did you like the hair clip ? if you real orchid starts to droop you can pop a faux one in.!

www.hibiscusflorals.com/silk_hair_flowers ideas for hair.

Oh thankyou Brookes. I like that lovesme site. Perhaps I'll get some bunting for the garden

I think strappy seems to have the mn vote on shoes though.

Yes a backup flower for hair may be a good plan, good thinking!

Slur, your dress is beautiful - congratulations and I hope you have a lovely day.

bunting sounds a lovely idea Slur very english, hope the weather is kind to you.
I put a pic of the cocktail vase on my profile . Not good pic sorry but you can see the white roses and the little mirror cubes I bought. The red roses were a present.

When's the wedding?

You are farkin gorgeous!!!! I hate you (kidding!)

Slur you look fab what a great figure you have.I too am getting wed in June -when you.
Good luck on your day

lovely dress where is it from??

fucking lovely.

Thank you lovely lovely people

Wedding is midsummer, 21st June. Eeek so little time, so many annoying details to work out.

(Dress is from Monsoon.)

Anyone who is still looking here... Do you think I should get a shrug/borelo?

I don't think the dress needs one and it would be a shame to cover up your gorgeousness (pedants - I realise that is not a proper word ).

I suppose it depends on the weather forecast and how much time you're going to spending outside. If its going to be cold, then you might just want to get something for when you're outside - but I'd definately not bother for the ceremony.

God - what an incredibly dull and practical answer - I sound like my mother

You've gotta hope Midsummer's day will be warmish though

yes get a shrug or something for if it's cold.

gorgeous dress.

Beautiful dress!! wow, you will be a million dollars on your day.

You look fantastic & the dress is stunning, i agree about the shoes though

absolutely stunning dress!!!

how about a pretty shawl/scarf/wrap type thing for if it is a wee bit chilly??

flame had a gold/cream wrap for her wedding and it was really pretty, and different.
