Greetings gals n pals.
This is my first post of the year, so again, my humble apologies for the delay. There's just so much going on at the moment.
With just under 2 months until the big day, everything now seems to be happening at once. We've had our taster session with the caterers to sample the food. I say sample, what I mean is that I ate the whole lot! So a massive thumbs up from me!
We've also received all the day and evening RSVPs and out of 102 guests only 2 couldn't make it so we are both extremely chuffed with that.
This weekend was operation bridesmaid dresses. I've always known that I wanted to get the frocks from Vivien of Holloway, so I booked a fitting appointment all the way back in November. Oh my, the day rolled around so quickly. My two sisters and my best friend will be supporting me on the day so it was lovely to all meet up for a girlie afternoon. My mum tagged along for the ride too.
Once everyone had been measured we spent a couple of hours trying on lots of figure hugging wiggle dresses and gorgeous circles dresses. Everything from polka dots, plain and all things floral. There were a few other bridal parties in there and their complimentary"ooh and aahs" reinforced I'd made th right choice. It's the usual story of buying the first thing that is tried on but it was all good fun! It was made even better by receiving a hefty discount. Thanks ladies!
To celebrate we got the bus to Muswell Hill and had a hefty Italian meal. Pasta galore, so those dresses probably don't fit anymore!
I'm also having a bespoke dress made for Viva La Vegas. Afterall it is my honeymoon so it will be nice to rock a one off piece. I designed it myself and the mockup has been made. It will feel fabulous to slip into something that has been made to my specific measurements. Here's a sneak peak of the
mock up. The real deal will be revealed in Vegas.
This weekend is the biggie though as it's my first dress fitting at furcoatnoknickers.co.uk I chose my dress back in July and I've forgotten some of the finer details, so it will feel good to see it again and even more special to try it on. Their premises have relocated to the London Bridge area so it's a far easier commute for an East Sussex girl. Andy is going to wait in a pub then we will indulge in pie n mash afterwards at Manzie's on the Tower Bridge Road. When are bellies are full we will head off to thegreatfroglondon.com to look for wedding rings. It's all go, go, go!!
I'll report back soon(ish) with more news.
