Saturday sewing....

Mr G is away in Berlin on a stag weekend so it meant I could finally get the sewing machine out. I popped into town today to get some Cath Kidston material to make my own cushions. I have been admiring the chintzy union jack cushions for quite some time but cannot believe the price of them, so..... I made my own.....I have to say - they are pretty darn good for a novice.

Accessorize the dress

First of all apologies for gap in the blog.....sooooo much has been going on that I just have not had time to post anything. I suppose the most exciting thing that has happened is that we have moved to the countryside! As I sit here typing all i can hear are birds singing and the geese in the field opposite. We have been here for two months and it has been idyllic.

Anyway, back to matters at hand - The Wedding! At the last count we are down to 190 days. I have achieved nothing more since ordering the dress nearly 5 months ago. I am hoping a swatch of the material will be coming through the letterbox this morning so I can start to think about shoes and accessories!

VEILED BEAUTY.......

The biggest idea i have had with regards accessories is having a veil. Now, not just your average veil.....a cathedral length, lace edge, mantilla veil! Check these delightful images out.......
