We are Wed......

So after a year and a half of planning - relatively stress free I may add, we tied the knot. It was a fabulous day and one that I cannot stop playing over and over again in my mind. For your delectation......

So the end of an era so to say. I am very happy to not have to think about flowers, colour schemes and stationary anymore. I feel as if I have my life back and more importantly....my blog. I look forward to concentrating on interior design and crafting.

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.......

Hair Flair.......

After choosing the dress the next thing to consider is what to do with my hair. As I have mentioned, we are getting married in Spain so that we can take advantage of the 35 degree sunshine now while that sounds fabulous, it does mean I have to consider the heat effect on my locks. Mr G loves me with my hair down and I agree that I should not be troussing it into a top knot on the day as it really is not me. So how to make my hair look divine? Well, choose one of these divine accoutrements......

Butler and Wilson have some lovely pieces for the hair and they are quite reasonably priced. Magpie vintage whilst using new and old pieces would mean spending a little more money, I would be comforted to know that it is a one off piece and so perhaps I could justify the extra spend? Sheena Holland has some very different hair jewels and I am really loving the feathered hair clip on the right. Sheena's accessories are quite well priced and again, I have not seen many similar items on the market. Etsy also offers some great ideas such as this delicate headband from Portabello Oh decisions, decisions.......
