My Caribbean Wedding... and bringing the theme back to North Yorkshire!

I think your wedding dress will be ok because it's properly tailored, I'm talking about lyrca tops and the like for the summer! I had a topless dress from Monsoon which I wore for a wedding, and it had all boning in it which I found sat on my hips and sort of held the dress up from the bottom, the one time big hips have come in handy!

Hahahaha - Freudian slip there - I had a *STRAPLESS* dress!

lol. I didnt even notice!

Tete_en_l'Air

Ha, and we're supposed to be dressmakers!

LOL! One of the woman at work a little while ago wanted to get some legless tights, I *think* she meant footless... or she could have been on about just plain old pants!

Ooh gorgeous shoes Birdie! The colour is beautiful, very Caribbean sea like!

Tete_en_l'Air

Gorgeous! And I'm sure you'll have no probs finding dresses to match

Hey Birdie, good luck with all your preparations for the Weddingmoon and party back home, will be popping back to see piccies (taking a wee break), infact might even be lurking around here more for some ideas!! x

Thanks Swinstie, hope the wee break isn't too long!

I'm feeling quite fed up with OH as he's had 2 jobs to do so far, 1) Post the invites when I went away, which he didn't bother doing (and I'm still waiting for him to text one friend to ask his address, I even offered to do it if he would give me his number but he said he'd do it, but still hasn't...) and 2) book the venue for the party... which still hasn't been done! Grrrr, I'm feeling very stuck at the minute as there's nothing happening!

I'm trying on my dress again (well the shop sample as mine hasn't arrived yet but YKWIM) on Saturday and my friend and I are going to have a look at BM dresses, I'm taking my shoes along for a colour match and I'll be clinging onto the bag for dear life!

The same friend has also mentioned some kind of magical shop called Country Baskets where you buy wholesale flowers, fabric, ribbon etc and we know someone with a trade card so we can go which we will be doing some point soon! I'm loving the idea of having brightly coloured tulle lining the walls, or at least covering some of the uglier sections in the venue and apparently it's super cheap there so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
