    I wanted an old season dress. It was a nightmare as i had set my heart on it (the one I tried on was wrong colour and far to small) I eventually found one miles and miles away in right size and colour and im quite sure it was the only one left in the country (phoned every store that sold it....my poor phone bill) I had to get a friend who lived not to far away to go and get it and send it to me. you could get one made in china if price is the issue but if you really really want this dress (and not a chinese copy) then dont wait to long, do your research and make the decision asap.
    I found not one single bridal shop would let me take a photo before I bought the dress (even when mum was home ill and could not come) and some would not even tell me the name of dresses :mad:

    I ordered my shoes today (one more tick off the list :D) Ive gone for a kitten heel as big heels kill my feet and a grimicing bride is not attractive :rotfl:

    I thought I had mentioned my mum went in and put a deposit on it for me. The assistant said she 'thought' it was Benjamin Roberts but they'll confirm for me. But I have searched and searched and searched some more and I can't find it any of his current collections, or related collections like Blue and Enzoani (sp?) etc!!

    I will post a pic as soon as I get up there to get it! First job done!
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

  • Glad you decided to go for it joho!

    Ok 3 days to go and panic has well and truly set in! I have a bridesmaid without a dress so need to sort that out today! Can't fit my spray tan in so am going to get some of that tanning moisturiser and hope that it evens my skin tone out a little as I will silly enough to get sunburnt 4 weeks ago and my chest still has a line where the red stopped and started lol!!
    Got soooo much to do today but bestman and his girlfriend (who is helping me plan the wedding) arrive tonight until the wedding so thankfully she will be on hand to help! xx
    :love:Married the man of my dreams on 12/06/10:love:

    I have these shoes for the evening! But i only got them for £23 only £5 off! :mad:
    But i have some higher shoes for the actually ceremony! But won't be able to dance all night in them - hence why i brought a second pair!

    Provisionally booked my hairdresser for the day!

    Got a couple of RSVPs back :j

    Will let you know the outcome of the cheese tasting!

    I know i am having a heart shaped cheese from thecheeseshed.com - the wonwell beach one - to place on top as it is a close match to my colour scheme and it is different!

    I got my dress too, I can't post pics though as I don't have my phone lead, it's a past season but couldn't tell you who the designer is, very beady with a train that has beading and lace to it, it's very pretty. A friends mum used to have a dress shop and she has loads of dresses that she is trying to get rid of so I got it for the price it would have been hired at.
    It was so difficult as I was in a cellar trying them on and I wanted a really whiite one but I think it will make me look washed out.
    I felt a bit snobish getting a designer I've not heard of and an older dress but it's so different to all the other dresses I've seen and will be pretty unique!
    Got to get some underwear now
