    No speeches at all for us.

    Flowers arrived - Got them from Flowers 4 Florists.com , they are amazing - Mum is busy doing buttonholes as I type :D

    Chair covers arrived at the venue this morning - Ebay 100 for £145 - Again amazing.

    Still haven't made my table plan :(

    Got 150 cupcakes to make later also :p

    Bought ribbon, cufflinks and card for table plan today. Picked up my dress from seamstress, hopefully it's the right length now!! Spending this evening folding order of services, tying ribbon around the menus and helping my mum do the cake!! I can't believe all this madness will be overin a couple of days!!! Really hope the rain holds off too, chucked it down earlier, that's all i need :-(

    Ok, so spill - where was the underwear mission undertaken, and which dressmakers?

    Am keeping my fingers crossed for a lovely day so you can have your photos donw in the park opposite the N.E.

    Have a fab day & enjoy it!!

    Love, Floss xx

    Underwear mission was undertaken (after much legwork) at good old M&S :D Perfect Multiway bra that is small enough & padded was required. :)

    And of course matching knickers and hold ups too - the dress won't accomodate suspenders really.

    TJ Hooleys in Cleveleys was the dressmaker, they are soooo lovely - mind you it's worth a visit just to look at their hats - they are milliners too :D Floss, if any of your ladies want a hat, there are some lovely, unusual designs in there. I didn't ask prices though... Although I may go back for a fascinator for the May Ball..

    Well facial done, eyebrow waxing and manicure & pedicure done nby my lovely make up lady today (Serenity Joy for your info Floss! Check her out - very reasonably priced.)

    wanttogetwed - I'm a fainter too, as are both of my daughters, could be a busy night on you've been framed:rotfl:

    Best tip I have ever had for this is, if you have to stand for a while, have one foot slightly behind the other. Apparently the Queen does this.
