    We had it at our wedding a few weeks ago :D

    I had thought no beforehand. I thought I'd be picking it off me for hours afterwards. But honestly, on the day you just won't care about things like that (and normally I'm completely OCD about things like that!). Unless people stand above you and tip it straight on top of your head, you really won't get much on you anyway, especially if there's a bit of a breeze. :)

    That's what a wedding dress and hours of professional hair and make up will do for you; I'll never look that good again. :cry:

    Here's the album if you want a look :)

    We're laughing in the confetti shot because we were getting stick. The photographer had taken us off to a private garden area for some photos and then she told us to wait a minute before coming back (we guessed she'd be setting people up with the confetti for pics). We said we'd be a few minutes as we wanted a moment alone - we hadn't been alone together since the ceremony at that point. When we went back over, plenty of shouts of "we know what you've been up to" :rotfl:

    Sarah they are beautiful can I be really nosey and ask where your necklace is from? My daughter marries soon and her dress is similar to yours the style of necklace goes great with your dress and I think she would like a similar idea for her wedding, if you don't mind my asking.
