Afternoon . . . most weddingy thing done today is purchase some purple buttons from ebay ready to start the BM button bouquet. Having chosen the BM dress, she is going for the long one (i sooo knew she would!) i now have the colour theme to follow along with my buttons. The venue is currently painted in purple and lilac and as it has only recently been decorated they have assured me it won't be altered before our wedding - so decided on lilac and pink flowers and napkins etc for the tables.

That's what I did - I let my sister pick a dress that she liked for her BM dress (I would have been able to veto if it was horrible lol) then used that for the colour! Great that your venue will match!

I haven't really thought about corsages or buttonholes, I'm sure OH will want one though (he wants everything lol) so I'll prob have to look into getting one for him. Only thing is, if he has one, his brother (the best man) will have to have one, and he's bound to want his dad to have one which means my dad will have to have one, which means I have to pay for 4 buttonholes instead of just one!

I think flower wise I'm going to go for white, it's easier then and goes with everything!

We've had a hectic weekend starting to get some of our stuff into storage, the big move is only 2 weeks away and already my mum is starting to get on my nerves - she has asked me three times this week what my plans are for savings and stuff, I know by moving in with them to try and save up I am kind of opening myself up to that and she does have a right to know what the plans are, but it kind of feels like she doesn't trust me to do it because she keeps asking. Sorry for complaining! :rotfl:

Nothing else weddingy done - I am currently on the lookout for a low back bra/basque type thing, and hair accessories. I know I'm going to have my hair half up half down, but not sure whether to accessorise with a hairband over the front kind of like THIS or with a clip at the back like THIS. I do want a bit of height to it at the back.

I should also probably try out a few make up looks - obviously eyeliner is a given but I need to decide on the overall look. I need a bit of smoke because I wear quite dark eyes everyday, but I will need to tone it down a bit so it doesn't overpower the ivory dress. Will have to get practicing and taking some photos for you all to judge lol!

Mel- I really like both hair dos that you linked. If I was having mine down I think it would be very similar to the 2nd one.

Ive been looking at hair pictures today to try and get an idea of what I want, and im still clueless!!:rotfl: I think i will go for some the kind of bun but not sure if it will be a normal bun or a side so bun, but I also want to make sure the have some height at the front so i look different to how I usually do from the front as I normally wear my hair up.

Mel, complain away- we dont mind on here!

Absolutely agree with Emma - complain away Mel

(Sorry for the short post - lol you'll understand why on FB lol)

Complain away! Were all in together etc etc . . .

Love both pieces Emma, so I'm no use!! I always wear my hair down and hairdresser thinks I should keep it down as its 'me' but I will have a lot going on around my shoulders with a lace bolero so I think I'll need my hair up and off my neck for full effect. Thoughts???
Perhaps I should photo it so you see what I mean. (any excuse to try my dress on again!!).

Melanie- i definately think you should try your dress on and take a pic with your hair up and then with your hair down. My intial gut reaction is that some kind of bun would look fab with the tea length dress and bolero (in my head it kind of goes with the style) BUT things look different on different people so you may find on you the outfit looks better with your hair down, I think its a case of experimenting- and we will all help give our opinions- but the most important thing is that you feel like you and comfortable.

Im thinking hair up would be better for me as curls tend to drop in a natural wave as my hair is so thick and if its straight I worry if it rains, is windy or humid my hair will frizz and be a mess so am thinking at least if its up it will look fab and in place all day!!:D I really like it when people have it curled and swept to the side but not sure if that is very me, plus 2 or the last 3 weddings I have been to the brides have had their hair like this.

I found these yesterday at... yup u guessed it... a carboot... and of course they where a bargain price of £1 (for them both) i think ill have them on the top table for OH and I im thinking of getting some glass paint and putting our bride and groom and our wedding date on them... what u think? any other ideas? x

PS: They are just clear at the top but the flash has made them look like they have a tornado in lol x

PinkPrincess83

LauraR- fab glasses and such a bargain. I think I may try and get me and oh a special glass each to use on the day- his may have to be a pint glass though as he wont drink much wine (if he does he will be going home drunk about 7!!:rotfl:)

MrsDrink

They are fab glasses Laura!! well done you bargain hunter!!

Hope everyone is doing well.
I'm pooped can't believe it's only Monday!!

laurarobby
