Our registrar fees cost £495 including giving notice!

I went dress shopping today.
I tried on lots of different hugely expensive dresses! it actually just reinforced that I love my one best. I did try on a couple of bigger princess a-line style dresses, which did look fab(even if I say so myself!) they were just to big to be practical, and just didn't really look like me. They did look fab, but I felt like I was dressing up. They also gave me a tiara (despite me saying I am no way wearing one!)

I had lots of fun anyway, it's not everyday you get to try on ridiculously expensive dresses!

I have had a search not found it yet but I will keep looking.

Jo your dress is stunning!!!

I decided as this my 2nd wedding to go against traditional and I brought a short dress. I thought this would make shoe shopping fun as I wanted them to stand out but so far it's a nightmare can't find anything I like :mad: Plus I did a really stupid thing tonight and tried my dress on again even though I'm having a really fat day fool. I only wanted to see what it would look like with coloured shoes as I'm tempted to try and find shoes which match my BM even though that seems impossible as I can't even find ribbon which matches her dress :rotfl:

BM dress is very dark pink, tried Hobby Craft for ribbon none of them are even close.

This is probably the only thing that I've seen which is even close to the colour of the dress

And I like these http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_053010516207_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EWomen%7EShoes+%26amp%3B+boots but I'm not sure if they are light/bright pink compared to BM dress

I am hoping to get coloured shoes too Magpie. Have you thought about buying nice White bridal shoes and having them dye them the same colour? I only ask because bridal shoes are apparently made really comfy, so brides can wear them all day. I am hoping to get them dyed the same colour as the sash.

What is the dress and we can keep a look out and let you know if we find anything.
