very nice johannalf88 - have you used real leaves??

update on my progress - got to take my BM dresses back fitted one BM perfectly, however due to my other BM being 6ft tall(!) it was far too short on her (floor length dress) and just looked silly....oh well, gonna leave them on the back burner until the new year now and take them both shopping then. I really had my heart set on off-the-peg high street dresses for them to try and save a bit of money but may have to resort to actually buying them from a bridal shop instead.

on the upside though - we are going to give notice on Saturday morning

Yeah, I had to press them first though, I tried without and they were to thick to stick to the glass.

That's a shame about your Bridesmaids dresses Nic Noc Noo. At least you have shopping to look forward to though!

One of my bridesmaids is nearly 6ft and I got her a floor length dress from Coast and she can still get away with kitten heels - which is the highest I would let her have anyway as I'm only 5ft :rotfl: So maybe try them, I got it at one of their Outlet Stores so was less than half the price. Although with it being a Outlet they don't always have the same dress in different sizes, but their sales are very good

FAB-A-ROONEE! will take a look where my nearest Coast (and outlet) is. Was going to try Monsoon too as they can be pretty long dresses. My BM is wearing flats as I'm only 5' 4"

:j:j:j:jI bought my dress:j:j:j:j

|Found the one i wanted, emailed round all the north west stockists and one of them came back saying they had an ex sample at 50% off RRP so i goes down and its actually a brand new one in a couple of sizes smaller than i am now not massively and definitly achievable and they offered it me for £500 instead of £900. So i snapped them up. ive taken it away and its now stored at my bridesmaids house.

Everyone is getting on so well! We just paid the deposit for the photographer and for honeymoons we've pretty much decided on Marrakech, since it will be warm in October, but not too hot. Nic, could you add me please? We're on the 6th October too (autumn theme as well!)!

Also, Jo, that jar looks amazing!!

johannalf88

Thanks. very pleased as they cost about 5p each. Just the tea lights! Jars n leaves are free! Yay! Oh honeymoons exciting!!! We can't book ours until March at the very earliest! I am panicking about it as I need everything booked and sorted now... I may be a little bit control freak.
