Champagne and crumpets, my November wedding blog *We did it! Photos included*

[EmmyReece]

Definitely not being a bridezilla hun it's your wedding so you should have what you want. Your sister should save for her leavers dress separately and not expect to dictate what you have just because she doesn't want to spend her money on it

On a positive note, I seriously can't wait to see your designs, I bet they look stunning

 

[emyandpotato]

Yeah, that is a bit annoying. I mean, if it was anyone else's wedding she wouldn't act like this (I hope?!), and it's not like she's paying for her BM dress.

 

[aly888]

OH MY GOD!! She's not even paying for it?? I'd be putting her in whatever I wanted if I was the one paying for it. What a cheeky little moo

 

[EmmyReece]

I think you need to have the final say on the dress and if she doesn't like it then tough luck. Easier said than done, I understand, but this is your wedding and your theme that you have worked so hard on, why should she spoil it just because she wants her flesh on show

 

[lozzy21]

Id make her have a modisty pannel for the front that she can remove her prom.

Just tell her straight your not having her look like a slapper if she wants to be a BM.

 

[emyandpotato]

She just throws back "well I don't want to be a bridesmaid" but my mum says we're both being silly now. Fingers crossed tomorrow goes well and there's no more drama!

On another note, I'm really down today. OH got his dream job and we were all set to move to Cheshire and get a house and TTC after the wedding (can't do that now without a stable job) and the job fell through as they said they found someone who can start today so they're given it to him instead. He's just heartbroken, I feel so terrible for him. Doesn't help that I'm stuck at my mums' in Cumbria and can't really help him feel better.

Aaaanyway, took some photos of our drinks arrangements for my next blog post. Samovar collection, various jugs, a mismatch of glasses including silver plated goblets which I thought were cute, etc etc. Been painting my bath tub too so will get a photo later!

Bath tub!

 

[foquita]

wow, your wedding plans are fantastic! i know everyone has said it before but it's so unique! really inspiring

i don't think you're being unreasonable re your sister either, especially if she's not even paying for the dress! really she should be just wearing whatever you tell her to. maybe she's jealous and that's why she's being mean to you?

Thank you lovely

 

[Natasha2605]

im a bit of a secret stalker of your journal but I must say you take the most beautiful pictures. your plans are amazing!

 

[emyandpotato]

Amazing news! Oh my goodness. The amazing wedding planner who I write the blog posts for has just emailed me saying that a) she was at a party last night with the lovely ladies from Wedding Yurts Co, Love my Dress blog et al and they were discussing my posts and apparently they're really popular. AND b) as a wedding gift, she's letting me have anything at all from her range of props and furniture for the day and she's gonna come and style it for me. Such a lovely gesture!

 

[EmmyReece]

that's absolutely fantastic, what a brilliant thing to happen

 

[xemmax]

Amazing! Well done! What kind of things does she have?

 

[Mummy May]

Ooooh that's amazing! And well done on your posts its fab that they're really popular! I'm starting to think maybe I should keep all my beautiful china to possibly hire out to other people, there's nothing like that here and you've put the idea in my head how you getting on with the drama witch and a suitable dress? xx

 

[emyandpotato]

Amazing! Well done! What kind of things does she have?

This is her site www.vintagestylehire.co.uk and her blog www.thestockmandiaries.co.uk. I am thinking of getting chairs and glassware and maybe the huge globe!

You definitely should! I am planning on starting a style and hire business with all my stuff, too, but also styling and planning the day if needed I've seen china hire places do really well! TBH nothing much has happened recently, I haven't been in touch as so much has been going on with OH (he got a job, lost it immediately as they chose someone else instead, having hell with housing etc... not really focused on the dress recently. She was a total bitch to the dress maker though. Sorry, I am very drunk, probably not making sense.

 

[Mummy May]

She was a bitch to the dressmaker?!?! How embarrassing! And rude. Does she have no boundaries?
I'm also having a go at my own button bouquet, they sound really simple to make and if that goes well I might sell some. Its going to be hard for me to go back to work now I have Rory so if can work from home I will! I think you would be brilliant at styling for people, and you do have loads of pretty stuff now xx

 

[EmmyReece]

she was a bitch to the dress maker??? Seriously does the girl not have any manners? Sorry hun, I know she's your sister, but her behaviour is way out of line, it's not fair on you

 

[aly888]

Fantastic news about the blog sweetie. I bet that was a nice little boost for you after all the drama of your sister!
I can't believe she was rude to the dressmaker!!! Does she not have a clue about life? I know she's your sister and all and you probably don't like us saying what we say about her, but she is a total bitch by the sounds of it!!!

 

[emyandpotato]

No she really is. She is so unbelievably rude. My mum is just used to it so ignores it (but if I'm the slightest bit rude I get screamed at ) but she seriously makes me want to punch her sometimes. When she's nice she's very nice though, so it's a tricky situation.

Mummy May that's a really good idea! There's so much money in the wedding industry and it's just starting to become more diverse and I think there's definitely a market there! That's what I'm counting on, anyway.

These are the things I'm thinking of asking to borrow from Kate as my wedding present (she said I can fill a van). What do you think? Anything I should miss?
