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

Aww emy, I feel so bad for you. Obviously I don't have a dress yet but I totally understand how awful you would feel on your wedding day if you're not feeling your absolute best. If you are really unhappy with the dress then I agree it's best it sell it and start over with a new design, obviously it is still a risk but if you make loads of alterations to the CP dress and still hate it that's just as bad, plus it may affect the resale value.

I honestly and truthfully think you have just become too 'used' to it though and that shopping for your bridesmaids has taken the shine off your own dress. I think it's a stunning dress and won't be upstaged by anyone else. I know it doesn't fit at the moment but maybe it's worth going to a shop and trying it on just to see how you feel in it before you make any decisions.
 
I love your invites by the way! Did you design and print them yourself? Did Kate get back to you?

Thank you lovely, I so hope you're right and I love it again on the day. Hopefully I'll have lost the weight by mid summer so I can then make the decision to either adjust it, sell it, or keep it and have enough time to find something else if need be! Doesn't help that it's a size 6 dress so it's gonna take a while :dohh:

Thank you! I am keeping the outer box, thinking of redesigning the paper bits, they didn't print as well as I hoped. Yeah she got back to me and posted, so not the horrors I was anticipating! I just get really worked up over things sometimes, I'm silly like that.
 
I made a style board of Rory's wedding outfit! For the blog but posting here as I'm so chuffed that I actually learnt to use photoshop :haha: He'll also have a tambourine covered in flowers, a paisley silk scarf draped over his waistcoat but under his blazer, a button hole (and maybe handkerchief in pocket), and hopefully by then his afro will be in full swing. My mum says I dress him like an eccentric professor. I guess I do, but it suits his personality! Oh and this is his tie, which I didn't add as I couldn't get a good photo: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/110953424 his is the olive green one.

Okay in a very strange twist Hannah found a dress that she wants for her leavers do and it's actually nice (looks a billion times better on). It's https://www.asos.com/Jarlo/Jarlo-Ma...8857&sh=0&pge=2&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Cream in orange or cream, haven't decided.

I think with elegant headwear it'd look really nice.
 
Aww, Rory is going to look so lovely! And I love that dress, thank goodness you've found something you both agree on! Are you going to buy it? I guess it will be a lot easier than having one made. You both must feel less stressed now!
 
Glad you've found something you agree on yeyy! I would probably put it with a head garland thingy if it were for my wedding, xx
 
Lovely dress, glad you've found something you both like!

She bought it herself actually, which saves an argument! Actually I think my mum bought it but oh well! She wants it as a leavers do dress so the fact it works as a bridesmaid dress is a bonus! I am just hoping it suits, she's so curvy and the model is so stick-like! It will hopefully arrive tomorrow so I'll get some photos asap! She did buy it in ivory though, without consulting me... bloody goos job it's nice :haha:

Yeah that would look lovely! I think something sparkly so it looks more evening dress and less beach dress, especially for November!
 
Yeah that would be nice! Hopefully she won't kick up a fuss about that aswell :) xx
 
It's lovely. And fantastic that she's bought it herself (or your mum has!). Have you spoken to her about a headpiece? It would look stunning with it
 
She's happy with a headpiece. It arrived today and honestly it looks gorgeous. Only issue is my dad walked upstairs and saw her in it and said "Hi Hannah, getting married?" :dohh: Doesn't help that it's more white than my dress either!
 
I've been really stressing about my table layouts, thinking they'd be boring/weird/too crowded etc but I set them out today for my latest blog post and they actually look pretty good, photos don't do them justice! Only thing I need to finalise is the flowers, and I don't want many of them. I used metal plates here and like the effect so gonna mismatch them with patterned ceramic ones. Please excuse the painting, it was just cos the white wall looked weird.

Oh wow, that is so beautiful.
 
Oh wow, looks amazing!!! Your guests are gonna be completely stunned when they see all that
 
Good stunned, I mean. Not bad stunned. Lol. Just thought I'd clarify :lol:
