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

Please could I get some quick advice?

If I have my hair like this but slightly curlier maybe, do I add a hair accessory? Not having a veil nor necklace or earrings but dress is quite detailed with all the lace. Got a large amber and silver ring and two bracelets. If so, what do I add? A headband style thing, a clip, a large thingy at the front of my head? I am at my wits end with this I am so sorry I ask so many dumb questions and I know I'm totally indecisive about my hair. I want someone to decide for me

I found this, what do you think of using it in my hair?https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/154031373/large-victorian-french-paste-crescent

That hair style is lovely, I would defo wear something in it, love the thing you posted from etsy but I would maybe go for something slightly bigger. I don't know. There's so many hard decisions aren't there. Xx

I was thinking bigger but I have no idea what and everything that I love costs a fortune, so that's not an option. I found this but don't know if it's me

I'm not sure any of those are you either but old potentially look quite elegant when put together. I've got an idea in my head but couldn't find anything like it xx

The first one is gorgeous! I wish I didn't live in the middle of nowhere right now, would be much easier to try things on! Oh how I miss Manchester!

 

[Mummy May]

I know what you mean!! Maybe a day trip is in order - much better to see in real life xx

Been stalking for a while but never have time to post.. Everything on your Pinterest makes me swoon! Your wedding is going to be beautiful!

As for the hairstyle, I would probably add something elegant but simple, a slim circlet headband, perhaps.. X

Few updates:

I am officially DONE with buying things for the tables. Thank god! Got all my cutlery, plates, serving trays, glasses etc etc etc.

Rory's outfit is finished, will post a picture later. Chris's outfit is finished too. He's gonna completely with his own personal style and is having a tweed blazer, darker tweed trousers, navy shirt, green tie, mustard yellow socks, and some quirky brown brogues.

As for me, I'm all done I think, the only thing I need is underwear and possibly a hair piece. I've decided not to adjust my dress, I just can't be bothered! Will post a photo of all my jewellery later. Underwear wise I am looking for some Spanx in an XS but I can't find any anywhere! I may just bandage my tummy though and hope for a good effect. Have also ordered one of those body wrap kits that make you lose toxins and water weight before an event. Obviously it's a short term thing but if I use it right before I put my dress on I'll hopefully look a tiny bit thinner!

Feeling much better about the whole thing now that people are definitely coming. Unfortunately it's not everyone by any means- a lot of Chris's friends can't be bothered which is really sad. But there'll be enough people there to make it special and we're both really looking forward to it now.

Not many big jobs left really. Have been designing the boxes and need to print those off and stick them together which is a big task but hopefully will be okay. Also need to finish the tipi which won't take long but need to get round to it! And then finish making the table cloths and buy the food and drink, but that's it I think apart from little bits like making place settings etc.

Very excited/nervous! Can;t believe it's less than a month to go. Starting a boot camp/detox routine tomorrow to shift this last stone so my dress actually looks okay.

Thank you A circlet is what I was thinking, but I can't find one I like and can afford.

 

[Mummy May]

Ooh I'm so glad its all coming together nicely now! Chris's outfit sounds lovely. Can't wait to see everything put together! Xx

 

[emyandpotato]

So I'm trying to do the seating plan... Nightmare! Just how?! Doesn't make it any easier than some people are STILL maybes Anyone a seating plan genius?

 

[Mummy May]

I'm actually annoyed for you!! When are they giving you a definite answer? Xx

 

[emyandpotato]

I have JUST received an RSVP from my aunt and uncle who have known about the wedding since January... and they're not coming... Fine, but they could have bothered to tell me months ago! Still waiting on Chris's useless friends, and from a couple of mine who aren't sure of arrangements. And most RSVPs I have through having chased them up, hardly anyone has bothered to reply off of their own backs So infuriating! I've just counted the non-RSVPs out now. If they reply or show up I'll stick them at the end of some table, and they've well and truly missed out on rooms!

 

[emyandpotato]

My jewellery. Not for everyone but I am happy with it! Ring will be my new wedding ring, but gonna keep my old one (plain silver band) for times when I need something simple, like sports or if my job says so. Bangle is my mum's, gonna be my something borrowed.

Rory's outfit. Jumper is for after the ceremony to play in but I love the colour and it matches his socks. These aren't his trousers- he has tweed ones but they're in the wash. But yeah, overall effect. Blazer is 12-18 months and still too big Please excuse my very grumpy boy!

Awwh he looks fab!!!bless him! I love the bangle too, very nice. Seeing what trouble you're having with RSVP's is making me quite glad to send mine out slightly early. Might not make a difference but fingers crossed xx

 

[Tasha]

Jewellery is gorgeous and Rory is just adorable

 

[emyandpotato]

Thank you both! It didn't help me Lucy, some of the earliest invites were the latest to reply! And I've only had two postal RSVPs out of about 50

 

[Mummy May]

Oh I have no hope then lol! How you feeling about I all? Xx

 

[emyandpotato]

Okay, it's not on my mind too much, I'm just like subconsciously stressed about it all! More bothered about my weight at the moment, it's like an all-consuming fear that I'm going to be fat

 

[Mummy May]

Awwh Hun I know nothing I can say will help, but you really aren't fat. How far off your target are you now? Xx
