[EmmyReece]

Just googled it and a lady got half price MAC foundation from there So looks like it is defo worth a trip

Think I'm dragging Chris up there asap

 

[mumandco]

Love the work of the photographer hun,did she say what areas of Wales she covered? Your venue looks amazing!!

 

[EmmyReece]

She said she covers all of wales ... and she doesn't charge for travel as far as I know

Here's her website

Lowri Pendrell Website

Loved the pictures, especially of the one where the guests were all dressed up in costumes! What a neat idea!

 

[EmmyReece]

Ok, I'm going to sound like a complete and utter idiot now, but I've only just figured out my skin type

And from what I can tell I have dry skin, so I'm going to grab a cleanser and moisturiser tomorrow that's more suited to my skin type. And it means that the make up tutorial for dry skin will suit my skin type, which I'm really chuffed about as that's the look I wanted to go for

Done my makeup list and I'm probably going to end up spending about £200 on it all I know it's a lot to spend, but the eyeshadows and brushes will last for ages, and I'll make sure I get the use out of the foundation and other stuff that won't last as long. It makes more sense to me to spend the money on make up that I'll be able to use rather than pay for a make up artist to come out

 

[Scamp]

Lol, it's exciting

Love the gangster costumes

After a lot of mulling it over with Vici last night on facebook (really not sure how she puts up with me sometimes), I'm 90% sure that we're going to do a gangster theme for the hen night

It also means that costumes should be fairly cheap - black trousers / black skirt or pinstripe if preferred, white shirt

Then I'm thinking of getting some accessories to make it more girly

Gangster Hat

Then some pink ribbon to go round the hats, not sure whether to go for ...

Plain

And then some pink braces - just not sure on the shade yet

Oh and I forgot to add I'm having an extra bridesmaid - Vici (Scamp).

She has been a complete and utter superstar with all this weddingy stuff, more so than my bridesmaid who lives here in Wales, and she's been there for me through tough times, and what I'd class as a proper friend. I was over the moon when she said yes

 

[Scamp]

Thank you x

 

[Scamp]

Got any more updates with wedding hun? Any more plans?

 

[EmmyReece]

Nothing more at the moment ... I think so far we have

• Chosen the venue and paid the deposit
• Got ourselves pencilled in with the registrar
• Chosen the hen night theme
• Got the photographer booked and just waiting to have the money for her deposit
• Ordered the save the date magnets and rsvp cards
• Got some of the bridesmaids accessories

I really don't feel like I've done much at all

 

[honeybee2]

well thats probs a good thing as you have a fair amount of time left and you dont want to get bored hun and have nothing to do! whats your hen night theme?

 

[Scamp]

You've done loads so far, there's plenty of time! x

 

[EmmyReece]

we're going to do a gangster theme, white shirts, black trousers / skirt, pink braces, black hat

 

[EmmyReece]

Ok, I've been having a think about my entrance song, and I'd love to have something kinda magical

And this song came to mind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX4tOsQnZTQ

And this is the Glee version

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SoB8d5Dnto

At the moment I'm leaning more towards the original one as it just gives me goosebumps

 

[Traskey]

Wow Em, you'll have the whole wedding organised before you know it! I can't believe you think you haven't done much. You've done the most important bits, venue, registrar and photographer. The other bits are a bonus

 

[EmmyReece]

Thanks hun

I have so many ideas and I'd love to do them all, but I really don't want to go over the top if that makes sense? So, making decisions now, is stopping me from going too ott

I was thinking the Willy Wonka song too as it would kinda tie in with the sweety favours

 

[Traskey]

I think you should have whatever you want and what you can afford. You may change your mind in the future but you'd done the important bits.

You have to feel comfortable with your photographer and you obviously are so i'm sure everything will be as you want it. I can't remember the name of the make up I had, very similar to Mac but not. Cost me a fortune but lasted all day. Had to go to Brent Cross to find their counter. If I don't think about it i'll remember

 

[Traskey]

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaa

Bobbi Brown

Really good makeup. That's the one! Thanks brain

 

[EmmyReece]

I was thinking Bobbi Brown then too

Going to have a nosey round the counters in Selfridges when we're in London at the beginning of December, really can't wait I'll probably go with whatever counter makes me feel more comfortable Soooooo excited to be going back, I've told Chris he's to leave me in the beauty department for a bit and he can go nosey round the other sections

Just edited a chunk out of Bruno Mars - Marry You (the bit about "if you wake up and you wanna break up") - didn't think it was too suitable for a wedding
