won't be long and you won't have anything left to do 
It feels good to be organized, doesn't it?

It really does Tiff. The rate we are going we should have everything paid for just after Christmas! 
I get my annual bonus from work in Feb and its looking pretty healthy this year so that should cover anything we have left by then!! I am such a financial worry wart so it will really help my stress levels if I am not worrying about still paying for things in the weeks leading up to the wedding!
The shoes search is not going well, I have found a few pairs that I love don't get me wrong, they are just far too high! Here are a few pretty ones I have come across so far....
I really like the third pair beacuse they have a vintage type feel to them and my dress has the same kind of lace type style on the bodice so they would go really nice together.
What do we think?

Also, I am still not sure about the whole veil/no veil situation! I thought I didn't want one but I tried one on that was just elbow length with a beautiful lace trim and I really liked it. The problem is, its £120 and I am pretty certain that after like an hour of it flapping round my arms I will probably take it off!
BUT, I have come across this gorgeous vintage headband that I am thinking may be enough on its own, without a veil and the right kind of hair style!
The website is https://www.jobarnesvintage.com/Vintage-Inspired-Headbands.html and the one I love is Cassie.

the shoes and headband are stunning 
here's some more shoe links, the only thing is they aren't anywhere near as stunning as the ones in the 3rd pic
DYEABLE: Ivory handcrafted round toe wedding shoes available in either 3 inch or 4 inch stiletto heels.
Ivory hand beaded embroidered tulle vintage shoes with Heels 6.25 cm = 2.46 inch approx.
Rainbow Couture: Ivory silk satin shoes with hand embroidered flowers, pearls & crystals. Heels 6.25 cm = 2.5 inch.

If you have a style of veil you like and have already tried on, there are plenty of Ebay shops that sell veils identical to the ones in the salons for a fraction of the price! Cathedral length veils run up to nearly $200-$300 in the salons, I bought mine off Etsy for $60. 
Love the hair piece too! You can do both you know, if the price is right. I wanted a head piece as I knew I wouldn't be keeping my veil on all night with the length and still wanted some bling.

I like the third link to the shoes you posted Emmy, they are v pretty!
Thanks Tiff, I have had a little look online to see if I can find it cheaper, the trouble is I am such a fuss pot and I like to see things first, like physically touch them (not in a creepy way). I do love the headband though, my problem will be convncing Liam that £400 for a headband and shoes is a good thing lol!

Yep I think I need to dedicate a morning or an afternoon to searching for all the things I want at half the cost lol! I must try and check eBay more often too because I am so impatient, if I look for something once and I can't find it I never bother to look again which is silly really since people add things all the time.
The first pic are Benjamins Adams shoes and they are called Charlize - they are about £200 I think! Hefty price but the way I see it is that they are definitely shoes that I would wear after the wedding like on a night out etc so they would be more of an investment. (Thats my story and I am sticking to it)

yes but when he sets eyes on you it will all be worth it
True. But I have already used that line when I went over budget on the dress

is there anyway you could save for the veil and tiara separately?

I probably could if it weren't for Liams birthday next month, Christmas and then Max's 1st birthday in January. It will make it difficult to put anything away really. Suppose I could use my bonus in Feb but I don't want to wait that long lol!!
I will speak to OH tonight and discuss some kind of 'arrangement'

Thanks Emmy, I am going to enter that - maybe I will have some bridey luck lol!
Yeah I probably can save for them to be honest. I think deep down I just feel guilty at how much money we have spent/are spending and a lot of it will be going on my dress, the BM dresses, hair and make-up etc so adding on another £400 for shoes and headband seems a lot iykwim?
