February 2022 Brides and Grooms....let's chat!!

That's excellent They are going to look so good with all the silver in your dress It'll be a stunning outfit

LOL 😆 I have way too many shoes as well ! In fact I have a cupboard just for shoes

It's very handy to have

Haha!

I can't believe I missed your beautiful sparkly shoes! Lovely!

We have started to think about what practical, boring things we have left to do - because we postponed so close to our date, we were pretty much done except the mentally taxing stuff you're not really able to do too far before the date (finalizing menus, arranging full payment, organising timelines and who is to be where, and how all the moving parts will eventually fit together).

So, not much fun, pretty things to share! BUT!

I have my next fitting on Thursday of this week, which is super exciting! I get to see the sleeves on my dress for the first time (and decide to take them off or not), the peach tulle under my dress, and just try it on after so long away! I haven't tried it on since the 1st of June, so 5.5 months!

I can't believe you're only 80 days out!! So soon! Ours is about 103.

Is anyone else sending out emails to their vendors asking about whether their offices are closed over the holidays and what dates they'll be out of action? That is what I'm working on today/this week - contacting them all and confirming important dates/payments/whatever are coming up (especially when they fall during what might well be an offices' 'shut down' dates) so we can put a spreadsheet together and make sure we're organised and ask any questions we might have before/after then, and won't panic if we don't hear back from them during that period.

Yes I'll definitely share! Hopefully i'll love it!

STOP IMMEDIATELY ... this is ADORABLE. it is so hard to do a theme like this and have it not look childish, but you have pulled it off and i am impressed. I LOVE the Groot and Iron Man planters

I did get photos at my fitting, so I'm sharing them for you! She showed me the sleeves, the pink tulle under skirts, and pinned the dress for the alterations.

The tulle is a lot paler than I expected, because apparently if she did any darker, it was visible through the skirts. Even though the fabric is super thick, it is quite sheer. So, it's just a touch.

I do also have a pink sash, but she said she thought it was more dramatic without it and so I didn't get a picture of it. I think she's right, but the belt is more.. me? I'm leaving it off for now and can choose closer to the day. I was also super relieved because she said the sleeves can just be taken off with a seam ripper on the day if it turns out to be some insane temperature! So I don't need to decide until much closer to the time! What do we think?

Awww, you are so sweet!

I am ok with the amount of pink, although yes I would have liked a little more! But was always only going to be my little secret anyway.

haha, I wanted the skirts even bigger - she didn't think I wanted a hoop in there. But I was like... um, no, I want ALL the skirts. BIGGER! Make me a cupcake!

I like that most of these details are ones I can choose very much closer to my wedding date and don't need to decide right now so I won't miss out. The weather here has been VERY changeable, we're apparently in for a cold, wet summer, so being able to keep the sleeves until much closer to the time is a great comfort to me.

Also your strapless dress will look lovely exactly how it is, I'm positive
