MY DRESS!!!!!

I've ordered THE dress!!! I can't believe it happened that quickly! Charlotte was in Swindon for a few days and we decided to go wedding dress shopping for a bit of fun. We went into this adorable and posh looking wedding shop near Victoria Park...it was pretty much just rows of beautiful white; I didn't have a clue where to start! I told the lady in there about the wedding colour scheme etc and she brought a couple of dresses for me to try on. The first was really plain, the second was literally like a spanish flamenco dancers dress (it would have been awesome if it had not made me look ridiculous lol) and the third was oh-my-goodness-I-have-never-seen-anything-so-beautiful. Now I get what girls mean when they say "I just knew it was the dress" - It was so perfect!! I wish I could go into more detail, it would kinda spoil the surprise for Stephen if I did :] Scary thing is, due to it being made, I don't get it until April/May 2009! I want it now!!...but then, if I did have it now I know I'd be trying it on all the time and probably end up tripping up in it and making a mess of it. Talking of tripping up, I should probably be looking out for some shoes to wear with the dress. I really want to wear blue shoes. Here is my dream pair:

Emilio Pucci's. Only 4.5 inch heels ;)

Our style

Stephen and I definitely do not do things the traditional way. This wedding is going to shout that statement pretty loud. We were shopping with Ben, Steve's best man, the other day and found the perfect groom and best man suits. Here's an idea of what they looked like: 

Completely the style of the wedding.

We're going to purchase them in the new year when I move to Brighton (still seems ages away, but we're getting there!). I would love Stephen to wear one of those cool trilby or fedora hats but he's not really buying the idea. Shame ;) The skinny turquoise tie is brilliant. I'm just not sure whether to have a turquoise handkerchief or pink flower for the buttonhole? A pink hanky perhaps...? 

The dress verdict

So the bridesmaid dresses came...2 yes, 1 no and 1 maybe. They suit Zoe and Ki down to the ground. They definitely do not suit Char! And I think Vicki would love to wear blue :) So, lets find a couple of blue dresses in a different style for Char and Vicks. Here's a couple of really nice ones I have found
