Bridesmaid Dresses

I Have Found The One!

I just hope my bridesmaids like it as much as I do!

This dress is an Alfred Angelo. I was thinking of choosing 7016 but when the lady in the shop showed us this one (despite it being a touch more expensive) I just fell in love with it!

I hope my bridesmaids do too!

The sample dress is in blue but I’ll be going with it in purple. Each dress company has their own idea of purple, so check with a swatch that your purple is the right one.

I love this little detail of diamantes and flowers. I think it adds something special to the dress, plus there is a lot of sparkle on my dress so it almost matches.

The dress is very soft and flowing, and gives the impression of floating, somewhat.

This dress also has a junior version so that my little niece who is going to be a bridesmaid will be able to have a matching dress.

The only thing is, I want my bridesmaids to feel comfortable in what they’re wearing, so if the consensus is that they don’t like this dress, the hunt will continue.

I tried to choose the dress as something I’d like to wear if I get to be a bridesmaid again.

I do like this fantastic blue colour but I think I’ll stick with the colours of the wedding.

Any opinions welcome!

English Wedding

Be Silly-Excited!

I’m glad someone agrees with me! I’m just posting a link to a blog post I really liked!

English Wedding – Cherish the Moment

Wedding Website

I Have Finally Finished!

I’ve finally finished my wedding website!

I finally decided to go with Project Wedding.com. I don’t like the design as much as I like the ones on Wedding Path.co.uk but I wanted a site that was easy to update and navigate, and that’s what I got with Project Wedding.com.

One of the main things I liked about Project Wedding.com was the map page.

A lot of people have been asking me about places to stay, where the venue is, where the church is and this website will help me to show my guests exactly where everything is.

You can add anything into this map, hotels, venues, places to visit. That’s a really good feature on a wedding website.

When editing the site, it’s done live, so that you are editing into the template.

For example, you could add photos, HTML, links, edit the text and paste from Word. It’s really straight forward. Pictures can be inserted directly from your computer, which is a lot easier. I’ve inserted pictures of the venue and the church so that guests will know what to look out for.

I like that there’s a transportation section so that guests know what’s going on and how to get around your area.

I’ve included an itinerary on my site, by adding a custom page. The custom pages are fully customisable and will allow you to add any information and even a picture!

It’s fully customisable. It seems you can add as many pages as you need. There doesn’t appear to be a pay function of the website so it will be free for as long as you need it!

I’m quite pleased with the website and a friend was already looking on it for information so hopefully it will do it’s job in giving information to our guests!

Photographer of the Year!

Our Photographer is Shortlisted!

Our photographer, Clive Blair, has just been shortlisted for West Midlands Your Magazine, Photographer of the Year!

And much does he deserve it!

On English Wedding, they were saying that talking to your photographer should give you that excited shiver that you used to get when you were seven. I had that when we were talking to Clive.

I could almost see our wedding in his amazing wedding photos. I think that after the wedding has finished, everyone’s gone home, you’ve come back from your honeymoon, what’s left from the wedding (other than a happy marriage) are the photos. Beautiful photos are so important to me. That’s why we had to choose the best photographer.

And now he’s being short listed for photographer of the year!

I just think that’s amazing for Clive! I’m really pleased for him! Yay!

(And I voted!)

Wedding Website

Wedding Path.co.uk

I have decided against Wedding Path.co.uk. I have been trying to enter my data onto the website so that I can include the website on the invitations but I’m struggling to add data onto the site.

I’m a website person, this is what I studied at university and I can usually fidget websites to make them do what I want. However, I’m trying to enter data into this site and it’s not letting me.

I don’t want to add an image of the best man onto this page, but it won’t let me turn the page to look at the bridesmaid without a picture on the bridesmaid page.

It’s a bit frustrating, I don’t have time to keep fidgeting with the website to make it the way I want to.

I’m going to try Project Wedding.com.

Excited!

Super Excited!

I was thinking about all the reasons I’m looking forward to our wedding.

The main thing I’m looking forward to marrying my fantastic h2b, taking his name and becoming his wife! I’m excited to start a new life with him and hopefully, fingers crossed, start a family.

The next thing I’m looking forward to is the wedding, a big party with all my friends and family. I get to wear a pretty dress, everyone will be dressed up in their posh clothes, we’re going to a nice venue and get to have loads of photos taken!

And then, the honeymoon! We’re going to an amazing place and we’re going as husband and wife!

Weddings might be expensive, stressfl and difficult to organise, but they mean so much!
