Hello my lovelies!
So sorry I've been neglecting the blog recently, I haven't really been dressing up! Term ended on Monday so I've handed in my last essays as an undergraduate (fingers crossed I get accepted onto the Masters programme I've applied for!) and I've just started revising for my exams in May. However, Jon and I have been discussing our wedding as I'm staying at his (he is still adamant he wants a castle, I shan't disagree!) and I stumbled across Rock My Wedding, which is the BEST wedding blog ever!
I've now spent the whole day avoiding my 19th century reading and planning my wedding in my head. I pretty much know what kind of dress I want, what the bridesmaids ought to wear, what cake to have and so on, so I thought I'd share some of my thoughts with you, because let's face it, who doesn't like planning a massive party with gorgeous dresses?!

I love these dress styles, I've worn an evening gown with a portrait collar before for a photoshoot and I was overcome by how flattering it was, so I know I want that and a fitted bodice! I'm not a massive fan of the huge trailing trains, I'd like something a bit simpler and more understated, just something that will flow nicely and flatter my figure.

I'd never really thought about a traditional veil before but after seeing these I've decided I might have one as part of a fascinator! I particularly like the top right picture, her hair looks gorgeous as well! I was thinking I might have loose curls swept over to one side, so it's a little more interesting than a simple 'down' do, and will suit me better than having an up-do!

I love this idea for the table plan! How cute are the suitcase and the little pegs? Despite the whole castle thing, I'd quite like a vintage feel to our wedding (I know everyone's going for vintage right now, but it's so nice!) and I just want a nice relaxed atmosphere as well.
Anyway I have babbled enough for now, I should probably get back to my books but I just wanted to get my wedding ramblings out my system! It's a long way off still, we haven't chosen a date yet but I like planning it so everything should be simple enough to put in place once we do set a date! Have you given any thought to your wedding yet? I never did, not until I met Jon, so I don't really know what I'm doing! I'd appreciate any thoughts you may have :)
xoxo

Ooooh when are you getting married? My dates is August next year and i really want to start buying/planning things but don't know if it's too soon yet. Although I did rush out straight away and put a deposit down on a venue : /

Everything's so pretty! I love that style of wedding dress too, they're so elegant. (and I didn't know that it was called a 'portrait collar' - you learn something new every day!)
ReplyDeleteThe suitcase table plan is adorable - what a brilliant idea!
One of my best friends got married in 2009 and I was a bridesmaid; it was such a wonderful day, I didn't want it to end and it wasn't even my wedding lol! I can't imagine how excited you must be!!! xxxx
