Wedding stuff
My brooch arrived yesterday and it was perfect! Have stuck it in my drawer along with my bracelet and earrings, so jewellery wise I am all sorted. Still, part of me hopes that a little box will turn up on the morning of the wedding with real pearls or even diamonds but I know Ben can't afford anything like that at the moment. I can't remember whether I said that I had sorted the bridesmaids too? Probably not, in case skate_kitten was hovering so I won't go into too much detail but that's another thing I've crossed off the list!
The last thing to sort now re me is my veil and hair decor. Have almost 100% decided on this for my hair - http://www.edenjewellery.ie/proddetail.asp?prod=C003-CC
with white and ivory or gold pearls and light topaz crystals. I also ordered some fabric swatches from www.veilshop.com, and I can't quite decide on the colour. My fabric material is quite tricky to match, being a silvery/pearl white but I think, actually, the pink blush looks like being the closest but I am in need of a second opinion on that (and possibly a third and fourth!). Then I think I will just order it from them - their prices are reasonable and I have plenty of time. Still pondering on whether to go for the 70" drop veil, or whether to have a two tier fingertip length.
I want to pop to the craft shop on Saturday and see what colour their dark red satin ribbon is again. If it is the same colour as the Trade Me woman's I will just get it from her as it is cheaper, if it is a bit closer to the bridesmaids' fabric I will get it there. I also want to see if they have larger wooden numbers than the ones I've got.
We also need to check out the hotel Lel is booking for her, and I need to finish off the couple of invitations that are left. Some friends are leaving to go and live in Cardiff on 19th and they are staying with us their last two days here, so I'd like to get invites out of the way before they come.
They're having a leaving BBQ on Saturday afternoon/evening so I am looking forward to that!
