Bad Month

May has been a very bad month for this blog, which have only seen 7 posts. However, there have been other things in life more pressing than our forthcoming wedding.

We are flying to Sweden in a few days to attend my sisters graduation. I'm hoping that seeing my family and friends again, together with all the graduation celebrations, will awaken my interest in wedding planning yet again.

Until then...

Movie Proposal

I love this proposal! Very romantic and speaks to me as a film lover.

The Previously Secret Perfect Dress Revealed

I've had a long hard think about the dress that I've mentioned here, here and here and have decided to let it go, thus showing it here on the blog. I know that it won't be my dress on the big day for many reasons; you can't order it online and it's only sold in a few selected countries around the world, it's most likely in the price range of a couple of grand which is a price I'm not willing to pay and a copy from China wouldn't look nearly as good.

I love this dress for many reasons, but mostly for the back. I love the floral decoration and the see-through fabric. the delicate buttons and the swirly shoulder straps. I know that the first th

ing David fell in love with was my back and I think he would have loved seeing me in a dress like this. I also love the simple, but elegant flow to the fabric, the almost-not-there train, how the floral decorations nips in at the front by the waist and the pearls and flowers. I love the cut of the neckline.

There is nothing I don't love. Except the price. And the fact it's practically unobtainable. And I can't try it on. And I'm slightly worried that the dress would be unflattering if you don't have a completely flat tummy. But other than that...

I'll find something I'll like just as much, I'm sure. But this was the first dress I fell for completely. Papilio is a true artist. Bye Bye dress, may you make some other bride happy...

Thank You David

Thank You David - for always being there, for always believing in me and for always loving me.

Flower Crowns

When I first started looking at dresses and outfits for the big day I was dead set on something royal and fit for a castle. However after spending a lot of time finding out what kind of wedding would be right for us I have found that this royal look would feel totally out of place.

At the moment we are looking at an outdoor, relaxed summer wedding. Decorated with buntings and wild flowers, with a buffet of gorgeous summer food. So naturally my outlook on how I want to look as a bride has changed dramatically. I now would like to look like a beautiful nymph, understated, elegant and one with nature. THE dress that I'm still in love with, is actually from a collection called 'Nymph'.

These flower crowns/wreaths would complete the look nicely. My mum actually suggested for me to have flowers in my hair when we talked about the wedding (I don't like to talk to much about it with family and friends as I don't want their opinions to override ours), but at the time I rejected the idea. I didn't think it was elegant enough (at this stage I was still thinking royal castle). Maybe mums do know best? Anyway, at the moment I do really like the free spirited look of the women above. With the right kind of dress and in the right setting, it would be beautiful.

My sister's Upcoming Graduation Party

In little over a month we're going to Sweden for a week for my sisters graduation. She'll be celebrated in style at my parents house (just like me and my other sister before her). For me it's an opportunity to observe wether or not our wedding possibly could be held at my childhood home. I have some doubts; I don't want it to feel just like any party, it might be a bit small for what we want to do, do I really want my parents to host it etc. So it will be good to just get a proper feel for what it's like during a party. Cause I don't want to rely on my memory to make a decision.

Of course mostly we'll just be celebrating my gorgeous baby sister and her accomplishments. Can't wait to see everyone back home again.
