Had a busy time this weekend just gone past. My best friend was down this way and we hung out and in the evening watched Home Alone. I spent Sunday with T and we thought about our house and all the decoration we need to do so tonight has a trip to Ikea on the cards. I have one of their new catalogues in my bag, WANT THINGS. NEED THINGS!
Looking forward to the wedding fair in a few weeks - today I feel a bit bummed out though, not feeling wedding crazy atm and worry it's lost the excitement as it is so far away? I have chatted to some people about moving the big day forward a year but I want to get it right and not scrimp and save, big budget or not we want it our way!
Anyways, I'm just feeling blue...

Wedding thought of the day - 1333 days to go
Mini-moon or Honeymoon? That is the question! In the week of worrying about money me and T had a chat about cuting more costs. There are a few places we don't want to scrimp on (venue, rings) and a few we think it will be fun to cut back on and DIY (cake, decor, invites) but the we were always keen on the idea of a bug honeymoon. But what if we had a mini moon to Rome or Barcelona or somewhere similar and then the following year did the big ole shindig to give us a bit more room on the budget aspect? I like this idea but I also like the idea of doing a massive blow out all at once! Also we intend to move to Sydney 2 years into our marriage but waiting a year for the honeymoon would set us back in the savings aspect... What to do eh?

What are you wearing Wednesdays
After watching last weeks Four Weddings (if you haven't seen it you must! ) I began to think about wearing white as a guest at a wedding. One of the brides wore a white lace dress and look very much the bride except it wasn't her wedding. But I am not sure I care about that very much -I mean if we were to stick to traditions not many of us could wear a white dress on our own big days, as virginal as we would like to think very little is pure in the modern age! I think if the styling is right guests can wear white! I snooped about on the internet and found some ideas and a few other colours for good measure. I am LOVING French Connection at the moment (their denim wear has such great prints at the moment) so all of this weeks dresses are from here! Enjoy!

Wedding thought of the day - 1334 days to go
We were talking the other day about our wedding budget and it's going CRAZY... I mean simple things like the rings are averaged as about £400 each and ours total 10 times that (I didn't get a proper engagement ring and was promised one for my wedding ring so I have seen a beautiful cartier ring I want - picture below)
So where do we cut back? We think we'd rather have an ace venue and a good party than all that other jazz. So handmade cakes, wholesale flowers, diy invites and decor! I can't wait. I love scrapbooking ideas to copy and I think all the planning and work that we will put in will make our wedding intimate and lovely!

Wedding thought of the day - 1335 days to go
MONEY!! Weddings are insane-o expensive and ours is so far in the distance because of debts we got into (buying a home and having a few holidays - on reflection we could have done without the holidays!) but we are coping! Why can't we just win the lottery and be done with it eh?

Wedding thought of the day - 1336 days to go
We have just come back from a gorgeous holiday in Northumberland. Later (maybe not today!) I will upload my piccies and put a few on here to show you how utterly gorgeous the place was - and full of inspiration for my wedding. Flowers, colours, scenery. It was gorgeous. We had such a lovely time - snuggling up, going for long walks on the sea front and driving through twisty tiny roads. It was bliss. Now to get back into normal life!
