Short hair

I have short hair, and I'm not growing it for the wedding as I want to feel like me. Unfortunately (for me that is and not for the beautiful brides) the majority of the pictures I have seen of weddings seem to have the brides with luscious long curls or an up-do, neither of which is suitable for me. So I had a dig about and luckily came up with some inspiration.
This first one is slightly longer than my current do, but it is nice and relaxed. A little bit of sparkle too, but not a big 'crown-like' tiara.
This last one has a veil, which I am trying to persuade myself will look fine, as I have my mum's one to wear. I tried one when I went dress trying and it does make one feel suitably bridal as soon as it is attached!

First signs of stress

The week started off well as we visited what will now be come known as the dream venue. It is beautiful, has a great layout and everything we need. The location seems at first glance to also be great. But then the realisation struck about the ceremony. I was doing as my very detailed and helpful to do list instructed for the 12-18 month period before W-day, and checking out the legal side of getting married. I checked the legalities of church and civil ceremonies, and only at that point found out that we can't make a civil ceremony into the religious one which would suit our complex needs, in fact you can't make it religious at all. How did I not know that? When I mentioned to my mum she said "well, yes, of course!", just me not knowing them. So that put paid to the idea of getting someone (ideally the minister from the church we went to at University) to do the service, and a prayer from J's cousin, while the registrar can just sit and watch. But no, that...

Blue love

I love love love this inspiration board on The Finer Things blog for their 25th Wedding Wednesdays! Makes me feel secure in my want of a blue wedding... They posted more blue boards, based on the invite in the top row, during the day yesterday. Beautiful! Yes, I know I said I was stopping looking while the first crisis is happening, but those blog posts don't stop arriving!

German wedding cup

Gosh, March already, I can't believe where the time is going. I've already been engaged (and looking at pretty wedding ideas) for nearly 8 months, and the wedding could be in as little as a year (although we still don't have a date). Someone at a party yesterday suggested to me to have a one year engagement/announcing the date party - well any excuse! I keep meaning to look at wedding traditions, as there are some things I don't fancy doing (like chucking my bouquet) but I need to look at the provenance of these things before I get rid of them. I'm not superstitious in the slightest, but if something has some significance (particularly if it is religious) then I don't have a good reason not to do it. One tradition we came across on our recent trip to South Africa was of the German wedding cup . We were at a winery which uses it as their emblem, due to historical family connections. There is a lovely story which goes behind it, but the main fun is in the toa...
