Righty-ho, enough of my moping. Here's what we have so far and I'd love any comments you may have about things to add, take away, develop etc. Particularly interested to hear your thoughts on colours, flowers etc. Mr CB is keen on white or neutral flowers:







My three bm's (one teal, one midnight blue, one purple)


Trying out the bm dresses!

my sort of frock - mine is based on this but has some additional lace. I'm going to wear it with a shorter veil and the shoes in my avatar. Any ideas as to hair and jewellery?


I like things like this - natural fabrics and colours.


Erm, not sure what else to add. We want a relaxed and happy day. I also want candles, lots and lots of 'em!

What do you reckon?

    All of it looks lovely, i'm loving the natural, relaxed look.

    That style dress looks amazing on you, exactly what imagined you to wear.

    And i think your OH is a genius for the all white flowers (that's what i'm having, he he)

    I love this style, so relaxed and yet sophisticated. I think it'll all come together and look beautiful. I love the natural colours. Pity I'm such a pink girl! Lol

    Plus I really want to see your actual dress! ?

    Me too, Nursebride - nit until March though, boo.

    Any thoughts on hair, jewellery (am thinking no need for a necklace?), flowers, centre pieces etc?

    For someone who was so worried that she wouldn't look radiant enough - you look absolutely beautiful! Silly woman!

    Everything else looks lovely, I think the cream flowers for the bridesmaids will look great too, especially with the setting and the 'natural' look you want.

    xx

    March some time, I think, Ili. It's not even a toile yet. It only exists in my mind, despite paying my 50% for it! Come on, Ms Allin, make my frock!

    Is that the length of your hair now or will it be longer? Just trying to think hairstyles for you

    My hair is just past my shoulders. Not sure if I'll grow it longer but I suspect it won't be any shorter than it is now. Thanks, Nursey!

    Love your bridesmaid dresses. They add a little colour to your neutral scheme.

    They were a fab bargain in John Lewis - £79 each! They also come in a longer version at £99. The do the colours I have as well as a black version.

    I love everything you are planning! I love the bridesmaids dresses being different colours, I have been hoping for something like for for ages! I am getting even more excited that I get to photograph all this! Did you post a concept image of the dress and I missed it? I promise not to move if you post it again! Can't wait CB Smiley smile

    edit, nevermind, I see the dress now, I guess I was too excited and didn't give it time to load,, fabulous! You look stunning already. Smiley smile

    Bugger, missed the dress! Everything else looks fabulous though.

    Here's some hair pics I had saved...





    And here's the back of mine from my trial. I'm just wearing a simple pearl and crystal alice band through the front.

    Love the hair pics, I shall be nicking those, ta! Have put the dress back up for a bit, too.

    Thanks, Teri, I hope it'll be a lot of fun! The bm dress pics don't do the colours justice, they're more peacock like in their shades.

    Dress is spectacular! Really beautiful. I think the simpler the better with that. Maybe some nice drop earrings and a bracelet - I wouldn't have a necklace I don't think.

    Thank you, HS! I'm a bit on my own with this dress but I'm waiting for another Stephanie Allin bride to appear!

    Definitely do the mood board, lovely - I did mine in powerpoint.

    Oh good, I was afraid in my old age I was seeing things, LOL. The dress is gorgeous,, love the long veil, but in the end you have to go what you feel best in. (sending subliminal message to go with the long veil, LOL) You are more likely to keep the veil on longer if it doesn't get in the way tho. Loving everything Smiley smile

    I've been lent a cathedral length veil so I can always bring that for some photos if you want, Teri? That way I can wear both! *greedy, much?!*
