Help me get my wedding mojo back!

Kooks, 1 August, 2011 at 11:43 Posted on Planning 0 8

Well 4 and a half weeks to go and it's gone! Hmph - I just feel really blah about the whole thing, like it's a lot of work, all the fun bits have been done and I can't really be bothered ☹️

Had my dress fitting on Sat, the seamstress has done a brilliant job but it's a bit tight across my hips and can't be let out and I'm cross with how it looks. My mum, sister and other bridesmaid say it looks great and no-one will notice but I can see it. Other than starving myself for 4 weeks I don't really know what I can do?

Had our engagement shoot yesterday which was really nice but even doing that and showing our tog the church didn't really get me fired up like it should.

Moan - done!

    You just need to start thinking about the day ahead! and how special it will be and trust me by that morning you will be buzzing ! start realaxing and everything will just just simply fall into place! starving yourself is not goign to work it never does you have to eat sensibly with an occasional little treat, and be careful not to eat the sugary fruits! it will all be fine its probabbly just nerves !

    good luck xx

    Aw, I know exactly how you feel. Expect I have 11 days. I'm not nervous/excited/scared/stressed... Nothing. It's just like any other day.

    Saying that, i've a lot other than the wedding going on. By Friday I am hoping I can spend more down time relaxing and thinking about the day etc.

    Don't worry about the dress - I am sure a walk/treadmill jobbie/cross trainer could make a difference of an inch or so in the time you have. I am at the point now where, I honestly couldn't care about my weight. Haha. My intention was always to lose weight, but I haven't - oops!

    Hi Kooks

    AMAZING!!! I love the dress - is it Pronovias?

    And the groom's outfit is stunning - where is that from? I am searching for an outfir for my boys and struggling.

    Hopefully seeing it all in one place will make you super-excited again. I'm excited for you - it all looks incredible.

    I've just provisionally booked the registrar - 1 month and 1 year to go!

    Beautiful dress and your engagement ring is lovely. Where are those shoes from if you don't mind me asking?

    Everything is looking ace.

    Thanks everyone ? - you've made me feel a bit better about it all and LM, I'm glad to hear it's not just me! Hope the excitement kicks back in soon.

    Kanny - it's a Maggie dress and it is beautiful. I love all the detail on it and how fitted it is just wish it wasn't quite as tight on my tummy! Hoping I can sort that though.

    The groom's outfit we've hired, it's black tails with grey striped jacket and a grey waistcoat as we weren't keen on the patterned ones.

    Kharv - they're from Dune and are super comfy, very soft leather! I trawled London before I found them!
