Hello everyone
Some of you may know me from BT on here, I used to be 'kateg' and before that 'mini'. Well I'm back for some help.
We're renewing our vows in August in a very small service (probably just the 2 of us and the vicar!) in the Actors Church, Covent Garden. We're not even sure we'll have a party after- I need some convincing on that.
Either way, I want a beautiful dress. Probably more bridesmaidy in style that weddingy. I'd like it to be knee length and not just white. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I definitely don't want something available in the normal high street shops because I want it to feel as special as my wedding dress did.
Then I'll need accesories. I love flowers but it seems so pretentious to have a bouquet when it's just the 2 of us. Can anyone suggest anything to use instead?
And then after, the party bit. Should we? I can't decide. All of our friends have got young families and live out of london (spread around the country). It seems unfair (and makes me feel a bit attention seeky) to have another 'reception' after they all attended our wedding 7 years ago.
What are your views? Has anyone got any experience of vow renewals? Pictures, links, thoughts are all welcome
-A very confused and a little bit stressed out wife.
