Something fun that happens after your wedding…a warning from an OM

Snowrose, 29 October, 2014 at 16:10 Posted on Planning 0 8

Around this time last year I was scouring the shops ahead of my December wedding for the following things:

A grey/silvery grey faux fur coat for me

Ivory/cream faux fur jackets for my BMS

Silver/sparkly cardigans for my BMs

Sparkly ballet pumps to change into in the evening

Could I find any of those things? No. Are there now available in the shops in sickening abundance? Yes.

I do think the shops should stock whatever I want at all times.

    You are clearly just a trendsetter, ahead of your time!

    I think this is known as "sod's law".

    This pretty much happens to me everytime I'm looking for something ever.

    Same here, when I planned my colour scheme in July and went looking for purple BM dresses, purple head dresses with butterflies on for my little bridesmaids I couldn't find them.

    Now with everything planned and ordered the shops are full of purple and butterflies!

    Lucky me then....I'm looking for every one of the items you've listed for my December wedding this year.

    Did you manage to find a faux fur grey/silver coat in the end? I'm finding them rather elusive.

    Please please please tell where said things are- I must have bridal blindness or something!

    This happens to me with EVERYTHING! When I had a cocktail party for a birthday a few years back there were a few bits and pieces around but in the months after the party cocktail accessories and cocktail cherries (which I never managed to find) were everywhere!! So annoying!

    Ha, thanks Kimiu, that must be it!

    No, I didn't get a grey coat in the end, but I did manage to find a lovely vintage (80s, I think) ivory one instead that is going to get another airing this December! I've seen several this year, every high street shop seems to have at least one - River Island, Dorothy Perkins, I am sure Topshop must have one (though I won't shop there anymore, not until it comes down a peg or two). Sparkly flats - again, all over the place - Next have some I think. Sod's law is right...
