Wedding deliveries

I have had a few wedding related deliveries this past week.. I have also had a few comments from people about how organised I am in planning the wedding well ahead of time - I swear planning is my middle name

 - A is not surprised at all.

So what did I receive?

My shoes arrived from netaporter, packed so sweetly....

Unfortunately they are toooo small. They are a size 40 and fit my girl who is usually a 37/38. Back to the shoe searching I continue...

Any suggestions are more than welcome!!

I also received my garters from NanaRoseDesigns - one throw away and one keepsake.

They were such a good price at only $27USD for both.

The pink is a little darker than I expected, but I love them nonetheless. There was also some "Hollywood tape" in the bag to ensure the garter doesn't slip - if I continue to lose weight this will be very important!

I also received some sample invites from Ink and Love.

I previously thought that I had decided what style I would like and it would be like this one I posted, but then I laid my eyes on these beautiful lace beauties...

They are all around the $5mark, which I don't think is too bad at all.

Mum, I and Zoe from Big Apple Red are currently playing around with the idea of using black lace throughout the styling and these invitations will go perfectly. I love the glamour black lace can bring to an event.

What do you think of black lace styling? Have you been to a wedding with it or seen any inspirational photos along that theme? I need all the help I can get!!!

On the topic of all things wedding.... my makeup artist (trial next Saturday eeeep!) Susie Ayoub has been posting many "before and afte"r shots on her Facebook recently..

I think they look great and really showcase her talent!

I looove this look above!

 I can't wait for my own transformation next week!!

WEDDING SHOES!!!

I have been looking at potential wedding shoes since we got engaged. NO JOKE. I love shoes and I love planning my wedding, so really this should come as no surprise lol.

Originally I wanted classic white peep toes with a bit of spunk like diamontes or a blue bowed shoe clip.

My next faze was blue shoes for my something blue, but nothing really hit me and I figured it might clash with the softness of the BM dresses.

Lately, I have searched many, changed my mind daily and the only constant thing I have looked for is shoes with a bit of colour, that a soft, pretty and of course WOW!

I had a particular pair of Rosamosario shoes saved to my favourties on Internet Explorer for a while now and yesterday as I was cleaning up my favourites, I clicked on them again to see they were now 40% OFF on net-a-porter.com.

SOLD.



These Rosamosario Monica Bellucci lace-covered satin mules will be my wedding shoes (hopefully).

I say hopefully, because net-a-porter says they are a small size and they only had a 40 left, so fingers crossed they fit and the heel isn't TOO high.

I think the soft pink and black lace will go perfectly with our pink, black and white coloured theme, while giving me a little bit of POP colour underneath my dress.

I am in love with these buttons and I want similar ones (in white) on my dress.

What do you think? Do you like them?
