Ladies I'm so excited right now!
On wednesday when i arrived home from work i found an envelope addressed to me, at first i thought it would be the receipt from the Barn but on closer inspection the envelope was stamped with an American postal mark which could only mean one thing............my Dolly Couture Fabric samples!!!
Originally i thought that i wanted my dress to be Ivory Taffeta however when i recieved my samples it changed my mind. The taffeta didn't look very nice to be honest it looked cheap, thin and almost plasticy, i couldn't imagine a dress made out of it.
However the satin fabric looks and feels a million dollars, it comes in white, Ivory and Champagne colours. I LOVE the champagne but i'm opting for ivory as it's alittle more traditional and i love it just as much!
I'll post a sneeky peek when my camera is charged and i can take a picture in the right light to show the colours.

Theme revisited
Hello my lovlies!
Ok so the Hollywood/film theme did seem a good idea until i started thinking about decorating the barn and the tables etc and it was difficult to get things to look right and not look tacky!
And then looking for wedding things naturally brings up different wedding styles and themes and one i LOVE LOVE LOVE!............Vintage! Think romantic florals, Girly prints, Homemade/DIY all the way!! Hell yes i'll take it!
So it's an easier theme to work with and we already have a million ideas for the reception! and it will fit in better with the barn! Win win!

Dress to impress!
Howdy guys and gals!
The company that make the wedding dress i have seen (and ultimately fallen in love with) have announced that they have to raise their price by $100. I know in the great scheme of wedding dresses thats not alot of money but the dress is already 4 times the amount i wanted to spend but i don't think a bride should settle on a dress she doesn't love 100% just for cost when you can spend a little more and get a dress you love 200%!! <3
NOTE TO SELF-Must remember to buy dress fabric samples.-UPDATE! i've already bought my fabric swatches!!!! and i'm so excited to get them!
I don't know the colour i want yet and to be honest i'd love to lose a load of weight between now and about 3 months before the big day so i can look half decent in the dress.

On my mind.
Well the deposit for our reception venue has been recieved by the Barn and we're just waiting on the reciept which seems to be almost impossible for them to send to us! i'm so excited and i want to book all the other things for the day like cars and photographers etc but you can't do that unless you have a ceremony time and thats one piece of the puzzle we don't have. Argh! But still i have plans and the numbers of car companies that i will contact as soon as we get our time :D
Although i really don't want this blog to be about me moaning about things but so far the companies i have called or e-mailed to get quotes or more info from i'd say only a third actually reply! How do these people keep their business going with such bad customer service?
It's a little disheartening when you get excited at a service you see on a website to then be ignored by the company due to very poor customer care. I've decided every company only gets one e-mail. I don't have forever to chase companies who will be costing the earth anyway, so i'll vote with my feet. Are you ready boots?

Theme of the wedding.
This is something that has been on my mind the past few weeks and has been driving me crazy. From tea party to japanese theme the ideas have all been good but they haven't seemed like the right one. At one point i settled on a japanese theme had it all mapped out but then i realised no one would really get the japanese theme an although Ben does like some Japanese cartoon etc it's more a 'me' thing than an 'us' thing :)
So after thinking about every theme possible my Cousins partner gave me some good advice, He said we should do things for us and use things that bring us together and interests we share so immediatly i thought of a movie theme wedding! All of our dates were at the cinema and we love film and still go every week! It just makes sense :)
