Crossed off.

I tried this gown on.

Liked:
The fit, i had hips!

Dislike
Lots of fabric - huge train.
the sequins on the ripples were off-putting.
The sleeves were in the wrong spot and made my arms look wrong.

First Appointment Booked

I have booked my first wedding gown appointment.

Its really for Winnie, who is also getting married the same year as me, but she works all the time including weekends, she hasnt had any time to focus on her wedding. And cos i work Mon - Fri, I cant escape too far for a fitting.

So Brides of Sydney, well see you next Monday!

Now that takes the cake!

I was googling Chinese Wedding Cake, and came across THIS!

Actually theres more, just look under Cakes: And be scared/horrified/intrigued and amused.

My Cake - I'm picturing something small, classic, chocolate, moist. colour themed with the wedding. Maybe a cake topper. Something I am looking at making myself.

Australian Bridal Expo

Reasons for going:

• Am getting married - not sure what to do
• Sucker for show bags

There was a plethora of photographers, video guys, jewellery designers, wedding dress makers, flowers, hotels, caterers, honeymoon locations, dry cleaners, cake makers, table deco makers.

Highlights.

• Cake Testing
• The Catwalk - More later...
• Jewellery Design
• Interior of the Strech Hummer (looked upon with curious horror)
• Society Photography Studio
• Bling thing for hair
• fluffy shawl
• Pretty Photos
  

The Catwalk. They exhibited a few of the dresses and mens suits on offer. The highlight was the men. The strutted their stuff in suits and kilts (one guy actually had a fan club!)

THEN they did an underwear session. >_< style="font-weight: bold;">Post:

First Gown

Steph was getting his final fitting for Lu and Denzils wedding, so while we were wating for them, i was roped into trying my first wedding dress on. It was a white halter neck chiffon piece.

I was nervous but okay. Then she put the veil on.

I paniked. I hyperventilated. My hands shook.

I wasn't ready to look.

On the practical side, it was quite cheap.
