Going away Dress

is ordered!

The dressmakers have come back to me. no change in the cost of making the other 2 dresses.

so now i have to send over the measurements!

Cloak Fabric

Ive found the perfect wool fabric for the bridesmaid's cloaks! it was at spotlight for $40 per metre. a bit exp but the fabric is used to make baby wool blankets so the girls should be toasty warm in them.

Swatch Book

hooray! I got my swatch book!

now i know which shade of chocolate and champagne gold i'll get my dresses in. and also which type of fabric! so exciting!

Now decisions decisions.

Oh and i've picked the going away dress! I did ask them to make another one but i think its safer to stick to a pattern that they have. Otherwise theyll invent something.

They dont have the style of bridesmaid dress i have been thinking off. but fingers crossed theyll agree to something for me.

Its time to decide...

Which Earrings?

Both are made with Swakovski crystals and freshwater pearls.

Ornate or simple drops?

Short Cloaks

Okay I'm basically having a winter wedding.... The guys will have woollen suits, but the girls will be in little slips.

Time to get some warmth into the party

I'm going to source/make some short cloaks for the girls and a big long one for me.

Dream a little Dream of...

Shopping at Big W for bridesmaid dresses...

Do you think my subconscious is taking this wedding on a budget a bit too far...

I could coin a new wedding phrase... The 2 dollar wedding, or the Chickenfeed Wedding...

But back to the dream - Surrouned by mobile racks of dresses, we found some scary stuff (today's fashion) some summer dresses with huge flower patterns. But we (Kath and I) did find some pretty jewel-toned strapless numbers, with a crossover sweetheart necklines, but I thought the hemline was way too short.

Woke up shortly after, feeling a bit perplexed and a bit cheap.

FYI - I think I'll get the girls dresses made while i get my Quawh done in Shenzhen
