Bridesmaids' dresses

It's been ages since we've updated - very lax. I guess we've both just been really really busy. So I've sorted the bridesmaid's dresses which is good - I seem to have squeaked in at the last minute in terms of ordering in time! Well, for the dress I've ordered anyway. I had a lovely time trawling round Colchester with one of my bridesmaids, Jo, and found loads of dresses, some of which were frightening prom looking things, and some of which were really really lovely. In some shops, it was like entering a whole other bizarrely coloured world of sparkly weird dresses for 16 year old girls waiting to go to the prom.... very scary! Still, there were some really nice shops and I got a really good idea of what suits and what kind of thing to go for.

So I returned to the lovely 'Abigail's Collection,' because the people there have been so helpful. They recommended a really nice, elegant dress for my bridesmaids which I just loved, so I ordered it. It was in just the right colour too. I won't describe it too much cos I don't want to give away all my secrets! Sadly, I couldn't choose the dresses with my bridesmaids because Rachel and Avril are both in Scotland, and the shop had so few available appointments - Jo couldn't make the only time they had. I hope it all works out all-right. I'm sure they will all look stunning.

Now on to buy accessories! I have to decide to tiara or not to tiara. Can I resist the small girl inside me's desire to look like a Barbie doll princess? Hmmm...

Seriously, having bought four pairs of shoes for my wedding dress already, none of which are quite right, I'm looking forward to going on a shoe hunt with Rachel and Avril, both of whom I hope to meet up with in April. My mum recommended Dr Martins would be more 'me' and I tend to agree.... bright pink ones I think!



We'll post sooner next time!
