    Update on our rings!! OH's is perfect, looks and fits great so he is very happy with it. Mine however...I was so happy with it and it looked perfect but whilst I had it on I noticed a diamond missing!! It annoyed me so much because of how much I liked the ring but I couldn't risk getting another one in case it happens again, so of course I took it back to the shop and got a refund! Will not be going back there! Now I am back to looking for a ring but at least we only have 1 to pay for this time! x

    That's a shame, but it doesn't bode well if it was brand new and still missing a diamond! Good luck finding a new one, I'm sure you'll find one you love just as much if not more! x

    I know! Quite glad it arrived like that because then at least it didn't happen on the wedding day when it would be too late to return! I have seen one that is pretty much the same but a bit more expensive so I think I will go and have a look at that :) x

    Thinking of getting these as a gift for my BM's for them to wear on the day but not sure if they are too plain and if they will look ok with the dress?

    I decided I am going to ask my cousin to be my 4th BM, I have been thinking about it since we booked and only haven't asked so I didn't upset my other cousin but things have changed so I am going to ask her! Fingers crossed she says yes! Not sure how to go about asking her though as I will need to arrange to go to hers but don't want to give anything away as to why haha.

    In other news, we are booking our honeymoon tomorrow!!! Sooooooo excited lol! x

    I know, can't wait!! Just need to decide if I am going to book in my maiden or married name lol! x

    Ordered a veil!! Still not 100% sure if I am having/want one but a girl I know was selling it brand new for £10 so it was too much of a bargain to turn down! It is a elbow length veil with a white satin edge, which is exactly the length and style I love. I will get a photo of it when it arrives but at £10 I am not too bothered if I don't end up wearing it! Excited to see what it looks like with my dress!!

    I haven't updated this for a while but it feels like I have bought so much over the last few weeks!

    I have bought the flowers for my fish bowl centrepieces, we decided on smaller fish bowls than we originally thought so we will be putting a bunch of 6 lilac foam roses in each, with a glass plate underneath and scatter crystals.

    I have also made a start on ordering my bridesmaids gifts, I have got them a personalised gift bag each and I am going to fill it with little bits and pieces, so far I have bought wedding day y@nk33 candles and glass charms that say BM and MOH, I am going to get them these glasses and put them on.

    I will be getting my FG this one so she doesn't feel left out.

    I will also be getting them some jewellery to wear on the day, maybe some chocolate and a thank you card.

    Used I hadn't bookmarked it as it was usually on the front! Ahh! I LOVE the BM glasses, so much nicer than the ones I got for mine! Flowers are gorgeous. I thought the garter was a really difficult decision as there is SO many! It's lovely and matches perfectly xx

    I was going to get ones with their names on but saw them and thought they would be a bit more personal for the wedding as anybody could get them one with their names on!

    To be honest the garter was something I wasn't really thinking of, my mum said a while ago I could have hers as my something old, but OH thought that might be a bit weird haha. So I started looking and there was so many, loved the vintage ones but didn't think it would match my dress then stumbled on that one and thought perfect! x

    Yeah I don't really see the point in having one really, I am mainly having one just for tradition lol. I left it on for about an hour when it arrived and it seemed ok but it will be coming off if it starts to annoy me on the day haha.

    No problem Emily, she is fab, her bouquets are gorgeous and she's a really lovely lady. Her prices are really good too! x
