*Please ignore my legs.. I still have some residual baby weight to shift before I wear any of these outfits*

So c'mon... which is it going to be? I can't help but feel every dress choice I have is just too short. That was the beauty of the Vegas wedding plan.. it didn't matter how inappropriate my dress may be deemed.. in fact the trashier the better.. in a register office I still want something informal but it's so hard to find the right balance. I want to be conservative yet quirky. Is it even possible?

ANOTHER Dress???

Okay so it might be the 5th dress option I've bought but at £14.99 (here) it was practically free!

I first saw it months ago in store and loved it, it was so Vegas appropriate but by this time we'd already agreed to forgo the chapel of love for a register office so close family could attend. Even at the original price of £34.99 it seemed a shame to pass up but I couldn't think when I'd wear it. When I saw it reduced online I had to have it.. I'm thinking it could be an after-party dress. There are still no firm wedding plans, I think it' likely to all be a bit whirlwind and last minute which is always exciting but I think perhaps there will be a meal somewhere afterwards with friends and maybe drinks.. this is very much a cocktail dress after all. I am planning a big dress post soon to show you each of my options and gather opinions.. they're all pretty forgiving, nothing clingy so even 2 weeks post partum I should be able to model them for you. Now there's a timer on Lee's divorce being final I have to start making some decisions.. it's all very well planning and planning and having all these random ideas and 5 dresses but it's actually going to happen soon and we don't have any real plans at all.

The End is in Sight

FINALLY! Lee has received his decree nisi. His divorce papers will be processed on 17/11 and 6 weeks later he will be divorced. That does, unfortunately, scupper our Christmas wedding plans as 6 weeks takes us to 29/12. We need to give 16 days notice to marry which means the very earliest we can do it is 14/01. So next year. It's unreal how long we've been waiting for this to happen... close to 2 years, that's ridiculous! Anyway. I think the plan is still Sheffield Town Hall now, it's so lovely inside and still inexpensive. We will do it sometime in January and I'm excited. I suppose it will be nice to have something to look forward to after the baby, after Christmas and before our Vegas Vac-ay. January is still wintry and festive it just sucks that we can never have anything just as we want it. At least I can buy Ella and Milo's outfits in the January sales :P

Since I found my dress I've been browsing for shoes to match.. here are some I'm loving. I anticipate this being the first of many footwear posts between now and the big day (hence the title). Everything in this post is available from ASOS (click on the pictures to visit the links) oh and I haven't found the pound sign on my MacBook yet so the figures represent the prices... you'll just have to take my word for it!

ASOS Scala Metallic Court Shoe 25

River Island Studded Platform Heels  65

Carvela Auction Platform Stiletto Court 78

Sam Edelman Lorissa Suede Shoes 180

OK So the last one's a bit out there but I love the studs and my Mum wore hot pink shoes to her wedding.. perhaps I'll carry on the tradition...

Ultimate Budget Dress

I just picked this up from Primark for an unbelievable £17!!!! Obviously I had to share..

Unfortunately I'm at least a month away from being able to try it on so I'm keeping everything crossed that it fits nicely but worst case scenario... it was £17! Who cares?

It totally fits the bill for what I've been looking for, it's formal enough yet not a full on wedding dress, a conservative length, long sleeves for winter but they're sheer which stops it looking too dowdy. Perfect dress for a perfect price. Now to find some equally bargainous shoes....

What Dress Would HE Choose?

Earlier this year there was a feature in Brides Magazine where 3 girls were made over by their betrothed in the dress and style of their choosing. Ever since I have been meaning to do a post like this and after watching Don't Tell The Bride this evening it spurred me on. I never understand on those shows how the guy can get it so wrong. This is the person you're supposed to be "one" with.. how could you not know they would hate that big meringue? Anyway.. I sat Lee down with a dress gallery and got him to save all of the dresses he liked.. here they are

 First of all you can't help but notice there's a lacey theme, right? Not something I'd have expected him to choose. They are all different in their own way but most are sleek in design and beautifully simple. I'm not keen on diamante and too much ruffle so there are a couple I perhaps wouldn't have chosen myself but I think I'd happily wear any of them down the aisle were they presented to me on the big day.

I am of course going to pick my favourites... they would have to be the top left and the one directly below it. Both so pretty and elegant. Now I don't intend to wear a big fancy dress to our wedding as it will be a low key affair but it's always fun to look and maybe now I'll look for something in lace...

I would recommend any engaged or open minded (don't want to scare him off) couple try this.. it's really fun and he might surprise you.
