Dress Dilemma... again

Some of you may remember I picked out a dress quite some time ago. It was a highstreet bargain from Next which would have suited a pregnant bride just in case! Now I will not be pregnant and we are definitely going to Vegas I decided I wanted something different. Here's the original dress (worn the other day after a year in storage)

It's a beautiful dress and all but I want something a bit more special.

Whenever I thought of our Vegas wedding I pictured something a little kitschy or 50s/Rockabilly

These are so cute, I'm sure you'll agree. I also have another option. A friend of mine bought me a dress for my birthday which would be very fitting for a vegas wedding...

It was from Topshop last season so probably only available on ebay now for those interested, I found a couple of celebs pictured wearing the dress to give you an idea of what it looks like on...

very different but all the same.. Something I'm definitely considering! 

And wouldn't it go perfectly with these shoes..

What's everyones opinion on the outfit choices?

I'm so excited to start planning again and hopefully you're excited to follow me :)

Back on - Vegas or bust!

It was decided this week once and for all that the original Vegas plan is to go ahead or we're just not doing it. I can't get excited about doing it any other way. Various problems with Lee's divorce put things back time and time again and now I'm pregnant it really felt like the pressure was on to speed things up. In order to put all of those things aside and still do things the way we wanted to all along we have planned the trip for after the baby is born. April 2012! It will be booked this month... we are set on the chapel of the bells I think but the hotel is still up for discussion.

There is so much choice when it comes to Vegas hotels and it's a special occasion.. much research is needed to ensure we pick the one that wont disappoint! I want romance and opulence as well as location, a fantastic pool and all for a great price. I'm leaning towards to Signature hotel and the MGM Grand right now.. it's an all suite, non-gaming hotel that has received fantastic reviews on trip advisor.. I considered the Bellagio but it doesn't seem to be all that anymore. Last time I went I stayed at Caesars which was great but I'd like to try somewhere new so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I'm excited again that all of my previous planning and collecting hasn't gone to waste and when I'm good and pregnant I will have incentive to exercise and get back in to bikini body shape haha! 

ON HOLD

I'm both sad and relieved to tell you that the wedding is on hold.

I am frustrated with the situation. I am now officially divorced but Lee is having no end of troubles with his. He is not in control as she is divorcing him but we are paying all of the costs. We have decided to get all of our money back and go on holiday.. once the baby is born we will start the proceedings again but he will be divorcing her so we will at least know what is going on. Without going in to all of the details it's taken a long time to get to the point where I just don't care anymore. I so wanted to be married before the baby was born but I don't want it like this. I want it to be special, I want to be able to PLAN!

So... that's it! done, no wedding, big or small. Possibly a very nice holiday though so... every cloud!

Tempting Dresses..

COAST "alena"

KAREN MILLEN "mamma mia"

I am thinking perhaps something a little more polished than what I have now, what do you think?

Honeymoon in Paris?

How fabulously romantic would it be to escape to Paris for our honeymoon? Lee has never been and I'd love him to see it at night. I've looked at some beautiful hotels and we could spend less money as going further away and have a serious luxury trip. We could stop by Louis Vuitton, Chanel, ... Sephora (of course).

Eat Wine and Cheese on the Rue de la Blah (in the words of Chandler Bing) 

Practice our french kissing ;)

Here's a little mood board, if you will, a peek inside my head..

What do we think of Paris?

Rock and Roll Register..

This popular 60s London Register Office is still very cool today..

I've looked for the nicest UK wedding spot for a very small wedding and most times the K&C register office pops up.. I can ignore it no longer. It was one of the options we were considering last summer but of course we always go back to the NY/Vegas plans. I have come to the sad realisation that my parents forever resenting us for getting married abroad isn't really worth it, is it?

The room I like (happens to be the cheapest too haha) only allows for 2 witnesses but I would like to take my two friends along too, can I really ask people to travel to london only to wait outside while we get married? And there's the question of whether to bring Ella.. ugh, so many decisions for such a small wedding!

Anyway, thinking-out-loud now over, I'll leave you with these pretty pictures of happy Newlyweds leaving our potential venue...

Judy Garland was even married here, to her fifth husband, Mickey Deans.

How much more glam can you get?

The room that I love..

So.. what do we think?
