Our Wedding



And the photographer....

  My Dad!

I will do a full post very soon but I sensed some of you would be impatient to see the photos so I thought I'd get them up as soon as I could. All in all it was a great day and I'm still very glad I didn't spend a fortune. I will be unveiling my budget in an upcoming post for those interested.

Photo Checklist


Now we're definitely getting married over here with friends and family I want to get the most out of it I can. We wanted to do it alone as you know but there are many benefits to letting others share in your special day and if this is the way we're doing it then I will be taking advantage of them! The main one of course is photography! I plan to have everyone take as many photos as possible in the hope we will have one or two that I can frame. There are certain photos we can set up and take ourselves (I'm a total control freak) but some we will have to rely on others for (nervous). Here are all the shots I want to get out of the day...

The Rings, 
My Shoes,
Me Getting Ready,
My Dress,
A Kiss,
A Classic Bride & Groom Pose,
A Group Shot.
I pretty much only need help with two or three of those so finger crossed we will still get a nice collection of photos - after a little editing no doubt.

Boudoir Photography

Now I'm not a total stranger to a little boudoir photography but the growing trend for brides to have this type of erotic portraiture done prior to their big day is one I'm not so sure about. The concept is a good one, a gift for your future husband and something to look back on with (hopefully) pride one day. It appeals to the narcissist in me and immediately brings me back to Samantha in SATC having nude photos taken. No matter what you think of yourself right now in 20 years you will look back and realise how slim and attractive you were. Perhaps a photo session such as this could show you that sooner... perhaps it is the perfect affirmation with which to begin your married life. 
I'm not sure how I'd feel about taking my clothes off in front of total strangers but if I received beautiful images like the one above at the end of the day I think I could be persuaded.

The photo was taken from FYEO Portraits. 
Packaged start from £199 and you can check out their site here

Would you strip off for the pro's?

Suited and Bootied

Just had to share this..
If we get married after the baby in December the baby will obviously be there... you know what that means? A baby grow tuxedo!!! I've seen these so many times but it just popped into my head the other day and now I'm totally sold on the idea! I mean.. how cute would it be? Ella could have a nice dress and the baby will look like all dapper and cute... just like his Dad ;)
These are available all over the web but as soon as I buy one I'll link you up. I think waiting til the baby is born is the best idea.. I don't want to look back on my wedding photos and look huge. Right now I'm not so bad but towards the end I know I'll be a whale.. so this way I will get to wear a nice dress (courtesy of Spanx) and both f my children will be present. I've even found a photographer that's quoted me a very reasonable sum for the kind of photos I want. It could be just 3 months away..
How exciting!

Celebrity Wedding Photo Style..

As you know I have been waiting to get re-married for what feels like an eternity. I feel like I've abandoned this blog a little as I'm trying not to dwell on wedding planning until we can set an actual date. It's just depressing. But I feel like we're getting closer now so you may see more frequent updates here from now on.
I've been thinking about my priorities. We don't want a big wedding, by all accounts it would be classed as tiny. My dress is of course important, I want to look and feel great on the day and I think I found that early on (although I haven't tried it on it a while... must do that soon). My shoes.. again, important that I feel good in them but they don't need to be expensive and I have a couple of options that may fit. My hair and makeup will be given some extra time and consideration.. I will be doing trials on youtube and you guys can tell me what you like best.. I'm thinking of starting that soon. When I think of everything I have to do I'm not too worried. It can be put together at short notice with little effort. It's all very relaxed and casual, we will book when we can, we will invite few people, if they can make it then great, if not it doesn't matter, we're happy to go alone. So if none of that really matters then what does?
We go to city hall, we marry, we come home, we're husband and wife... that's it?
What do you have left? Photographs of course! 
If I have only one thing I want it to be THE photograph. 
The one that we can frame and hang on our wall for the rest of our lives, that we can hand down to our children, that will serve as a record of our wedding day.
I was married before, I did the whole big wedding, all the plans, all the money wasted and I got some great photographs, I never framed one of them. This time around I don't need all that, all I want is one beautiful shot that shows our love and happiness. 
I have sourced the following celebrity wedding photos online for you guys to take a look at, they are exactly what I want. Of course in the real world it doesn't always work out the way you want but I would absolutely die for a photo of us like this to hang...


How gorgeous are they?
I am a jealous person, it's an ugly trait but I am. I am jealous of anyone with beautiful pictures such as these but I love to see them all the same so if you've posted pictures somewhere or have a blogpost to share please leave a link in the comments. I am excited to be married to Lee and excited to be able to announce a date to you all that we can finally do it. I'll keep you posted and will start hair and makeup looks very soon so watch this space.

XOXO
