Hump Day.

This weather is perfect for capes. Preferably the cute kind, not the flowing in the wind, fighting crime, superhero type.

I haven’t worn my cape for a while, but my sister Jo wore it on the wedding day and as I still have not properly unpacked from the wedding day, it was hanging around the house and screaming to be worn.

Anyway, as I was saying – this weather is perfect for capes. It’s not quite cold enough in the morning to wear a trench or winter coat, but it’s also not balmy enough to just wear a dress. This cape is the perfect solution.


I got it from Sunny Girl a few years back, and I think it was around the $30 mark. Believe me, this little baby has earned its keep.

I’m wearing it with the yellow Angey dress that I got in Thailand, which is honestly one of my favourite items in my wardrobe. Great excuse to go back to Thailand.

One of my readers recognised me in Tiffany & Co on Saturday – I hope you come up to me next time to say hello! The Husband (haha can’t resist) doesn’t quite believe me that people actually read my blog. I show the page view count, and he still doesn’t quite think it is possible. It would have proved him wrong!
Moral of the story? If you see me out and about, please come over and say hi. Unless you are a murderer, then please refrain.
I’ve been writing our Thank You cards and have discovered that they don’t fit in the envelopes I purchased since they are ginormous. Massive. Gah.
I might cut some down to size at work on the guillotine tonight after hours, or just try and find behemoth sized envelopes.

I try and write something personal in each card, I don’t like writing the same message in each card as these people went to a lot of effort to attend our wedding – and we want them to know that we appreciate it!!

Lollys. Sugar Rush.

Our lolly bar was a massive hit on Saturday night, people of all ages loved it.

It was a last minute decision, we decided to have it in the week leading up to the wedding. Had I have had more time, I would have had all the lollies the same colour, and all the jars more matching and perfect.

Bron, our awesome wedding coordinator, set it up and added more of the Windsors vases as I did not supply enough, as I thought it was just going on the guest book table – not a table of its own.

I stamped white paper lolly bags with our names, in blue ink.






Surprisingly, we had a box of lollies left over.



I originally bought about 30kg.


We are slowly chewing our way through these.

Same Same!

Same Same but Different!!!




How happy does my mum look here!!



Sold!



I love this photo!!





Whats the point of uploading pics if I have to block S's face, right?!


Well, NFL season is back. I have already lost my husband to the TV.




Might as well kill time by flooding y'all with pics.


If S had a blog, this picture would be perfect as I am already blocking my face!!









































The band accidentally unplugged our song, so we started dancing at the wrong point, and then half way through S decided he had had enough dancing and cut our dance short!!!


Ohhh yeah!!!


I had these puppies on from 11am - 1am. They started to hurt around midnight, so they did exceptionally well!!

Flowers!!

Here is my bridal bouquet!!




It is not exactly as I wanted, and we had some other floral dramas but I still love it, as it is my wedding bouquet!!!







I am sending them to The Flower Factory today and they are preserving them.




Sometimes preserved flowers can look downright creepy, but I think that they do a good job.

Pre Ceremony Traditions

I don't have many photos to share with you as yet, but thought that I would start with some photos from our pre-ceremony traditions that were held in the hall next to the church..



The weather held up all morning, and then as our limo pulled up at the doors, it started to rain. Luckily our gracious groomsman Ab, and the chauffeur were quick as a flash to get the umbrella for me.



We were running behind schedule, and S had to leave the hall when we were 5 minutes away and wait in the church the entire time so that he would see me.



I love this photo of me entering the hall with Geefa. We had not discussed how we were going to do this, but Geefa grabbed my hand and walked me in.



I was so nervous, I could feel my heart pounding all over my body. When I walked in, everyone turned and looked at me and I just waved and said "yo" when I was standing on the steps, hahaha, such a loser.



As you can see, I added a pink Alannah Hill sash to my dress for this part of the day, so that guests would think this was my dress, and then they were surprised when I entered the ceremony in big bertha.
My gorgeous flower girl, Ashleigh-Rose!



When we walked in, the first person I saw was my friend Sam and I was so greatful that she was standing there as I rushed up and gave her a kiss, instead of standing there with all these people staring at me.



When I finally saw my Mother in Law, I was ushered to a seat on the long table, and told to just sit there, eat, and smile for the photos.



All of the guests got up and were just taking photos of me, without saying anything to me, I was so awkward I just kept grinning and saying "hi!!".



I was too nervous to eat or drink, but there was an amazing spread put out.



Cristina & I


Me asking my kum what I should do, and she told me to just sit there and enjoy, which we did. She has been so much help to me!


My Mum and my Mother in Law.







After we had sat down for a while, and photos had been taken it was time for me to be taken up on stage and the buying of the bride commenced.



My brothers really let the power go to their heads, and were playing it up like there was no tomorrow. It was a lot of fun.



After that was done, our groomsman told me he had 2 missed calls from S, and that we need to move over to the church...



I had all the guests move to the church, and then I got changed into my Ceremony dress....



To be Continued...

Wedding Day Hair & Make Up at Miss Fox

As you may have already read in my previous post, I had my hair set in curls on the Friday night, and slept in them. I sleep on my tummy usually, but sleeping on my face was a whole new kettle of fish. I would fall asleep and then wake up petrified that I was going to smoosh my face and wake up with creases.




When I tried to sleep on my back, my head just kept bouncing like it was on a trampoline. Odd.




I was pretty stressed out on the Friday night as I was behind schedule by 45 minutes, and hate to be late to appointments. When I got to Miss Fox, Victoria rustled up some nurofens, water and a delicious herbal tea which helped me relax. Miss Fox is my happy place.




These photos are from Saturday Morning....



I don't know why I look so tanned, I had zero fake tan on!
Shirley Temple eat yo' damn heart out.


Cat feeding Henry. He is so cute dammit.



I forgot my veil and Goanna went back for it. I'm so silly. How does one forget their veil when going to have hair done for their wedding?!




Jo gets married on October 7, cannot wait!



All 3 of my sisters chose their own hair styles and make up.


Liz had a fantastic high bun - just like how I wanted my hair originally until S persuaded me otherwise...





Jo & I


I love this shot!!






These bunnies kill me with cuteness.








I was surprised to find out that the make up they use is Mineral Make Up. I always thought Mineral was crap and gave zilch coverage. I stand corrected.






"Hellloooo?"



My dress is from Review, and the flower is a random one that I pinned on...

Mum & I



Luna completing her magic. Seriously, the woman is a genius.


Loving life in my veil!!!!!!! That "Wow, I'm a bride!!!" moment kicks in about now...




I am so, so, so happy with how my hair and make up turned out. It was 100% perfection. I cannot fault a thing.




After having our photos outside my hair was ratty from the wind, so I stupidly brushed it out before the reception and it looked nice for an hour or so, and then after all the dancing, hugging, kissing, people grabbing me etc, I ended up with a birds nest of hair.


I can't say that I cared though!!!! Looking at photos from the end of the night is terrible though, my hair is matted and insane!!!!
