Blondes Have More Fun!?

My hair has been every colour under the sun! Yep I’m one of those girls that is ALWAYS changing her hair colour! I know it’s so naughty as it’s not good for your hair but I just get bored easily!

Over the years my hair has been blacker than the ace of spades all the way to a white blonde that would have even Hugh Hefner impressed!

Out of all the colours I have been my favourite is a natural golden blonde. I always seem to go back to this shade and when Maxim and I first got together my hair was this colour, so it’s nice memories! Maxim has also told me the blonde is his favourite as he fell in love with me blonde! Awwwww!

When I close my eyes and imagine the wedding I see myself as a blonde trotting down the isle, I also seem to have much larger breasts?! Strange?!

Not only this but I reckon a soft blonde colour will complement the baby pink and silver colours of our wedding perfectly….taking colour co-ordinating to the next level!

Plus pastel pink make up and blonde hair is a match made in candy floss heaven!

Have a look at this beautiful blonde bride and pastel pink make up inspiration!!

So pretty! xxx

Silly Superstitions!

I’m the least superstitious person there is! I’ll happily skip on three drains in a row, fearlessly let black cats run past me and whack my umbrella open indoors without a second thought!

However I had no idea that I’d been indulging in a whole host of wedding superstitions without even realising it! Eeeek! I read an article on where these originate from and I found it really interesting so thought I would share some of these with you…

Keeping the bride and bridegroom apart

This custom goes back to the days of arranged marriages. The fear was that if the pair saw each other before the ceremony (which would often be the first time they met), they might have second thoughts and back out.

I would like to keep this tradition alive though, purely to create more suspense and excitement of seeing each other on the big day in our wedding outfits! I also think it will be so fun to spend the night before with the bridesmaids getting excited and drinking champagne!

The bride’s veil

This originated in Ancient Rome, when a veil was considered necessary protection for the bride against potentially jealous evil spirits as she walked down the aisle.

I was planning on wearing a veil because its pretty and ‘weddingey’ but if it wards of evil spirits too that’s a bonus….

Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue

These  items loosely represent past, present and future. The “old” obviously symbolises the bride’s past; the “new” stands for the couple’s (happy) future. The “borrowed” item should come from someone who is happily married, so that the present good fortune rubs off on to the newly-weds. “Blue” represents fidelity and love.

I think it would be lovely to have something old from my beautiful mother or granny who are no longer with us to remeber them on the big day. I also love the idea of a baby blue garter under my dress!

Wedding Day

English superstition has it that Saturday is actually the unluckiest day of the week to get married!! We are getting married on Saturday as its the weekend and we can all celebrate without hangovers at work to worry about!!

Rain on your Wedding Day

Rain is considered to symbolise fertility. I’ll be bloody pissed of it rains!! Haha!

Who you Pass on the Day

Apparently its lucky if you see a black cat, rainbow, policeman, chimney sweep or frog (as you often do!!)

I am staying in the hotel where we are getting married the night before so lets hope they have some form of fancy dress party staying over that night, with a frog, policeman and chimney sweep!! Hehe! ❤ xx

Brilliant Baubles!

Its December!! There is a chill in the air, the nights are dark but fairy lights twinkle brightly and it smells like Christmas! Beautiful! Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas…..

I am finding it very hard to concentrate on wedding plans at the moment especially as we put our tree up at the weekend (complete with gold glitter reindeer of course!)

So I thought I would do a little blog post on Christmas balls!! Hehe! But not just any Christmas baubles, these are all very special!

Molton Brown have a gorgeous bauble that not only looks stunning hanging on the tree but is full of lovely bubble bath for a hot bath on a cold Christmas night! Mmmmm! They came in a range of colours too so will fit all colour schemes! (We have gone for gold, cream and bronze.)

Ciate one of my favourite nail varnish brands have brought out a little bauble with a mini glittery nail varnish inside! Perfect for the Christmas party and looks adorable! Think we might need to get the gold one for our tree!!

What girl doesn’t love Soap and Glory? They even do a men’s range now much to my excitement so Maxim can share in the joy that is Soap and Glory!! Love their baubles with a beautiful lip balm inside. Get your lips ready for kissing under the mistletoe too…MWAH!!

Maxim and I have just put down a deposit for our pug puppy which we are going to name Maurice! Ahhh!!! We cant pick him up until January though so how about this little pug bauble while we wait for the real thing. How can anybody not want that squishy face hanging on their tree?!

So excited to add some of these delights to our tree! Merry Christmas everyone, the most glittery time of the year! 🙂 ❤ xxx

Something Blue…

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue! I have the first three covered but what about my something blue?! Hmmmm…

I love these cute blue diamond ‘I Do’ shoe stickers! Nice and sparkly too!!

Or why not just go all out and have the whole bladdy shoe blue and sparkly!!!! LOVE THEM!!

My new favourite shop Boux Avenue have a whole range of stunning bridal bits! Love this gorgeous garter with a cute little blue rose, another potential!

I love this mini box with a blue nail varnish in! It’s so adorable but I think my nails are going to have to be pale pink with silver glitter! Such a sweet idea though!

A something blue fragrance!?!? What a lovely thought!! I might have to find this and see if it smells as good as the idea!!

Or maybe something a little cheekier…blue bridal underwear! Stunning!
