A bouquet fit for Snow White
Having the wedding in Lapland, with all the pretty snow everywhere and being a massive Once Upon a Time fan I see myself a bit of a Snow White princess. My MIL to be is helping with the flowers and the boutonnieres. These will be made up of hand made fabric flowers. Partly because I want what I want and if I left it up to the wedding organisers I won't really know what I'm having. Also, on researching about wedding's in Lapland the cold makes the poor flowers wilt so quickly. And also it's kinda fun and I get to keep it for all eternity!

I have found 'The Dress'
Yesterday I took the Mother and Mother-in-Law to be to see a dress I'd tried on previously with a freind. I still liked it, they both liked it. Yeay!
It's exactly what i wanted in a dress which I thought was going to be impossible to find as up until then I'd only come across strapless dresses that all looked the same or fishtales which are beautiful dresses but don't look that great with my perfectly capable child bearing hips (which reasures me for the future). I wanted the 50's shape, high neck like a boat neck in lace. Audrey Hepburn style. With long or 3/4 length sleeves. Sweetheart neckline underneath the lace. Fitted at the waist and flares out into a 50's style skirt but not a tea lenth. I wanted floor length.
I didn't go very far a-field, that may have been my problem. I stayed around the Nottinghamshire area. Looking at other blogs about weddings and such i have seen things I liked. But then the reality of trying on dresses wasn't what I expected. So some tips for any newly engaged ladies. Don't expect to find the perfect dress straight away and go further afield if you need, to give you some more scope.
I won't post any pictures of it yet but after the wedding I will put all the pictures together so that everyone can have a good nosey.

Wedding Theme Ideas
I've been searching around to see if i can get one similar on the internet, but haven't found anything with these pretty sleeves.
I went shopping last Saturday with my mum and mother-in-law to be to a few bridal shops and found one dress in each shop. One of them was the pretty chiffon fabric that I liked. It had a lace bodice and some pretty bugle beads decorating it. I think i need to try it on again after I have been to a few other shops.
I was hoping to get a wedding dress with sleeves but as I suspected there wasn't any in both the bridal shops that I went to the other day.
I love this bouquet, found on ruffledblog.com. The colours are just great and look very wintry too. I'd like to make my own bouquet to take over there so I might have a play around. Alan's mum is very crafty so I might ask her to give me a helping hand. I will post my experiments on here when I get round to doing it. I'm wanting to wear boots, one reason as I want my ankles to be warm and another reason is they will more comfortable to wear all day and I'll get to wear them forever more. And I'm not that keen on wedding shoes. My other thought was gloves. It's going to be so cold out there, so for the wedding pictures I could have some pretty white leather gloves on and my sister could be wearing some cute red leather gloves. I'm more concerned about my sister as she is super skinny and takes after mum with the cold. They are both always cold even on the hottest day they are cold?! Also thermals, we will all need thermals. I don't know if I'm getting carried away or not as we won't be long in the cold, most of the time we will be indoors. Hmm, better safe than sorry though I think!
I'm going to book some more dates in the diary to try on some dresses, once I've decided on the dress I'm sure everything else will come together.

Lapland planning begins
Wedding is all booked for the 20th December 2013. This year!! It's already coming around too fast. I rang around a few places and found that most weddings are held in Dec/Jan so we thought, might as well do it this year.
The place that i loved the most for the venue was at the Snow Princess Hotel. They have this cute little Kota (Tipi) that i thought looked ultra cute. Here's a picture off the website.
There is a beautiful roaring fire in the middle of the venue. I've scoured Trip Adviser too of other peoples trips to Lapland, it's looks lovely inside. For the wedding they will decorate with candles and old fashioned lanterns.
My favourite colours are red & green so i am thinking, red, green and gold theme. Obviously I don't have as much to plan as a usual wedding so this colour scheme is for me, my bridesmaid who is my lovely big sister and the button holes etc for Alan and the other men. My dad, his step dad and the brother-in-law.
All the in's and out's of the wedding aren't sorted yet. Not sure what time we are getting married what we are doing after etc but we are sorting all this out now.
I've obviously been searching the web for ideas. I went wedding dress shopping last Saturday with my mum & Alan's mum. It was more fun than I though. I wouldn't say i was a total tomboy but I'm kinda in between. The thought of trying on loads of over sized dresses that made me look like a toilet roll holder was not very encouraging. All the dresses that I've seen on google too aren't too meringue like. But everyone kept saying that I'd like something that i didn't think I would. (Which secretly annoys me, I know what I like, OK?!) I was right, or maybe it was a bit of stubbornness but the big meringue style ones were not my cup of tea at all, however, they were not as bad as I thought and they did look good so I have changed my mind slightly. Not for me though as I have to get the thing over there so don't want to get anything too big.
I will do a little mood board and post again with my ideas.
Bye for now x

Inspiration
So, my inspiration for the wedding is my beautiful ring that my new Fiance chose for me. Weddings are every girls excuse to have a little 'Princess' stylie fun!
I'm a big 'ole Once Upon a Time fan so something a little magical i'm thinking. We've decided to get married in Lapland. Alan's not one for big do's, (think he'd just nip to the registry office if i'd let him) but I don't want him to steal all of my little girl dream completely so when i showed him that you could get married in Lapland he nearly pee'd himself. Yeay! So we are both very keen to get our little wedding sorted in Lapland.

Engaged!
This Christmas was a very special Christmas for me. Alan proposed!
On Christmas morning, we woke up (pretty early) and with Christmas excitment opened our present in our stockings that were left for us by Santa at the end of the bed.
Merrily opening chocolate bar, after chocolate bar after knickers & socks I got to the last present at the toe of the stocking and out pulled a tiny boxed shaped present. Getting all excited I opened it quickly and opended the box up revealing a beautiful diamond and emerald gold ring. He laughed at my excited and asked if I'd be his wife and of course I said 'Yes!'
I'm already obsessed with looking at wedding stuff so I'm sure I will be sharing it on here very soon...
