The dress is coming along beautifully!
Philippa is working her magic and I think we’re nearly there! It’s been so amazing to watch something from my imagination being brought to life in-front of my very eyes.
So with that in hand, it’s time to sort one of the most exciting bits… the shoes!
I have always wanted to say “I Do” in Choos, so we booked an afternoon at the Bond Street Jimmy Choo store.
I’ve known the girls for years, and of course they made me cry (as I have in every wedding themed appointment so far!) with the most beautiful surprise.
Valentina and I had our little emotional moment and then like any good Maid of Honour, she insisted we get down to business.
Choosing our shoes from the Aladdin’s Cave of treasures…
So many beautiful creations, everywhere we looked!
It’s a very easy place to get carried away!
We pulled ourselves together, and took a second to enjoy the moment.
If I had one piece of advice for any brides and bridesmaids out there, it’s to try and enjoy the whirlwind. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and drown in wedmin, but it really is such a short and exciting time, it’s a shame not to enjoy yourselves. Whatever task you’re handling, big, small, fun or stressful, try to take a second to look around and take a mental picture (and a real one if you like!) it’ll double your joy, I promise.
Champagne helps too!
We told the Choo girls what we were looking and hoping for.
For me, comfort. Something elegant that I can wear all day (and night!) long. I want to enjoy every second of my wedding day, and I know I can’t do that in pain.
That ruled out anything sky high, but still gave us lots of options to play with.
