My Dress!!!

I am having my dress made by the wonderful Sienna!

Sienna is starting up a business as a wedding dress maker and I am one of her six projects to get the business up and running.

She is fantastic - extremely telented and very friendly.....at our last fitting she gave me cookies (now thats the way to my heart!)

We have chosen a design and are currently in the calico making stage. I tried on the beginnings of the calico pattern last week and it was so exciting! 

Next up we need to choose colours and materials and then its onto making the actual dress!

It is so much fun being so involved in the dress making process - I am so lucky to be able to have it made for me.

Update

I just realised it would probably be good if I updated everyone on where abouts the planning is atm.......

Flights

London to Auckland!

Matteo and I will leave London on the 15th of January 2014 and arrive back on the 5th of February.

Venues

The wedding ceremony is going to be at St Michaels Church in Remuera on the 23rd of January 2014!

The wedding reception needs to be invites only unfortunately as we are keeping it very small and intimate however we would love to see you at the service :).

Lingerie

I have just returned from Westfield in my first attempt for bra shopping.....outcome - over whelming!
I'm really not the best at this haha......ahhh I need my sisters!
I found a cute little shop called Boux Avenue however where the lady was really helpfull and gave me a proper fitting. I didnt find anything that I really liked however but I did find this snazzy little strap that hooks onto any bra to give it a lower back so I got one of those :).

ps. If anyone knows of any good bra shops in London let me know :)

The countdown begins!!
