But the only prob is they are £145 but it gives me an idea of style to look into. Plus I'd like something with a bit of sparkle or silver.

Found these - Blue Satin Wedding Shoe REF 2803 £29.99 from http://onlineweddingshoes.co.uk/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=163&=SID Here's the write up - Absolutely gorgeous Teal Blue satin wedding shoes with a peep toe and a delicate bow detail edged in silver and a diamante encrusted centre to the bow. and a 9.5 cm heel. Also available in Dusty Pink, Silver and Red. I like the colour of these and think they may go with my dress and the price isn't to bad either. But wondering whether White and silver would work better. it's something i'd have to look in to.

Things have started to come to a stand still at the moment as I'm waiting for a day to be sorted so we can have a talk with The Coppleridge Inn and awaiting a Day to be organised to go and see the dress I like and have a try on. Plus been rather buisy with day to day living too as were now in the process of house hunting too.

Decided today to look into shoes so I can get some idea of what is out there and I may like to wear, as I would have to say I practically live in Trainers lol. I do have a pair of high heal boots but they wouldn't be suitable.

I'm not used to thin heals and showing off my toes, let alone my feet. In fact I hate my feet and wouldn't say they are very flattering to show off lol. So would prefer to cover my whole foot. But any way I'm going to have a look and see what catches my eye and get some ideas on shapes and styles and what might go with my Dress if i get the one I like.

Well I had a meet up with my Mum on Friday and we discussed a bit more how plans were coming along and what to do next. I showed her the price list for the in house Flouriest and she agrees with me that I should go with Di for the flowers. We re-talked about the wedding dress I like and she likes it, so next is to arrange a trying on date, so I want to talk to Vicky my Sister In Law and see if she wanted to come with me and my folks to have look at the dress and get another opinion when I try it on. And the last thing we decided we needed to arrange is a meeting with the wedding organiser of The Coppleridge Inn to get a more clearer idea of costs etc and what else needs to be looked at.

Received our Quotation from Di regarding the flowers we discussed the other day. We need to contact her 3 months before the date of our wedding to let her know whether we would or wouldn't like her to do the flowers -

Greenery over fire place 25.00

Ribbons in Blue, Silver, and white each end of the fire place 6.00

Flowers and Ribbons inserted in the Greenery 15.00

Table Arrangement - Bud Vase with Calla Lily and silver twig and blue ribbons round base 8.50 each

Button Hole - Dave 5.00

Button Holes 3.50 each

Bride's Bouquet - Calla Lily 40.00

Maid of Honour - 3 Calla Lillies with green and ribbons 17.50

Small Bridesmaid - Wand of Calla Lillies and ribbon 7.50

I went to H.Samuel Jewellers to have a look and see if they have any Wedding rings to go with my Engagement ring, but it turns out it is best to talk to thier in house designer and talk over Ideas with him. We have an appointement but not sure as of yet if we will be able to make it, as it's quite a drive from here. But all so whilst there I came across these gorgous flutes - Special Memories Crystal Champagne Flute 6082610. They are gorgous they cost 39.99 which is a little more than what we would want to pay. So they are on my wish list.

Had a meeting with The in house flouriest of The Coppleridge Inn - Dianne, I showed her the artifical Calla Lilli flowers I had originally chosen and she is able to do similar with fresh Calla Lillis. She is going to send us a no obligation quotation in the post for us too look at once she has worked out how much it will all cost. Also she has the vases too which she has said I can use for the centre pieces. And even discussed decoration for the fire place and top table too which I kinda forgot myself.
