Been a while. Well I just been to try on my chosen wedding dress and get the approval from my folks and its now ordered and the deposit is paid. Tried on the Jewellery set my Mother in law bought me for xmas and that worked really well and chose the sparkley beaded Tiara out of the two my SIL Vicky bought me. Going to go with Vicky and a few of her friends on Good Friday shopping for undergarments and then theres shoes to look out for to. And I need to sort out who or where to get my hair done up by. I have chosen the hair do up style I want So its all come together nicely.

Still lots to do but my outfit side of the wedding being sorted is a load off my mind.

wow only about 7 months left till the big day. Think my Jewellery situation is sorted. My MIL bought me a necklace and ear ring set. sorry the photo isn't great.

The only prob is I think I will have to get my Right Ear pierced again as I seem to have real difficulties to get ear rings in it for some strange reason. My Left ear is fine though.

Hopefully will be in our new house by the end of January, beginning of February and then it will be a case of knuckling down with the wedding. I got to go over everything and see what else needs to be done.

Also I have found the hairstyle I want too which is the second picture. So I'm going to try and chat to all the hairsalons and see what they will charge to do it and how long I need my hair to grow. It's about Shoulder length now. And I hope to get my highlights done again for the wedding to. Just need to look into the hair pins I would like and think something similar would be nice.

Also after trying and deciding on the dress I liked I decided the Tiara I bought doesn't really work to well. Its to blue. But my Sister In law Vicky has now given me a tough choice lol, as well as buying the Garter I fell in love with she picked up two Tiaras she fell in love with and they are stunning, absolutly gorgous. I'm going to take them with me on the next try on and see which looks best. I will upload some photos once my camera is charged.

Been looking at Jewellery again and here are some of my finds -

From the Top - Blue Butterfly Austrian Crystal Necklace Set $16.99 from Balloons Galore

2nd From the Top - Blues Pearl Butterfly Necklace & Earring Set $5.99 from Balloons Galore

Not sure if Balloon Galore will ship to the UK its something I would have to look into.

The Last Three photos are of Bridal Butterfly Clear Crystal Necklace Earrings S1077 from Ebay by a seller called my-giftshk Costing AU $12.99 and Postage AU $6.99 which will be less than this in UK pounds.

I like the 2nd set of Jewellery as it brings some blue back in to my personal look. And the blue is not to over powering. But I have seen a photo of a fellow member of a craft forum I have recently joined and shes wearing a similar dress to the one I want to get. And wearing this set in gold colour though but she got her daughter the silver set and said it was just as nice which is the colour I would want. It looks perfect size.

More rings I've found but still prefer the ones in the last post but these would fit better with my ring. The one in gold I would prefer in white gold and have some stones.

I been browsing the net for some ideas for my wedding ring and came across this site http://www.stylishbydesign.com/rings-40/ with rings designed by Kit Heath. I love all the ones below but they are made of Sterling Silver and I would prefer White Gold.

I think the last one would work best with my engagement ring as far as design goes. But think my fave would have to be fourth in from the top row. Or even second or last of top row. I'm thinking of showing these to some various Jewellers where you can design your own and see what they suggest and get some quotes. I'm looking at 3mm thickness and possibly one stone but small or Tiney.

Had an email back from Allum and Sideaway and they can do some of the above rings and the prices range from £200 t0 £370 the price can differ slightly depending on My ring size and the quality of the stones chosen. The prices that I was given are based on 9ct white gold as requested, with blue topaz and cubic zirconia (white) stones. Each ring will be hand made to My specification and the process can get more detailed once I've chosen the one I'd like to be made for Me.

I have yet to get back to them and discuss which one I would like as I need to discuss with Dave what were doing ring wise, but at least I know they can do it if we would like.

In order from left to bottom - (2.) £260 - £280.00 (3.) £240 - £270.00 (4.) £260 - £280.00 (5) £200 - £230.00

Started to look about and try and get some Ideas for Wedding Rings. Here are some that I found that Dave has said he liked the most.

He likes the Top Left ring in the Picture above

He likes the Left and second in on the left of the rings above.

And he said the Bottom ring and ring on the right that's standing on its side aren't bad.

He would like it to be silver in colour and not bothered in the type of metal as long as it's with in our budget which at the moment isn't really set for deffinant but we dont really want to be spending hundreds on them.

I'm struggling on my Wedding ring as I really don't like the Idea of a plain band that fits the shape of my engagement ring which is a 9ct cross over style with Topaz and silver stones. I like the Idea of it being simple, fit the shape of my engagement ring and be low in cost but unique and possibly with one stone. Have put a post on the Wedding Announcers Forum and hopeing some of the ladys may have some ideas or pics to share.
