5 months to go!

So I've almost finished H2B's cake figurine. I still need to add some material for his handkerchief, I have a swatch of the cravat material so am going to cut a tiny piece from that.

I am still in the process of making my own one but have to wait until my dress fitting, I can't remember exactly how it looks anymore! Also i have to decide if i'm wearing a veil or a tiara. Having H2B around is also making things difficult because i have to keep hiding everything as he thinks it is bad luck if he sees anything i am wearing. He has seen my wonderful strapless bra though! oh well, it's not exactly a stunner but it did cost a bomb at £36!

I bought some pearl beads and have decided to try and make my own tiara. Some of them are so expensive and a few look quite easy to make. This is what i've done so far but i think i may go for smaller beads so they don't stand so high on my head.

 (excuse the picture - I couldn't take a picture of myself wearing it)

This is a picture i found online, i was thinking of doing a more simple flower with beads, like this which i made using sating ribbon and beads

I'm on the verge of ordering a veil, but am just waiting on 2 colour swatches so that I get the right colour. I was thinking a shoulder-length one which will sit behind my head. I dont' want something that will cover my shoulders so it will be quite narrow and plain. Something like the picture below.

More wedding plans

I'm still waiting impatiently for my shoes to arrive! Supposedly they were with the courier yesterday morning so hopefully I will get them this afternoon......


I ordered some place cards from breast cancer care (which you can purchase here), they come with little pins, either ribbons, hearts or butterflies. I thought it would be a nice touch in rememberance of H2B's mum who passed away from breast cancer.

I've been trying to decide on a cake topper. I really don't want to pay a fortune for something that I could make myself - and what happens if the figure looks nothing like you when it arrives, I'd be so annoyed! So I purchased myself some little wooden figures that I was going to paint to look like myself and H2B. They look something like this:

 

But in the end I decided to get my fimo out and see what I could come up with. I will post pics when I have finished them, but I am quite happy with how they turned out. Originally I wanted to use fabric for the outfits but couldnt' find a sample of suit material and because the figures are quite small it was going to be very time consuming and tricky. I used acrylic paint instead and will add a few touches like fabric for my veil and some scrapbook-type flowers for the button hole. H2B insisted I make him with a goatee as I was going to leave him clean shaven, but it looks quite cute!
