I found 'The Dress'!!!

I've found the dress! I really hope my husband too be doesnt find this blog lol but I need somewhere to plot ;) If I find out any of you have given him the URL i'll hunt you down!

In keeping with my labyrinth / peacock theme I've found these... 






Stunning yes? :D They each cost just a little over £100, so if we get it bit by bit each month and keep things cheap like this then we'll be laughing! The dress is just the right shape too to help show off my tattoo. I dont want a vail, Just some Jewels and my hair like Sarahs.

 





Heres some pictures of the venue we have in mind. 








Aston Memorial is such a beautiful building. Each time we drive to Lancaster we always say its the 'Goblin City'. It's just a purfect location for our wedding and the photographs there will be amazing. I just need to find a photographer that meets my high standards ;) I cant remember if the building has toilets so I'm going to look into it as it would also be a great location for the after party / buffet after the wedding. Would really fit the masquerade ball theme and its just so magical! I know they hold weddings there but Im not sure they would rent the building out that long.. might cost a bit too... Shall have to look into it!

I also had a cool idea... what ever we decided for the party location I will ask the owners to put these on the toilet doors.. I found them on ebay. How cool?!

More colour themey ideas...

Wedding!!

I've been engaged 5 days and I'm already planning! I figured if I get a little something every month up till the big day it wouldnt seem like its costing as much... I want to enjoy being engaged for a while and maybe wait a year till we set a date. I want everything to be right so it wouldn't hurt to start planning now, right? ;)

We already know a venue in mind for the wedding, Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. Its such a beautiful place! I dont think we'll have a big wedding though, just close family and friends.

I need to find a reception venue in the Lancaster / Preston area. We only want a buffet, it just needs to be large enough to party! and maybe a stage area for our friends bands to play. The film 'Labyrinth' is an all time favourite of mine and my fiance's so as a theme for the after party / reception... have a masquerade ball with mask and all!

As for the wedding colour and theme I'm thinking again the maquerade idea... but a peacock colour theme...

Time to get planning! hehe
