Suddenly time is getting tight. I expect it was doing that all the while but I only just noticed yesterday!  I have my hair trial next week and I've left it far to late to order flower hairpins from Etsy to arrive in time. Maybe I'll have to buy some cheap ones locally just to see how they work. So, I have a few questions about flowers in hair! For reference, my hair inspiration pic is this one...

So, I've been having a real time of it trying to find some footwear to go with my dress . The first parameter is that I can't wear any sort of heel really. The most I could manage is about an inch of wedge, and we're having an outdoor wedding so anything pointy is out. After MUCH searching and finding nothing I really liked too much, I happened upon a gorgeous pair of Biviel sandals . I actually...

I went for my second dress fitting yesterday and I have to say it's looking very gorgeous. I just posted this and forgot to put my pictures behind a cut. Oops. I went for my second dress fitting yesterday and I have to say it's looking very gorgeous. You may remember my previous fitting (in a deeper green dupioni sample) which looked like this: Here are a few pics from yesterday for...

Dear all, Just to let you know that Miss boobirdsfly  is away vacationing for a few days so we will not be posting until she returns. Rest assured, photos are being taken every day, so there will be a nice glut of several catch-up posts towards the middle of the week. Thanks for watching! Much love, Miss streamsandpools

Well, when we arrived at the store today, Irina, the dressmaker told us that she'd decided to actually...

Hello again, fellow WPs :) Here I am with my promised ring post. As you may remember (but probably don't!) I am already technically married (my partner and I chose to have a courtroom ceremony last September for immigration reasons but are planning our "proper" celebration for August of this year). We both already have placeholder wedding rings but want to purchase new ones for the wedding in August...

Today I went in to the place I'm hopefully getting my dress made to play with fabric! Having almost set my heart on the periwinkle silk dupioni they'd shown me last time I went in I was a bit disappointed to see how little swish and flow it had and was starting to head back towards the original plan of an under-layer of satin with a top layer of chiffon (also in pale blue). But then Irina (the seamstress...
