Evening Wollies!
Picked my dress and paid my deposit today! I put up a poll a week or so ago asking your advice on my top three and I picked dress number three, the one you all seemed to like the most! It's a Venus Woman dress, got it in Ruben Bridal in Calverstown. It should be in by January and then I go for my fittings. Woo!

Have also picked and booked my veil in the same shop as the dress today. It's a single tier, elbow length veil, with some sparkles scattered on it. The dress is very simple so I thought I'd bling up the veil a bit!
Have my shoes, bought them a couple of months ago and they match the dress almost exactly, they're a shade darker just, but you'd hardly notice that and anyway, they're under the dress so no-one will see.
My sister also lent me her tiara to wear and it matches the brooch/decoration on my dress almost exactly! It has crystals and cubic zirconia in it, same as on my dress. Couldn't believe it! She got it specially designed and made for her wedding a few years ago and it cost an absolute fortune and has been sitting in her closet every since, so she wanted me to have it. It's gorgeous and will double as my 'something borrowed'.
So, just to be a big show off, here's everything: Dress, shoes, tiara. Don't have a pic of my veil.
