I had a bit of a moment earlier today. An ‘oh my goodness the wedding is really close and there’s still so much to do’ moment.
The pretty pink envelopes containing our guests’ RSVPs fly though our letterbox daily and, while my excitement grows at the thought of finally walking down that aisle, I can’t help but feel apprehensive and, well… just a little bit nervous. The guest list hit 75 today. That’s an awful lot of people.
My ‘to do’ list seems endless and random wedding related objects float aimlessly round my head at all times….
Candles {must buy them}, ribbons {but which colours?}, jam jars {they need scrubbing}, Mr LA’s suit {a serious bone of contention}, wellies {I need some}, cuff links, gifts, cakes, table names, ….
And so it goes on.
Despite my neurosis, I have managed to complete a few wedding related tasks of late.
1) I picked up these pretty 1930s style pyjamas for my bridesmaids to wear while we get ready in the morning. Now I just need to find myself something equally fabulous to waft around in.
2) I laundered all the vintage linen my Mum and I have collected thus far. I was so nervous about washing the delicate lace tablecloth we snapped up for a tenner earlier this year. After soaking it overnight, gently rinsing and then handwashing again it came out looking much whiter. The odd stain remains but I figure that’s just part of it’s history. Many a happy meal spent, if you know what I mean. I shall look forward to ironing these beauties in the days before the wedding.
3) I finally found an affordable bag for my bridesmaids in the form of this pewter embellished clutch from Next. Everything feels expensive when you have to buy three, but £16 for something so sparkly seemed reasonable.
There were also wellingtons {destined for the feet of my maids, as soon as I’ve prettified them with that ribbon that I’m yet to buy} and much stamping of place names. I’m off to London for my hair trial on Thursday and our pre-wedding shoot with Eliza Claire is less than two weeks away. Busy busy busy…
Of course, it will all get done.
Won’t it?

I am so excited for you. I love your blog xxxxx
Of course it will! You always manage to pull it out of the bag at the last minute (a pretty sparkly bag at that too!) xxxx
Of course it will! I know that it will all go fantastic! At least you know what you’ve got to get done, thats certainly a start! But all of the things you’ve given us a sneak peek of are lovely!
The colour of the Pj’s is so pretty. I absolutely love the dusky shade.
The bag looks deceivingly vintage, that was a good find!
Aaah! The wellies I remember you asking for opinions on those, no one was really sure were they, but what a genius and almost obvious idea, change the laces for ribbons in a new colour!! You’re such a creative lady! 😀
It’s all going perfectly and it will all be perfect, you’ll see! ;D xx
Wow, so close now. I know you have your lists…they’ll keep you on track. Nothing like a looming deadline to spur you on. Keep chipping away at the things you have to do….you’ll get there and its going to be so so worth it 🙂 xx
wow those wellies are fabulous! i am sure everything will go very smoothly, you seem very organised already!
This wedding is going to be gorgeous!!!! i wa
wish i was your real life friend so i could come 🙂
