The shoes...do you go traditional? Ivory/white delicate, mid to low heels? Not here, I wanted something a bit more jazzy and that I could wear again.
Statement shoes? Encrusted with diamontes? I did have a look at some of these, but just couldn't bring myself to purchase.
Trendy blinged up converse? Not for me. As cute as they look on the right bride, I want to be a princess, and have the shoes to fit.
Shoes to fit the colour scheme? YES! Not for everyone, I know, but I wanted to add a splash of colour and found these beauties to match perfectly.
Our colour scheme is mint and pink, our bridesmaids have mint dresses and pink shoes, so mine will (hopefully) compliment perfectly!
Here they are...the Vivienne Westwood Melissa shoe, these are the Lady Dragons in mint.
Now, onto the diamonds!
This was important to me, seeing as I'll be wearing it for the rest of my life. It may as well be something I can't take my eyes off?!
To start, this is my engagement ring...
18ct white gold, and perfect to me.
I was faced with the issue of metal for my wedding ring. I couldn't have a 9ct as it would ruin my engagement ring! This seemed to narrow down my options, and raise the price range.
I'd decided I wanted a thinish band, half eternity style. A plain band just seemed too 'underwhelming' next to my rock.
Finally I saw it! After months of searching. After a slight blip with sizing and having to return, it's now in my possession
Au revoir! x
