Anniversaries

I'm going to be a little quiet on the blogging front this weekend as I'm heading away from computers and the city and having a weekend away with Mr W to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary (and eighth year together!).

I know it's such a cliche but our wedding day was amazing and I loved every second of it...and I was never one of those women who had dreamt of this day since I was a little girl! I did not want a big white wedding, with a horse and carriage, and swans and castles and all of that sort of stuff!

What we had was just a wonderful, relaxed day with friends and family...and an amazing party!

So I hope you'll indulge me tonight with a few photos of my wedding day, just to remind me of what an amazing day it was...and how much I loved my non-traditional wedding outfit! All of it was bought in a sale...except the Vivienne Westwood handbag which fell to pieces after about three uses and I now have a totally different bag as a replacement!

My inspiration for my outfit had been the Autumn/Winter 2009 Dolce & Gabbana collection but as quite a few grand on my outfit was out of the question, I used it as inspiration and shopped elsewhere.

The dress (and there was a matching coat) was from Aquascutum, jewellery was Lulu Guinness, headpiece Chapeau Claudette, shoes LK Bennett and the hold-ups, which had a saucy seam up the back, were from Agent Provocateur. All bought in the January sales last year for bargain prices...and hair and make-up done myself (just the words 'bridal hair' had me running and screaming out of salons!).

My lovely husband wore a very cool three piece suit from Gresham Blake.

in her Reiss dress & Kurt Geiger shoes!

And with my best friend Lisa...I only know
the raspberry pink shoes are from Zara,
as I was with her when she bought them!
