In an earlier post i asked if anyone could help with a website that could provide me a belt/sash thing to complete my Provonois wedding gown. I had a few suggestions the best being etsy in my honest opionion. Today after completing a 62 hour working week still in my pjs at four in the afternoon!!!!!! i finally think i have found a website that can provide me with what im looking for. The website is called dreamtime creations.Ive ordered the crystal banding 491317 i think it will be perfect and for £40 alot less than the belts ive seen on etsy. If you need to add some bling to your dress or like me in search of a belt check them out

Oh dear,why dont you go and see her and tell her what you have told us.If she is depressed about her mothers death she may and probably is not thinking correctly.Remind her of you were there for her.Just tell her straight but kindly of course.I think when people are low they just think of themselves and she may need a nudge in the right direction. Good luck xxx

Hi, i just think your dress needs pulling up a little.Its very pretty.x -
Thanks for the advise girls Caroline you are right i tried a belt from another gown in the shop and asked if you could buy them even though it was a different designer.Firstly they said no and then she and i nearly fell over when she looked into it a bit more and found yes infact you could purchase it for the grand price of £545.I said oh ill have 2 please.I looked on ebay and all they had were fabric ones.Ill keep looking and and hope someone can give me a good lead Thanks girls x

Show us your wedding dress!
roo66 replied to Jennifer's topic in Destination Wedding Dresses, Wedding Attire & rings
Heres mine girls.For those of you who dont know my story i have been married twice before but still wanted a wedding dress that was different and unusual today i found it Pronovias Desert Wedding Dress Size 6 | Used Wedding Dresses | Once Wed This is the best image i found i didnt buy this exact dress i wish i was a size six but hey ho i got a real bargain. I went to town today just for food shopping haha!! I had already bought a wedding basque which i will need to sell I guess im a one and a half dress bride lol I called into a wedding shop just for a look at what they had on the way out the owner asked if she could help.I tell her i need to find a skirt to go with the top i already have and she takes me upstairs to have a look.yes she has two skirts but neither would i be seen dead in. I scour the rail and say oh i like that, she pulls it out i love the shape not sure on the sleeves and ask for the price at the same time whilst shes looking i ask for the designer and spy Pronovois.I lovvvve there dresses.She tells me its £350 and its a size fourteen. YEEEEEEE HAAAA A bargain and it should fit. I fit straight in it and it does everything for me that i wanted in a wedding dress.Its not the norm it sits high at the back no bum back as my son calls it and its way different to all the dresses in the shops.Dont get me wrong i love the drapped waist but it suits all you young perfect brides not this 44year old mum to three boys and three step kids. Now as im umming and arring about the sleeves the manager informs me we can make changes we can remove the chiffon on the straps add the bra inserts to give me a better shape and i ask about adding some bling. Then she tells me she has made a huge faux pas she read an 8 as a three but as shes told me 350 thats what she will let me have it for.I just need it hemmed and it dosent need cleaning.What a result.The full price was £1200 As far as the bling we are going to add some to the seam that sits under the bust.The lace is really unusual the best way i can discribe it is very open almost like a table cloth haha im not really selling it now am i. So girls im going to ask your opinion without pictures of me in the dress do i remove the shoulder straps completly the sales assistant say no but in the advert with the image the straps are gone.I need to add the bling to the waist so it becomes my dream dress What do you all think? Thanks in advance. Maria x PS im now off to search etsy to see what i can find in bling for the waist -

Phew i got off work early tonight so instead of not hitting the pillow until 1.00 im home and chilling at 9.30 The bad news is took a call from my hairdresser and she cant do my hair in the morning as she has flu like symptoms.Never mind ill just have to blow dry it myself.Thats all she was going to do plus she would of run the straighners through it.It does make it a little static so it could be a blessing in disguise. The good news is Weve just booked a hotel in Hyde Park London tomorrow evening im going to be knackered but ive never spent the night in London.We were going up on Wednesday morning to take all our wedding things to the Peligoni offices as they have a couple of containers going out to Greece.I want to see if i can find paper parasols cheaper than £8 each whilst there and were going to eat at Prezzos.Plus ill have my bag in the car with all my bouduoir outfits,!!!!! wink wink.Paul will think his birthday has arrived a few days early.Hes 40 on sunday hence the bouduoir shoot.Birthday/wedding gift. Right now i feel calm which could be cos im no longer at work lol I will post when im home to let you girls know how it went.I just hope i am like the rest of you who say it was a fantastic experience xx Thanks for all the tips along the way.I never got to my goal weight ive lost two stone one more to go BUT im sure with a great deal of touch ups they can make a silk purse out of a cows ear !!!!!
