Robin Egg Blue...
I absolutely love this colour, I didn't realise I had an addiction to this colour until I started noticing it on all my clothes and all the things we have in our flat. Although some things are more pale blue than robin egg blue it seems like I just can't help myself. So saying that, why hadn't I thought of this before - robin egg blue for my wedding theme! It has that vintage, English countryside feel to it and plus it is such a nice colour that I don't think anyone could hate it.
Having done a little research I have found some images I like in robin egg blue. There is so much on Etsy that you can find if you want a hand made look to your wedding (which I think we are going to do a lot of hand making ourselves to save money.)
Everyone has their own versions of robin egg blue but if someone said to me 'robin egg blue' this would be my idea of it...

I think they look gorgeous as dresses and I think the shade can suit a lot of tones of skin colour, so if you are pale then it won't make you look washed out. I mean look at the fair skinned woman in the picture, it goes well with her skin tone.
The colour reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, which is my favourite book of ALL time! I don't want to go too far down that route and make it fairy tale but it all looks very sweet and chic especially with the lavender.
Love the blue with the pale pink too.
I have had the idea of using photo frames as a different way to show the seating plan for the wedding breakfast, these are nice coloured frames to use.
How sweet is this dress!
Vintage china plates to add to the table decorations.
This colour is swaying more to the cornflower blue than robin egg blue but it's just to show how a nice colour can add little touches to your theme to make it all link together.

The Twist Wrap Dress...
I think I have fallen a bit in love with the idea of these dresses... the twist and wrap dress, 1 dress with 15 different ways you can wear it. As I am having 4 bridesmaids, everyone is all different shapes and sizes (even though they are all skinny minnies) they all have different tastes, body hangups that they don't want on show, I think it is a pretty cool idea to let them design their own dresses but still look all the same.
I saw the idea in a newspaper my mother in law to be got me that had a section on weddings on that were happening locally and it said about these dresses and they are selling them in BHS.

They even have instructions on how you can do them and of course you could experiment to find a style you like.
I've seen you can get them at a few different places and I think it would be good for my bridesmaids to have a dress they could wear them again to other places (it's a waste to wear something once, that should only be allowed for your wedding dress! lol)
BHS only have 3 colours available at the moment, fuschia, purple and jade and 2 different lengths, floor length and knee length. I don't know what they will look like in real life but I am impressed with the amount of options one girl can have!
I found a video with some styles showing you how to do some of the looks but there seems to be quite a lot out there to look at if you are interested in this 15 way dress...
What style do you like best?

Bee in your barnet....
To match the theme of my wedding being relaxed I want my hair to match, I don't want anything fussy and something that makes me feel uncomfortable so that I can't move my head or that I can't bop away later when I've had a few drinks :D
Here are the ideas I have had so far....
I would also like daisies platted into my hair too and that would be my only accessory.
What do you prefer, an up do or a casual look or something else?

Like this but more wavy

Decorations....
One theme I like is the outside folk/hippy look but knowing this english weather it would pour down on the day. Here are some ideas of what I like that I have been collecting....
I like the mix and match look where it looks like items have been collected over the years and makes it look personal to you. We have a predicament though, James doesn't like clutter and mess whereas I can't get enough of it, if I like things I have to have all of them, but in a stylish way. We are going to try and do alot of the things ourselves, like making the table decorations because I don't want to pay out for someone else to do it when I can do it myself and that way it is personal to us. I always find homemade things are better. :)

Music collection...
MUSIC! I always get a mental block when someone asks me what is your favourite song? Errrrrr.......... I'm not the kind of person who bothers to keep up with the latest music trends and songs and tend to dwell in the past with classic rock, motown, rock and roll, I have always been like that (just ask my h.t.b). However there has always been a song that has been our song, me and James, whenever I hear it I think of him. This is Everlong by the Foo Fighters, its the song that makes me sad when I'm not with him and makes me happy when I am. It became our song when he was going away to university for his first year and we had never spent a day apart from meeting each other so it was a big deal. I don't think it's suitable for a first dance song, but we got the idea from watching Friends (inspiration from weird places lol) when we heard the song playing when Monica and Chandler were getting married playing in the background. So I think that is what we are going to do!
I think we should do something like this..... (sorry the video quality is rubbish but its the best one I could find!)
I'm really not sure what first dance song we should have... it's difficult because Everlong is our song to find something else that you love as much will be hard, and not be too depressing and also have relevant lyrics. I think it is best for us to both write down songs that we like or think are relevant and then choose....
So here it goes....
Faithfully - Journey
Open Arms - Journey
Better Together - Jack Johnson
Baby, it's fact - Hellogoodbye
Somebody to love - Queen
Who loves you - Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
(Mental block, that's all I can think of at the moment but will update soon!)
