2015 brides!

nosietoes

My dress is short too so ended up with ridiculously expensive but gorgeous coral pink peep toe shoes... On the hunt for nice pony hair leopard print flats but really don't want to pay shoesofprey prices for my 2nd pair of shoes... But we'll see what happens... Still have 15 1/2 weeks to go...

fits

My shoes are cream. There was a big mix up- I ordered ivory but got cream and they are lovely and were very reasonable. But now i think i want gold shoes!!! Argh. They are chie mihara.

I have wonky feet (bunions on both, size 7.5/8) and can't wear heels so my shoe selection was seriously limited :-( I got a pair in Clarkes, closed toe, low heel, cream leather. A school teacher would wear them to work for sure!! :-( I feel hard done by but what can u do. Haven't got my flip flops/flats yet

Milly33

I don't know how the ladies do heels... Even the lingo and names being mentioned here im like mmm.. Whats pony hair? Is it like it says...

Take a look at ecos or sketchers even you might be able to get a nice snasssy pair of cozy shoes but funky ones.. Could get those 5 toes shoes hahah they are great. I love the looks you get from people when you are wearing them

fits

My heels are 7 cm so not so high. I couldnt go higher than that.

Pistachios & cream

I have 3 pairs of shoes! My fiancee bought me a pair for my sisters weding a couple of years ago. I couldn't afford the mat the time and he asked if i really wanted them!!! They are dune vivian. However i'm a bit taller than him in them so i have a lower pair for when we head off for photos and the first dance. They are dune decra. Then i have a pair of wedges for dancing later on. Also from dune they are the cream ones of these

My dress has no train so can't be bustled and i didn't want it sweeping the floor for the night so wedges seemed the best option.

I think i'll be changing shoes all day though!

Similar here, 8cm heels for me and I still bought flats for the evening as well. Bridesmaids are in 15cm heels, I'm going to look tiny!

Someone drove through a red light and into himself's car this morning. He is fine, the car isn't. Puts my shoe troubles into context.

^ Sorry to hear that, that's crap Glad he's ok though!

fits

Well I think he got a bad fright, as you would. But yeah very glad he wasn't hurt.

I have a feeling we might have to change the car too, something we hadn't planned on! my jalopy isn't really suitable for commuting.

Glad he's ok fits, I'm sure he got some fright. But at least no serious injuries

There is always something when you're trying to save.
Will he be able to claim off the other person's insurance?

That is brilliant, great idea!

Pistachios & cream

I'm glad he's ok and hopefully the insurance will work out.

tread_softly

That's horrible fits, glad he's ok.

The honker on my chin has gone down loads already thank feck.

Booked in to get my nails and wax done next week, can't believe the big day is next Saturday!!! Fingers crossed the weather stays the way it has been.

I can't wait to put on my fab dress and marry the man of my dreams

Haha, vom inducing or what

kildareash

Been googling wedding make up and hair looks to go with the style of my dress this morn.

I am loving this bit!

I've asked a few friends and got some recommendations for new MUA's. Going to have another trial with a different girl and see how I get on.

I don't wear make up day to day, and I'm not great at doing bold eyes or eyeliner, but I love the look. I'm always watching make up video's on you tube. So that's what I'm going to try this time. Have some pics of what I like. If I don't like it, I can always get her to do another more natural look next time.

Milly33

Hope the hubbie to be is over the shock fits...

The more I read the stories about makeup and shoes the more im like mmmm I am so missing the female gene me thinks or just that part of the brain or brian as I like to call him....

think I am just about going to try out some tan and that's it.. The only thing id love it some glittery or sparkly body powder which they don't seem to do anymore

fits

Was stuck in an airport last week and wandered into victorias secret. They have heaps of sparkly body cream stuff.

Milly33

Just wondered in haha only messing!! Thank you I would never have thought to look there. We don't have one in Cork but I could try online. I remember a few years ago it was everywhere, they had a kind of powers shimmer for your face and then body shimmer but not anymore it is all about the brows and tan

fits

Mostly perfume in the airport ones not much underwear at all.. Its a really weird store tbh.

Milly33

just looking through there website and im like ohhh how does she look like that

bluebell27

It is my hen this weekend and i am bursting with excitement! Only 6 weeks til wedding as well. No idea where the time has gone!

rainbow kirby

I dislike Victoria's Secret - the bras are crap and come in a very narrow size range, and their sparkly glittery crap holds no appeal for me at all.

Milly33

Jes rainbow what did they do to you haha, very harsh.. Yeah I was just browsing the bras there and while they look nice id say they wouldn't hold much up...

Ohhh Bluebell do you know what ye are doing then!

That's the problem! Their bands start too high and their cups don't go high enough for me. Anything I've read on /r/ABraThatFits about them suggests that their bras stretch out really quickly too, which is really annoying.

Milly33

thanks Westernlass not sure who they are but I shall go goggle them

bluebell27

Milly we are going to Edinburgh for the weekend. I am from Scotland and the wedding is in Ireland so decided to have it back home. I have no idea what we are doing but my five bridesmaids have been working very hard on it so I am sure it will be great!

We might run into each other so bluebell, that's where my hens is this weekend

bluebell27

Gosh really.have a wonderful time tread softly. I am a bit biased but Edinburgh is a great city!

Milly33

A trip back home for it, sounds lovely I hope ye have a blast now. With 5 ladies planning I am sure it will be great. Oh I still remember this underground pub we went to in Edinburgh it was great, some random chap dressed as jack sparrow, redbull and vodka €1 or pound and then best characters there... Have a great weekend

But they're so pretty . I saw a gorgeous front closing halter neck bra on their website last night that I really want. There are frequent occasions where I wish I'd never found /r/abrathatfits because then i could have gone on wearing badly fitting, but beautiful bras, blissfully unaware of the fact they were the wrong size! In my real size, bras are all ugly and functional, with very few fun colours or styles.

Happy hen bluebell and tread softly! How exciting!

Milly33

Imagine if ye met over there!! Have a cheers if ye do.

All excited the invites are done yippee, himself is picking them up after work cant wait to see them. Must just sort the menu card and the additional info to go with them and that's it..

Have you seen them yet? Are u happy with them?

Milly33

Yep I have seen then..

They are loverly and a total bargain at €30 for 70 + a few for messing around with...

The are just what we wanted.. I will say that doing up the invites did get a bit im going to kill you if you don't get around to doing it but it was all worth it.. We picked up envelopes in the poundshop and I hand stamped them to pretty them up.. Must just print off the menu card as the caterer would like one, don't fancy them myself and the information leaflet which is more or less done..

On a bad note the heat rash is back with this heat wave we are having, and guess where I get it!! on the hands going have to try and get rid of it before the summer..

Oh no. There is probably no lotions or potions that work on it if it's a heat rash. You'll be the only one praying for a normal irish summer with no heatwave!

We really must get round to designing the invitation. We wanted to do something that incorporated us and our two kids, but their small toddlers so it's proving trickier than I thought to get them to do what I want!
Might try again this weekend.

Milly33

It really is a bit of an ordeal trying to get them (the invites) to work, but once you master one step you will be flying it. Himself used photoshop for most of ours. We have a few vectors if they are any good to you to use.. Something with the kids and family sounds lovely something personal adds a nice touch.

I know this chap Rob Stears does comic work if you wanted something like that, he could do a family portrait..

The heat rash is so annoying, it start like little spots and when it gets bad it looks like elephant hands... Steroid cream and some antihistamine should keep it under control, just have to get non drowsy ones as one sip of wine on them and ill be sleeping

kildareash

Thanks Milly, I know what I want it's just a matter of executing it, I can always make up the kids bit. Know is going to probably even notice the personal bit!

Hope the heat rash goes down quickly.

This time next week I'll be a Mrs!!!!!

Milly33

whooo hope the last week is nice and relaxing enough for you. do you have much left to do

Faith

It's been a while since the last one, but I had a wedding day nightmare last night. This one was that my dress was way too big for me and I'd forgotten to get it altered. Ugh, I hate those nightmares!

Also, it was pure wishful thinking because unless I seriously cop on, my dress is going to have to be let out to get me into it!!

fits

My last nightmare was that everyone was talking over my speech and then the guests all walked out.

fits

I think my hairdresser is going to let me down. Im a long time client but she closed her business recently and is working in another salon... And not returning my calls. I have been trying to book a trial Darn it anyway.

Oh no. That's terrible. That is my worst nightmare. I'm fussy about hairdressers as it is.
Hope you sort it out.

I just wish she'd tell me straight out if she can't do it.
