Seeing my wedding dress and reception dress together!

Twas a big weekend this one that just passed. Both on the wedding and the preparation of our new home front.

Saturday was mainly dedicated to my two dresses. I went to pick up my wedding dress and reception dress! The Wedding dress was ordered to the size of my bum which means it is too big for the bust and waist area. Look at what it looks like laced up at the moment! Shame! But no worries... we’re getting that taken in so I can’t wait for another 4 weeks to go back and try it on again.

We also bought the groomsmen ties... I can’t believe we managed to find the exact colour material and they have been sent off to get business ties made! What were the chances?

Also... this has been the big moment that we had been waiting for...the reception dress post alterations! It sits so much better on my hips now and the tulle looks like it was part of the original dress!

On the Sunday, we dedicated it to painting the house and taking down the thorny bougainvillea bush in the front. My hands are a little worse of wear for that, but look at the difference we’ve made to the place so far! We are really looking forward to living in here... but the war zone has only just begun!
