I was asked in January if I would help to make someone\u2019s wedding dream happen\u2026<\/p>\n
A couple of bridesmaid dresses\u2026well three\u2026.I was told.\u00a0 Ok so we went with mum and bride-to-be on a shopping trip to Nottingham to suss out colours, styles etc\u2026 oh and eat cake.\u00a0 Cake features very largely in this whole experience and was very welcome and very necessary and tasty of course.<\/p>\n
Right, so Nottingham, not being sure of what they were after and needing some colour inspiration etc, we went to John Lewis\u2026.I have always, always had a look if not bought stuff like patterns, trimmings, and cloth, what a let down, I was shocked to see that in the times of make do and mend, The Great British Sewing Bee, retro, refurb etc they had halved the department and there was very little to tempt us to stay.<\/p>\n
So we went to Nottingham Market next, and wow the colour was perfect, \u2018How many dresses?\u2019 we were asked, I said, \u2018Three\u2019 at the same time as bride-to-be said \u201810\u2019<\/span>, \u2026.ok, step back, slightly surprised, lets think about this a bit\u2026, how much fabric\u2026 there was no way I would allow her to buy that day, this needed careful planning to create a lovely vision for a dream day.\u00a0 We ate cake, mum took lots of pics and we went home.<\/p>\n Lots of cake arrived the next day, chocolate mmmmmm\u2026\u00a0 it was needed.<\/p>\n
