Apparently this is a thing and i'm not the only one who spends months before the wedding tossing and turning at night dreaming of every last detail falling to pieces.
Last night was particularly bad.
For some reason I dreamed that I had 2 page boys (who knows where the other one came from?? I only have one son, and I'm sure as heck not having any more babies??!!)
And for some reason, when their suits arrived, they weren't proper waistcoats and trouser suits, they were onesies with a suit PRINTED on them!!!!
They looked awful, and one was too big, so I tried to take it back to the store to swap it for a smaller size, (baring in mind this was all happening on the morning of the wedding while I was supposed to be getting hair/makeup etc done) but the store didn't have any left in the right size, so I tried to find some grey ties to go with them, but the only grey ties they had were charcoal with silver glitter all over them! uhhh....I dunno about you, but that doesn't sound very manly!
The groomsman suits hire booking was double booked so they had no suits, and I forgot to order my flowers!!!
Oh my lordy lord, I woke up hot and soaked in stressed out sweat! gross!
Pfft as if I'd ever forget to order the flowers lol.
Speaking of which, after spending the last 6 months changing my mind on an almost daily basis about which flowers I want to have.
I just discovered that we can in fact get (commercial standard) David Austin garden roses here in NZ, though it is a fairly recent thing. SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!!! I've spent the last 2 days researching pictures of the 3 varieties of David Austin roses we can get, and trying to decide which ones I want to order.
And the contenders are
Juliette
Oh my life, isn't she delicious???? Just you wait until you see her in a bouquet!...
Like seriously, that is florist porn right there!! I'm in floral heaven looking at these!
Next up is the lovely Keira
Sooo pretty! She's the perfect colour to match my bridesmaids dresses, but I'm so in love with the Juliette, I want both. *sigh*
And then you see her in an arrangement and its just, ohhhhh sooooooooo lovely!
How am I ever going to decide???? Honestly!
Lastly we have Patience
Below you can see how nicely they fit in with any colours to break it up a bit. So beautiful!
Patience I will be ordering regardless of whether I go with Juliette or Keria, as she's a creamy colour she will work well with either Juliette OR Keria as a nice contrast. She also smells heavenly, major bonus in a bridal bouquet. How often do you get scented roses at commercial quality??
I got up super early this morning after a full nights sleep (finally our little boy has started treating us to the occasional full night's sleep, he's nearly 1 so its a bout blimmon time!!) and both my kidlettes are up and about now, so I must be off!
Oh you have no idea how excited I am to make these bouquets! They're gonna be so lovely no matter which flowers we end up choosing. Can't wait to to share the photos with you after the wedding.
For now get into your floral mojo and stay beautiful! x
