My fiance, Wayne and I got engaged last month on 10th April in the Yarra Valley, Vic, at Domain Chandon.  It was simple and romantic which was perfect for me.

So now I’m finding out just how much work all you brides are going through!  We’re having a fairly quick engagement as we’re getting married on 25 July this year.  Even though our wedding is going to be very small (around 20 people) and I’ve been in the bridal industry for a long time it’s still amazing how much there is to do.  We are getting married on the Gold Coast as it will be much warmer than Melbourne being the middle of winter so that means a bit of extra organizing being so far from home. 

I booked our honeymoon this week to Phuket – so excited about that since neither of us have been to any part of Asia.  I bought my dress a while ago, a Charlie Brown full length cream dress, gathered across the bust and then silk georgette ruffles all the way to the ground.  To add some extra detail though, I’m going to add beautiful lace panel through the middle of the dress, purchased from The House of Franke Stuart, which means at the moment the dress is in a few pieces (eek!).

As for my bridal jewellery, I’ve only just come up with an idea of what I want this week – I’m going to design a new hair piece a little smaller than my BH-320 Emma Bridal Hair Piece to sit on the side and back of my hair and then design a new pair of bridal earrings to match.  I’ll post wedding pics once I have them!
