Out with the old, in with the new... name that is :-)

Hello!

Well, here I am typing my first blog as Mrs Brown... wedding and honeymoon done, and we're returning to a touch of normality.

I'll get a page up on my website soon, but in the meantime, I thought I'd share just a few piccies with you. I've also popped down the names of the fab folks who helped make our day so amazing. We had such an amazing time... everything went perfectly. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

Enjoy the piccies,

Three weeks to go...

Greetings, on what is actually a gorgeous day!

Well, I have three weeks to go until my big day. Time to start crossing off those last minute things to do... if only I was getting them done!

This afternoon is dedicated to the creating of my tiara. It's going to be a silver plated number with a mix of Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls. I'll post a piccie once it's made. I might even include a little blue crystal as my something blue. Hmmm...

That's something else I still need to do... my something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. A friend has suggested a shout out to all my facebook friends to help. I might give that a try! Like my Facebook page, and post your ideas for me to check out.

Right... best get on with my tiara. But before I go, as we all know, there is another wedding taking place in April which is getting a lot of media attention (and has gained us an extra bank holiday - hurrah!) - the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. Even better than the bank holiday though, is this fantastic knitted scene! Check it out at Creative & Faithful's blog! I love it - I want one - if only for the corgis!

Anyway, until next time, take care,
