I was genuinely going to post earlier about how my current candle is so low, that I can only light one wick, and then have to tilt the candle so that the flame lights the other one. Then I realised how boring that would be so didn't.
Oh wait ....
Went fabric shopping today. Brought some tulle. The one that we had originally wanted was silk, soft, beautiful and cost over £35 a metre. Bearing in mind I need a bare minimum of 10 metres, you can probably see why I have been freaking out so much lately. But anyway, I found some polyester, not so soft and not so beautiful tulle in town that cost £3.99 a metre, which is considerably more affordable. To be honest, it's probably only me that would be able to tell the difference. It's still soft, and the same density and colour, and at that price I could get the preferred 15 metres .... but it does feel like polyester.
So things are finally moving. I have the tulle and lining, and Jo has promised to decide on the satin on Sunday to order them on Monday. The bridesmaids are on the back burner at the moment. We're weighing up our options, as we've struggled to find the colours and at the moment are looking at £150 minimum per dress. Which is ridiculous. But it's not like the bridesmaids are important. We can wear brought dresses if its cheaper.
As long as the bride gets what she wants, nothing else matters really. I'm just so relieved to finally have the ball rolling.
