I cannot believe how quickly Amy's wedding day has come around. With 1 month to go Amy bagged herself a new job, decided to replace their kitchen and has THE dress. Eeekk. Thank you Amy xo Lou

Hello lovelies! How are you all coping in this scorchio weather? I'm sure I'm going to rub a few of you up the wrong way here by being a typical Brit, but I can't stand it! I know I know what you're all screaming at your screens 'how can you not love this glorious hot weather, when the rest of the time the country is shrouded in a dark cloud of cold rainy misery?!' Don't get me wrong, I love me some sunshine, but it gets to a point (around 24°C) where my pale skin starts to get all flustered and just can't deal with the rising temperature. So yeah I have basically been a hermit these past couple of weeks, locking myself away in lovely air conditioned sanctuary. I'm getting married in summer why? Haha!

Ok so we're under the 2 month mark now, 30 days people! Which means that we are well and truly all systems go, with the invoices trickling in week by week - it's great arranging all of these lovely things, not so great when the bill comes! So yeah we're powering through our to do list, feeling pretty chilled about everything at the moment, perhaps feeling a little too chilled..... we've signed up to have a new kitchen fitted...... the week before the wedding!

Our house is a new build, there was a couple who were meant to buy the house before us but they had to back out, therefore they chose everything and we had to like it or find another house. Everything in the house is lovely enough, but the kitchen, let's just say it's not what we would have chosen. So I've pretty much grumbled at Ashley from the day we moved in about getting the kitchen changed, and a few weeks ago he finally caved! Off we trotted to B&Q, we came up with a gorgeous design that got us all excited, and then they said they couldn't install until mid-August. Bit of a bummer. So we had to decide, do we put a load of stress and pressure on ourselves only days from our wedding, or do we put off our little project until we get back off our honeymoon. Well of course the impatient little buggers that we are went for the former.....we are seriously crazy, wish us luck!

On top of all that I've gone and got myself a swanky new job, you know because I felt there wasn't enough stress in my life at the moment. I jest of course, this is a really good career move for me, it's just unfortunate that the pressure of making a new start has come so soon before we get married.

And finally guys, I have the dress! My dress is something that I've kept well and truly under wraps, not even mentioned until now, and I'm still not going to spoil the surprise for you all. I found my beautiful gown at The White Room in Sheffield - when I began browsing for bridal boutiques a friend mentioned where she was getting her dress from, highly recommending them, so I had a little look and after around 5 mins of scrolling I deduced there was nowhere else I needed to consider.

My dress is certainly not what I imagined I would go for, for starters I didn't know I could wear such a dress, as my figure can be very difficult! I went in pretty convinced that I would walk away with an all lace form fitting dress, but I was still very open to trying on lots of other lovely gowns! Just like I thought the fitted lace dress was a winner, it made my waist look INSANE, honestly at that point I wished I could wear a corset all the time. But of course the wonderful Georgia at White Room saved the best for last, she put me in a dress that was very far from the structured lace gown I was so determined I wanted, I wasn't even out of the fitting room before I was screaming 'THIS IS THE ONE, THIS IS THE ONE!!' I had my first fitting the other day, and after some serious concerns that I may have gained so much weight it wouldn't zip up, I was super relieved to be told that it needs to be taken in ever so slightly. God gifted/cursed me with a little too much in the boob department, this is a part of me that I'm very self-conscious about, and due to the style of my dress makes me very nervous. The lovely ladies at White Room have reassured me that I have nothing to worry about, but I don't think I'll feel truly happy about it until I've had my little chat with the seamstress next week. Fingers crossed!
