It's been quite a while since I last updated this blog and back then it was more about my shop news and info. As I now have a news page on my bridal website (http://www.jdezire.co.uk/blog/ if anyone fancies a look) I have decided to make this my personal blog about all the things I love, planning our wedding and general life on the farm.
So far today along with eating golden syrup pancakes with golden syrup on top (can you tell I've not yet started the wedding diet lol) Along with my mum’s help I've picked a few hymns I'd love at our wedding.
I found this fab website with some popular wedding hymns with little previews of each one - http://www.yourchurchwedding.org/hymns-media-player.aspx
It’s really handy as I can never remember the hymn just from the name apart from a few well known ones. I’m really looking forward to playing the ones I’ve picked to my fiancé Richard and I’m sure he will love them too.

Relaxing Wedding Dress Shopping
The thought of finding your wedding dress can be an exciting yet stressful one but finding your gorgeous wedding dress can be a relaxing and enjoyable experience by taking a few simple steps.
Tip #1 - Making the Appointment.
Before you make an appointment decide on who you would like to take wedding dress shopping with you. I would advise to bring 1 or 2 people with you whose opinions you trust and you know will help you make the right choice. If you bring lots of people with you it can become very confusing as everyone will have different opinions and tastes. At the end of the day it is 'Your Dress' and you should choose it because #1 You love it #2 It makes you feel happy and confident #3 It suits you. Not because your friend prefers big tulle skirts and you love a sleek beaded number. Also by not taking too many people shopping with you it leaves your dress as a special surprise for your wedding day.
Once you know who you would like to help you choose your gown you can then arrange an appointment to try wedding dresses on a date that you know you will all be able to attend. By making an appointment at Jdezire you know you will have the entire boutique to yourself so you can really enjoy choosing your gown.
Tip #2 - Allow plenty of time.
Allowing enough time is very important to ensure your bridal experience is a relaxing and enjoyable one. It is best to start looking for your wedding dress a year before your wedding as some wedding dresses can take 6-8months for delivery. Just consider how upset you would be to find your perfect wedding dress only to find out that you cannot order it in time for your wedding, or the added stress of ordering on a tight schedule.
It is not just delivery you need to account for either as many gowns will require some alterations to ensure a perfect fit and wedding dress alterations are time consuming so plenty of time needs to be included for these.
Tip #3 - Finding 'the One'.
Some people may tell you to try as many wedding dresses as you can but the problem with trying on lots of gowns is that it tends to leave you confused and can make it difficult to remember the dresses you really liked from those that weren't quite right. There are hundreds of beautiful dresses out there but you only have to find one. And you will just know when it is 'The One'. You may even fall in love with the first wedding dress you try on and there is nothing wrong with this. Once you have found your dress stop looking at dresses as not to confuse yourself at a later date.
The best tip however is to relax, pick the shop you want to visit, make your appointment and go and enjoy your choosing your gown.

Purple Glamour Theme
If you are imagining a glamorous wedding day why not choose a stunning deep Caburys purple for your bridesmaids. This colour works equally well in soft chiffons as sumptuous satins and suits lots of different skin tones.
Both of these stunning bridesmaids dresses are by Dessy.
