H is for ...

Before the A-Z a heads-up for the 15th Free "Dear Lucky Agent" Contest. As this time it's for YA then I had to submit didn't I? But ends today, so if you're thinking of applying, scoot on over to the link - after you've read the rest of today's blog post of course :)


Hair - I'm doing it myself, can't see the point of spending a fortune when I know better than anyone what my hair can and cannot do! When Jeff and I got married I had a trial run the week before the wedding. The hairdresser used brand new rollers - the type that stay put without clips? She didn't take into account how thick my hair was, took her over an hour and several cups of tea, to get the fricking things all out again! I just need to practice to work out how to get the style I want.

Headdresses - Have headwear for me, Ella, 3 oldsmaids and the 2 flower girls - all for £62, not bad :) Thanks to sales, preloved (yeah, okay second hand, but doesn't it sound nicer!) and a car boot fair.

Hanging Decorations - Bunting already covered. Also, there's a photo under 'D' which shows ...

• 100 m fairy lights
• 50m crystal glass - not cheap acrylic - strands
• 110m white organza
• Honeycomb lanterns
• Paper lanterns
• And 50 artificial wisteria each measuring 3' 

I got nearly all the above from AliExpress (didn't want to buy the electric lights from abroad in case the voltage/sockets were a problem) for £204.77!! What I also like is that they AE works as a middle man, so they hold your money until you sign for the goods. No fear of 'lost in transit' and all the hassle that goes with getting your money back :)

Note to self, must make sure we have enough blutack and fishing line! Any guesses for the look we're going for? Well, when I say we, it's my vision, Jeff just nods and says "And how do you expect me to do that?" We both know he'll suss it :)
