Time is All you Need

Giambattista Valli Spring 2012 Couture

I remember last January my search began for the Wedding Dress and by this time last year I had the banquet hall and church booked. Looking back in hindsight I think I should have given myself more than a year to prepare but I really wouldn't have changed much about the Big Day! It was really a matter of time management...I will be sharing with you more details I promise but without the actual images from the photographer not much at the moment to visually post. Professional pictures take up to 14 weeks after the wedding to get, each picture is edited. So imagine more than 500 images retouched? Whew!
For a little wardrobe inspirations the Couture Fashion Shows are always a delight to look at and here are just a few lovely images.

Shoe shopping in London

If you remember back in March I {thought} I found my heels for the big day...however they were purchased before I had found my dress and the reality is they don't exactly match with the style of my dress. So, I'm back to heel hunting!
Recently in London I went to Harrods in hopes of finding heels...but either heels are way too high {what's up with that?} or too low as in "only Aunt Hilda would buy that low of a kitten heel". And of course way to expense, seriously who buys heels for close to $1000? Not a bride on a budget, yes even one that has gone above her initial estimate.
