Ooh, Suits You Sir

I talked a bit in my last post about how we looked mostly at suits at the National Wedding Show at the beginning of the month.  Anyway, a few Google Image searches later, and this is what I've come up with.  Grey suits are pretty versatile, they go with most colours and aren't as 'formal' as black suits.  As we're having a purple and lime green colour scheme, Andy decided early on he wanted a grey suit.

See, look how perfect grey and lime green go together.  That said, I think Andy has already categorically stated he's not having a green tie!!

But lookey what else I found - James Bond (s) in grey suits:

Hello!  See, look how totally smart grey suits look (okay, the fact that it's Daniel Craig in said suit might help, but you get the picture!)

Another Bond (Can I just point out, I don't have a Bond fantasy....)

Of course, the Americans seem to do stylish weddings a bit better than we Brits.  Why is that?  Different kind of light?!

And not forgetting our Page Boy.  I think we're quite looking forward to H, one of Scarlett's oldest friends (no, not him from Steps!) walking down the aisle with Sca.  I found this picture, which is a quite nice little suit, but it had to be posted, purely for the kids face in the picture!

In other brief news, I was the very lucky winner of a competition on the Boho Wedding blog.  I've won a Hen Party Shoot, where the wonderful photographer, Celine Chaplin, will accompany us on our night out and photograph the whole thing!  How exciting is that?!  Better make it a good one!!

The Barn in Full Bloom

Not really much explanation for this photos, but wanted to share what the venue looks like in the summer - Bloody Gorgeous!  It was set up for a wedding that day so it was interesting to see it laid out and not just empty.  Looked really different.  They've had a new drive laid and the grass was all lovely and soft and green.  The lake looked a bit manky so we might rethink our reception drinks idea and have it in the small rose garden instead or perhaps in a marquee.  The marquee shown in the pictures is not the one we'll hire - it was plastic - but the guy who owns the barn said he has contacts with a company who do a nice canvas one so we'll get in touch with him for that.

So anyway, here's some of the piccies:

Manky Lake - No, the swan isn't dead, just fishing for god knows what!!
