Magic Mushroom

Yesterday, we attended the wedding of some friends, one of whom used to be CBC's house-mate.  We remember when they got together and it has been lovely to see their relationship develop from meeting on-line to getting married.  Curiously, we live in their old house.  They moved out into their new house last summer and we took over a week later after our honeymoon!

As with a wedding, what does one wear?  I decided a while back, since it was an Autumn wedding, I would wear my Poppy England Grace dress worn with a petticoat.

I decided to pick out the tiny bit of red in the dress and wore my ruby slippers and an ASOS red spot pillbox hat.  My husband was VERY insulting about this choice of millinery and told me I looked like Super Mario's mushroom friend! Fine, thanks!




My handsome husband wore a lovely wool Next suit  with his groom's waistcoat and a super paisley tie from Coe's in Maldon.


He bought himself an Autumn buttonhole from the florists which made us laugh as there was one thistle too many! Any time I tried to hug him, I got spiked in the chest!

We've had a few things to do with the wedding. We helped try lots of prosecco in order to choose this.  In addition, I leant them a series of items including wedding umbrella, camera tripod, hats and accessories for a photo booth and I helped making the table names- well, I worked with a Sharpie to write them anyway! Behold my handwriting....

The hats were strewn all around the place by the end of the evening and there were some funny moments on the dance floor with them.

The food was delicious and what was amazing was that we were served a trio of desserts:
Eton Mess, Chocolate brownie, Apple crumble plus ice-creams and a large chocolate slab!


The whole day was chilled and relaxed and the bride looked utterly beautiful!

Hope all is well with you.

I'm pretty sure Hat Attack is coming up soon so linking with the beautiful hat Queen, Style Crone.
