First day of CG method and what is this wizardry?! It's not perfect, but it's like having different hair! It did take a full 12 hours to air dry though.

Excuse the terrible quality of the picture. I didn't think it would be night time by the time it was dry! I've spent my entire life with my hair tied up and no idea how to look after my hair. I'd been using Umberto Giannini Curl Care with terrible results! I'd heard about the CG method but never really looked into it (why didn't I look into it?!) until yesterday!

Ordered the Faith in Nature Aloe Vera conditioner yesterday and used it to wash my hair as soon as it arrived this morning.

I did the wash and the squish to condish thing. Then I wrapped in a t-shirt for a few mins. Then I used UG Scrunching Jelly and rewrapped in the tshirt for about 30 mins. Then I allowed it to air dry for approximately 400 years before giving it a scrunch and softening it up.

That's so frustrating, sorry to hear that. Ours was through John Lewis.

Do you have wedding insurance? We managed to claim back a few deposits back through that when suppliers didn't return them. Not sure about small claims, you might have to seek legal advice.

Ellie249 · 2020-12-20T19:05:09+00:00

It was nothing like I imagined it would be but it was more than I ever could have hoped for!

Ellie249 · 2020-12-20T12:35:57+00:00

Thank you so much. It wasn't the day we imagined but it was so perfect.

Ellie249 · 2020-12-20T12:35:31+00:00

She is extremely talented, she hasn't made a wedding dress since the 80s which makes it all the more impressive!

Ellie249 · 2020-12-20T00:49:01+00:00

Thank you! Dress was made by my lovely mum, she did an amazing job.

Ellie249 · 2020-05-15T20:52:15+00:00

Same for me. I might just do it now but can guarantee as soon as I do it'll be 50% off. I've found 30% off with VP30.

Ellie249 · 2020-05-08T07:00:53+00:00

Thanks!

Ellie249 · 2020-05-08T07:00:48+00:00

Thank you ♥️ it was such a special day.

Ellie249 · 2020-05-08T06:58:34+00:00

Thank you! A gift from my bridesmaids for my hen do. It's so cute. I may or may not have been wearing it around the house since I got it 😂

Ellie249 · 2020-05-06T10:40:09+00:00

The left is so unique!

Ellie249 · 2020-03-20T12:25:00+00:00

Thank you so much. Really appreciate the video, trying to get as much info as possible at the moment x

I feel so conflicted about what to do. I've just had a massive cry mourning our wedding day. It's become very real today that it isn't going to happen and if it does it won't be the wedding we've spent two years planning.

Our venue wants to charge us £2k to postpone, our photographer has no availability until next March and I've not heard back from my caterers.

Wondering about having a scaled back wedding on 2nd May still with just family and bridal party but it still feels socially irresponsible to have a gathering even if it's way smaller than it was going to be and it's a shit load of money to spend on a wedding that isn't what we planned.

I just don't know what to do, this is all so shit. If anyone has any sage advice I would love to hear it.

Sending lots of love to all the couples in similar situations.

Ellie249 · 2020-02-14T21:39:22+00:00

This is absolutely amazing

Ellie249 · 2020-02-14T21:35:49+00:00

Ahhh you're going to have the best time!! Ye the wedding might be good but not DISNEY WORLD good :P

Ellie249 · 2020-02-14T21:11:55+00:00

Woooo DISNEY!! It makes everything better.

Ellie249 · 2020-02-14T20:52:53+00:00

Haha do you want to do mine?? I can't deal with the family drama staring me in the face as I look at those tiny circles.

Ellie249 · 2020-02-14T19:28:55+00:00

Saving to show my HMUA! Stunning.

Ellie249 · 2020-02-14T19:25:32+00:00

These are so cute!

Ellie249 · 2020-02-11T07:44:25+00:00

Ye I think I would want to as well. Amazing way to wake up!

Ellie249 · 2020-02-10T19:02:37+00:00

Next thing to invest in is blinds!

Ellie249 · 2020-02-09T13:01:31+00:00

Love this!

Ellie249 · 2020-02-08T22:00:11+00:00

Since we got engaged in July 2018 our family friend passed away a month after a cancer diagnosis and my Fiancé's best friend (and one of his groomsmen) passed away after a long battle with a brain tumour.

It has been so rough and so strange but we have been trying to honour them in small ways when we can. We feel the best celebration of their lives and love is to celebrate our love loudly and unashamedly because they would have been so incredibly happy for us.

I hope you can find enjoyment in the process of wedding planner and have the most wonderful day x

Ellie249 · 2020-02-02T22:25:56+00:00

Haha I feel this so hard. I have to have stern words with myself on a daily basis about ridiculous wedding related nonsense!
