GRRRR. <BR/><BR/>I think, in toto, our wedding cost less than $5K (including honeymoon at Kingfisher Bay, Fraser Island): ceremony was in a friend's rainforesty backyard, reception was at our stalwart family restaurant (where parents know the owners, etc), dress was negligible and S. rented his tux, cousin gave us a wedding present of a night in a Sheraton Towers suite before we left for our honeymoon, mother and aunts did flowers and cake, we made our own invites... :P <BR/><BR/>All in all, I had a very good time - obligatory noxious relatives aside - and it was exactly as we wanted it.Tseenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17471093825705624393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15851934.post-1147653564312200082006-05-15T10:39:00.000+10:002006-05-15T10:39:00.000+10:00Oh no, Tseen, you sound like just the right person...Oh no, Tseen, you sound like just the right person to consult, the less fuss the better.

I did buy a nice V-neck sweater type thing which has a row of about six buttons on each cuff, which will sort of give me a classy glove effect, won't it? I decided to buy it to go with a very severely wide-box pleated skirt that I already owned. <BR/><BR/>I bought a new pair of shoes as well (on sale!) to set off the outfit. <BR/><BR/>I'm not too good at accessorising. I am wearing a pair of sparkly blue stone earrings that were a graduation gift, so they're a bit spesh, but quite minimalist.Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035268080440921379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15851934.post-1147312745394438412006-05-11T11:59:00.000+10:002006-05-11T11:59:00.000+10:00I suggest long, full trousers in a fancy fabric. M...I suggest long, full trousers in a fancy fabric. Matched with a nice blouse and some serious jewellry... well, that's what I'd wear. Gets me through most things... Actually, I'm still wearing dresses over trousers because I love the tunic/trousers combination (heck, call me so 5 years ago, I don't care). BUT you can match satiny PJ pants with a proper dress/blouse/tunic and pull off casual-spesh wedding wear. So long as you accessorise appropriately.<BR/><BR/>And it's autumn: scarves are <I>de rigeur</I>... or is that just in Melbourne? I'm thinking flowy, pretty scarves anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15851934.post-1147309314931188942006-05-11T11:01:00.000+10:002006-05-11T11:01:00.000+10:00I have invested in two pairs of gloves, and I tell...I have invested in two pairs of gloves, and I tell you, put on a pair of gloves and you are Dressed Up. Also, if you go for the keep it simple principle, you can find reasonably priced, even cheap, gloves. A cream pair that come to the elbows might be the thing for an afternoon wedding. <BR/><BR/>Not to divert you from the pillow, because yes, you do deserve a new pillow, but that $50 at David Jones would probably get you a decent pair.ThirdCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961559066632251691noreply@blogger.com
