This morning me and my sister went to see the Tiara lady we met at the Wallaceville House wedding show a zillion months ago. She works out of a room in her house in Papakowhai and has a very friendly burmese cat.
Sister-girl tried on a myriad of different tiaras and chose a rather theatrical/ballet style crown with loops of silver and diamantes and pearls. Lovely.
I am getting a custom made comb with clear and turquoise crystals and she's going to see if she can get pearl beads to match my necklace and add a few of those too. I'm not sure if I need earrings as well as a tiara and choker but she's going to have a look at what she can find and make something up. If I don't like it, I don't have to buy it!
She had so much lovely jewellery there, I was also tempted by a gold wire and pearl hair pin in the shape of a butterfly and there were some very sweet crystal flower pins too. It's hard to choose just one tiara when the whole range is gorgeous but I knew I wanted crystals and I prefer the security of the combs. Crown shape tiaras feel like they might slip off at any time!
My sister was very pleased to have something sorted for her wedding! She is getting custom made necklace and earrings to match the tiara so we'll both be hearing back from the tiara lady soon.
Next is wedding shoes: I have seen two pairs of shoes I like in town, and one in Porirua (although is probably in town too.) Two pairs are pink and the third is old gold. I am thinking about the pink ones. They are on sale for $70...
I bought some other shoes today which were on sale for $30. They are a black leather court with a kitten heel and a cut away butterfly on the toe. The cutaway reveals a butterfly print material underneath. They are from the super-cute Miss Sophie range and I love them very much.
I'll write up what I thought about Sin City soon, but not right now. I'm feeling far too wedding-girly-cutey to talk about Sin City right now.
