.andi + jarrett, i love you

.Love is a funny thing. Sometimes it grows gradually and sometimes it is instant. When I saw Andi + Jarrett's wedding on 100 Layer Cake this week my heart skipped a massive beat. It was total and utter love in an instant. Let me take you though the reasons why:

.Bride wearing the same wedding dress as me, 'Faun' by Temperley London (mine is dove gray) - check!

.Bride, like me, opting for vintage fur bolero at summer wedding - check!

.Vintage sparkly bag (I am not even sure when I am going to carry mine but I have one anyway) - check!

.Hip, non-ugly bridally, shoes (she wore YSL, I have silver Louboutins) - check!

.Super chilled getting ready vibe - check!

.The amazingly talented one and only Max Wanger, my absolute favourite US based wedding snapper, to cover the day - check!

.Attention to detail - check!
Note: the fur stole doing its thing on a hot summers day. I am feeling less silly about mine now - it is going to look chic like Andi's (*crosses fingers and hopes!)

.Groomsmen in bow ties! I would so do this if I was in charge of our boys - alas I am not.

.Beautifully mis-matched, yet matching bridesmaids - check!

.Personalised wedding ceremony - check!

.Sartorially exceptional guests - check!

.1920s diamond ring (mine is 1920s Viennese Art Deco) - check!

.Famous friends to play music at your reception - check!

.Bride changing into amazing dress for the reception/dancing - check!

.To my dismay, this seems to have been deemed my most controversial wedding decision so far. I don't care how silly it sounds, I am having two dresses!

.Initially it was going to be a gorgeous Kenzo dress from work but I was not in the office on the sample sale day and lost out (I speak of samples because I am a fashion PR - I figured one of you MIGHT have been interested). So now it is going to be an original 1950s dress I found in Vienna for 2 Euros - yes, really, TWO Euros!

.Dancing the night away to great (non-cheesy) music - check!

.Seriously, this wedding, what's not to love?
