My Big Fat Welsh Wedding

So this post is essentially going to be a big photo-dump of wedding pictures with a little bit of commentary from me. I'm sticking mostly to pictures of me because this is a fatshion blog after all.

I'm not sure what to do after this. Should I write a post with all my advice for the fat brides of the future or would you all rather I just got back to my regular outfit posts? Let me know in comments!

HERE COME PICS...

This is my dad and I before we left the house. A lot of our neighbours came to wave us off, which was so sweet!

As many of you guessed beforehand, the dress is from the Evans bridal range that came out a couple of years ago. I bought mine brand new from ebay! I showed you the shoes a few months ago, they were a bargain in the Evans post-christmas sale. The shrug is from monsoon. Pretty thrifty as bridal outfits go, but it was perfect for me, especially considering how much dancing I did at the reception.









After the church service, the whole wedding party took the steam train (a local tourist attraction) out into the countryside where the reception happened in a big hotel. It was really fun, I think the guests all enjoyed the train ride.





And I thought I'd finish by showing you our cake:

(yes we definitely did have lego cake toppers - I drew the goatee on lego Luke myself)


I definitely wish more of my dresses had netting coming out of the bottom like that!
Love you guys xxx

  4. Wow, I think I need a cake tree in my life. Or at least in my tummy, nom!

    You look gorgeous and I love the dress, I didn't realise Evans no longer did the bridal range! Maybe they should get on bringing that back.

    I hope your day was everything you wanted and more and I wish you all the happiness in married life! How exciting :)

  26. Not going to lie, the first picture of you and Luke together totally made me tear up. I said it on the last post, but you looked so beautiful! And that cake topper totally makes sense for you two! So very happy for you both.

    Now I just need to survive Amy and Sasha's wedding without going totally wedding-crazy myself. Poor boyfriend won't know what hit him!
