A dinner and a few sips of some red wine I have now decided to go with yet another Carrie dress for the wedding next month. I even found it for sale.. for a mere $325! It is a Halston Heritage dress.
I think I will be going to JoAnn's or if I am lucky I might have time to go to NYC and Mood next week to find a good fabric.
So this will be the dress - I have no pattern but I think I should be able to figure it out...
Color, not sure.. blue is in my head right now. It will not be peach... peach is just not my color
Going to a wedding in about one month and I have NO idea what I am going to ware. It is a very traditional catholic wedding, if anyone can give me some tips. See the only real wedding I have been to as been my own wedding and since that wedding was a backyard wedding / BBQ / Pool Party - there was no really dress code. People came the way they felt like, some in dresses and some in shorts and t-shirts.
But this one is FORMAL. I have really no clue what to ware. I have a black dress in the closet, but I am afraid I can't ware it anymore, and also questioning if it is a bit too short?!
And I watched the Sex and the City 2 Movie just a few days ago and I am absolutely obsessed with two of Carrie's outfits:
Are any of them appropriate for a formal wedding???
I especially LOVE the purple dress from the scene at the spice market...
Advice?
Finally - our Princess finally got her Prince!
Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria got married on June 19 with her Daniel and I just wanted to share some pictures with you all as this is big in Sweden. I bet at least 50% of all people were following the whole thing on TV from beginning til end.

The summer of 2008 about one month after my own wedding - my best friend comes to NYC to get married in the Swedish church on 48th st between 5th and Madison. My husband and I get to act as maid of honor/best man and witnesses since they left home without telling anyone they were going to get married. I off course knew since I had to make her dress before I left for my new life in the states. Unfortunately the top I made for her became too big as she lost weight on the LCHF method I told her to use for fast results.
So for this one, I am only to blame for the skirt ;) (and flowers)
As I am waiting and putting together some odds and ends here and there I figured I could update my portfolio a little bit too. Here are some pictures from my wedding - a truly home made wedding. Without sounding like a version of Martha Stuart, I was trying to keep costs down as I had just moved to the US and immigration and visa application was expensive to us at the time, I ended up making a lot of it myself. Wedding favors, dessert, wedding cake, flowers, decoration, wedding dress, and brides maids dresses... it was a perfect day and looking back I wouldn't have changed anything, besides for that I was missing many of my family and friends.
