Ahhh bridal content, right up my street😍🙌🏽 Wedding shows are a fabulous place to start but like you say they’re sooo over whelming! And it really is my bug bear when everyone on the runway is teeny tiny (gorgeous but teeny tiny). Ladies need to feel warm and familiar in honour to feel comfortable, and dresses sit differently on different shapes, so they must represent everyone! I’m proud to work in a bridal boutique where we have sizes 0-34.🙌🏽 You can defo live your princess dream if you wish too Brogan, you’d be surprised what you can pack in your hand luggage case! Your shoes are beautiful, you’re going to look beautiful, buzzing for you! Keep as much as you need and want to a secret, it’s your day and your time to cherish forever ♥️
I really enjoyed this video. My partner and I are getting married in Florida in October 2023 and the relief I felt when we decided was so overwhelming I cried. We’re having such a small, intimate wedding and then a 3 week holiday in our favourite place. In terms of the dress I was very anxious after a wedding show due to the size of the models but I tried on a few dresses and ended up with my dream dress. I cost £1500 but as we’re not having a home wedding this is something I wanted to splurge on for myself ❤️. You do you, all that matters is yours and Benji’s happiness! 🥰 all so exciting!
Me and my husband got married in Las Vegas, we're from the UK and honestly it was the best thing we did. We found a really classy Chapel (Chapel of the flowers, no Elvis!!) and I took my wedding dress as hand luggage which I was super conscious about. When we went through security at the airport they carried it through for me instead of having to put it in a grey tub! We flew BA and they offered to hang my dress up in their little wardrobe which was really kind, even if they didn't offer I'd definitely have asked. Make sure you do your day your way! Can't wait for updates I've been binge watching your vlogs, thank you for taking us everywhere with you ❤️
Oh also check out Nadine Merabi, I got my wedding dress from them, something very different!
We had an abroad wedding, which was very personal, intimate and simple. We didn't have a party when we got back, and lots of people had a strong opinion about that. We stuck with our own ideas, and not only saved lots of money, but had the wedding WE wanted. It's so hard not to be influenced by the industry and family and friends. Can't wait to hear about your plans and see your dress xxxxx
I love that so much, you do you!! xxx
I had a similar experience at NEC bridal show - glad I went to experience it but didn’t get much from it! I also have Charlotte Mills shoes for our wedding in April, you’ve just reminded me I need to start wearing them in 🙈😂
The wedding shoes are just beautiful! ❤️👰🏼♀️
Brogan, as a bridal consultant, I packed way larger dresses in to hand luggage bridal boxes than that one! We have our methods & tricks you see?!
All you need to do is make sure there is someone at the resort who is experienced in steaming wedding dresses at the other end!
The Olympia show is more a trade show, where boutiques get choose & order their next collections, but it is good for ideas. Overwhelming though right?! X
The shoes are so beautiful! I’m so here for the journey! 😊
I can’t wait to see you in your chosen dress, I like what your style is, I’m very simple when it comes to dresses x
I didn’t go into a single wedding dress shop when I was looking for my dress. I knew exactly what I wanted so I found a dressmaker who could make it for me. People thought it was actually Vivienne Westwood, and the best thing was that it cost me a fraction of what a traditional dress would have cost!
I absolutely love that!!
Can't wait to hear more details about the wedding! My husband and I eloped (just went to our church and got married just the 2 of us). So I will be living vicariously through you and Benj.
Thank you for sharing yr experience with us xxx😊
Lovely to see some more of your wedding journey :) we didn’t do any wedding shows, as we were pretty confident we knew what we wanted, so spent some speaking to suppliers directly. I think it’s a fab idea you bought your shoes first! It means you can see how your dress sits when you got to try them. I always knew I was going to have converse (ivory with some blue) so I also tried on wedding dress with flat trainers (although one wedding shop was mortified by my decision and tried to make me put heels on 😅)!
so excited for you! I got married in Rome and also had to take my full skirted dress in hand luggage. I had a seamstress fold in with tissue paper between folds to protect it and took it out the second we arrived and it was just perfect! can't wait to hear your plans! 🥰
Loved this! I didn't go wedding dress shopping...I had in my mind what I wanted and I was scrolling through Facebook one day and a boutique hours away from me had posted in a wedding group that they were having a sample sale and the dress they posted was perfect! I messaged them, it was in my size and ONE THOUSAND POUNDS OFF so I paid £220 with postage and they sent it to me, fit like a glove and had so many compliments. So glad I didn't spend loads as now it's in a box under the bed :) can't wait for more wedding content x
The best thing to do is not listen to anyone trying to put you off things and do exactly what you both want for the day. We did it our way and not traditional because we wanted it like that and we’re so glad we did. luckily everything went to plan, it was so nice to see family and friends enjoying the day too as none of us could get together for party’s due to covid. It was a day we all needed 🥰 We had a videographer which was the best, we recently got our wedding video and we’re really happy with it, something we’ll always treasure. Also, I completely agree with the pressure of loosing weight and everything being perfect because that’s what people think it should be like but really it doesn’t matter at all and you feeling beautiful and happy is what it’s about x
Such stunning perfect wedding shoes 😃💖 love those so much 💖 it amazes me that plus size models are still not represented and I can totally relate to that frustration. As a size 16/18 girl I had a terrible experience in a bridal shop when I got married 14 years ago. So much so that I decided to have my dress made just for me. It wasn’t cheap but I had some money for my wedding left to me by my dad and it felt special to be able to say he bought my dress for me rather than the money vanishing into the general spend for the wedding. Am sure everyone is offering this advice but stick with what YOU want for YOUR day 💖💖 it’s all about you and Benji and no one else. So very excited for you and can’t wait to hear more about your plans xxxx
Thank you Joanne, that really is lovely! I appreciate that advice too xxx
@@brogantatexo just so happy for you both 😃❤️❤️
I remember wedding dress shopping for my dress 14 years ago. I was soo excited and knew in my mind what I wanted (poofy, sparkly and all). I tried on 8 dresses and the one I thought I wanted looked awful! To my surprise (and my mums) I went with a simple ivory sleeveless dress with lace all over, straight with a small train at the back and no veil! I am so glad I tried on loads of different options! Remember you have to feel comfy in it all day and allow room for food 😂 the dress you chose on the rack was beautiful. I’m so excited for you ❤
Sounds gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing that :) x
I had a princess dress, I have never worn anything that wonderful before or since ( not a destination wedding). Enjoy absolutely every moment of this Brogan, such a wonderfully exciting time xxx
I love that! Thank you Rach xx
Love love love that rack of dresses you saw, especially the one you picked out as your favorite. Lace. Flowing bottom. Deep v neck. Little sleeves. You can always add sparkle with jewelry. ✨️ Enjoy all the planning!
Thanks Kelly, yes! xx
It defo makes sense to go! Just for the experience, my whole wedding was completely booked and I needed nothing, and my sister, mum and I still went, got the freebies and ended up buying a little bride clutch, the thought is you're only doing this once so do everything that you want 😁
I'm so pleased to hear someone feel similar to me. I actually had a go at a lady on one of the stands as she was selling contact lenses and said "why would you want to wear your clunky glasses on your special day?" And I was so confused. Same as the lack of representation of anyone or any wedding outside of the 'norm'!
Aw Brogan couldn't agree more about the catwalk, huge opportunity missed by then there! I'm definitely a curvy gal and was really worried about dress shopping but ended up absolutely loving my experience. My advice would be don't let anyone sway you from what you really want. You find everyone always says you go in with one idea and choose the opposite, which just didn't happen for me as I knew I wanted something different and definitely long sleeves of some sort which is exactly what I got! Also, please don't be put off by the wedding dress sizes as they are usually around x2 sizes smaller than our usual UK dresses. I remember feeling self conscious about having to order my dress in a 20 as someone who is usually a 14/16 but the amazing assistant reminded me it's just a silly number and the dress is made and then altered even further especially for you ❤️ can't wait to follow along the rest of your wedding journey xx
Oh also!!! Last thing 🤣 GET THE BAG! I feel we are really similar and if you're anything like me you'll want somewhere to keep your lipstick etc and even your phone for a wee selfie of you and Benji 🥰 which is exactly what I did and I did use it, more so at night! Xxx
Oh I love this so much! I worked in a wedding dress shop for years and we used to exhibit at the national wedding show, I miss those days!
I bet that was a lot of work getting organised for the show!! xx
Wedding shopping isn't something I'm going to do, but I loved this video, and am so looking forward more wedding content! Stunning shoes!
Thanks lovely!! xx
When I got married last year (finally thanks to rearranging twice due to you know what) I got my dress from asos plus size and I’ve had nothing but compliments on it :) I never went to a bridal show because I knew I wouldn’t see representation. I also didn’t want to be pressured into a wedding I didn’t want. My wedding was less than 30 people and was very family orientated - this is making me want to have another day haha :)
I absolutely am on board for this!! You have to follow your gut and do what YOU want xx
Love your shoes and the sixpence detail is so sweet , as you want a little sparkle in your dress they are going to be perfect XX
Thank you Rachael! xx
I went to this show when I was wedding planning and felt exactly the same as you. I tried on one dress (totally out of budget!!) just to feel like I'd "done" it but it felt a bit production line-y! I'm glad I went as it helped clarify what I *didn't* want, but I did come away feeling a bit deflated that I didn't find it as useful as I'd hoped!
Also I took my (now) husband and it wound both of us up SO much that nobody spoke to him and only seemed to focus on me! It was OUR wedding after all!
RE: shoes I bought mine after the dress but before fittings so the seamstress knew how tall I'd be on the day so we could shorten it appropriately!
I completely agree with you about wedding shows. I didn’t go to any as felt really intimidated. I felt I had to lose weight before my wedding I did try but had to have my dress let out …… I didn’t realise I was 8 weeks pregnant lol 😂 You don’t need to do anything. You look lovely and Benji loves you for exactly who you are. I can’t wait to see more of your plans xxx
Oh bless you!! Thank you, I don't want to do anything but the industry very much makes it feel that way which is disappointing. Thank you xx
Loved this vlog. I see the wedding industry hasn’t changed much since I got married 15 years ago. The big wedding shows are very overwhelming and I found going to the ones we considered for venues was more helpful as could see the set up etc. Catwalks never change and aren’t inclusive of all sizes. Like you say the dresses are made to fit your measurements but it would Be nice to see dresses on plus size models.
I absolutely love your shoes, simple but classic and if you want the bag, get it. I had one on my day but I never carried it myself lol altho you might be different with your situation and what planning. Can’t wait to hear more of your plans x
I agree Claire!! Thank you xx
Hi brogan
what an amazing video. Charmaine & I are planning our wedding. For next year. This was wonderful to see. Benjy is such a lucky guy. When I look back at your very first introduction video & starting your channel you should be so proud of everything you have achieved love you guys
I loved this and love your being true to you too...I had a dress in mind..But put one on lady recommended and fell in love...My husband is wheelchair dependent and worked perfectly for us... Your shoes are perfect mine were that style also....Cant wait to here more xx
Love the choice of shoes that you picked. Sparkles and simple is perfect. Chunky heels are most comfortable and stable for walking in all day. A lot of money but it’ll be worth it for the perfect pair of shoes. The experience of getting the shoes seem lovely. I don’t intend on getting married ever (single Pringle) but it’s lovely to see these videos xxxx
Thank you, I thought that. Aww I appreciate you watching and listening to me chit-chat about it all :) xx
@@brogantatexo you’re more than welcome. I love watching your videos. It spreads the positivity into my life. Keep up the great work xxx
Thanks for sharing this video your shoes are soo lovely too cannot wait for more wedding videos
Thanks Sophia!! xx
You’ve articulated my feelings about the wedding industry perfectly!!! I agreed with everything you said, so much pressure to look a certain way and do things in a specific order and it’s all just so overwhelming!
So glad I'm not alone with this!!
Loved this video. I have been married now for 9 years and to seee how much things have changed in just that short amount of time is crazy. I will say I wish I had tried on more dresses before I got the one I didn’t as sadly now looking back I am not in love with it I settled as I wasn’t paying I felt I needed to get one that the person paying liked
Can’t wait to see all the wedding videos and see your wedding come together
That's a tough situation to be in, totally understand! Definitely want to try a few places. Thank you! xx
Love the shoes so pretty. The sixpence and the words on the sole are such special details. You definitely need the bag!
Thank you so much!
Agreed with the representation on the catwalk and didn’t really like any of the dresses as well.
The shoes tho! I mean… they are fabulous 😍
And take your time. You’ll only get married once! Enjoy it now and just tell us when you feel ready
The shoes are lovely! 👌🏻👌🏻
I recently bought my wedding dress from a shop called Pretty Smithy Bridal in Paignton. They stock a curve range called Millie Grace and they are just beautiful. The lady was amazing and made me feel so relaxed and good in my dress. I'd recommend paying them a visit.
Beautiful shoes!
I got married in 2018. Ceremony shoes were not a big deal for me but my reception shoes were my top priority. I had wedding style Keds under my dress...wanted to be sure I could dance all not and my feet not hurt😊. Definitely have a bag. I didn't think I would need one, but we did a money dance at the reception and I was so happy my mom gave me a clutch for my something borrowed to stash we we got.
I do agree that the wedding industry is not very plus size friendly, or tall friendly. I am 5'11 and curvy so I not much fit me in stores for my dress. I had to order.
Hi Brogan, I don’t usually comment but felt compelled to do so. I got married abroad in 2017 and when you were saying you can’t have too big of a dress because it’ll be hand luggage. Don’t even think about. We flew with Ryan air and I purchased a seat on the plane for my dress and if you are going further afield, contact the airline and they should be able to hang it up for you in first class. Congrats and enjoy all the planning. X
Married 26 years this year - glad we don’t need to plan it again - love your shoes - hope you got the matching bag x
Thank you, Lesley! Wow, 26 years! Any words of wisdom for a long, happy marriage? xx
Love your blog… Rituals are lovely , if you head to Portsmouth they have a outlet shop amazing for little gifts xx
Thank you! Ooh yes! xx
Go to local wedding shows or ones in nice villages near you then you can make a day of it you tend to get more accessories and smaller intimate Boutique businesses at local ones, also not as overwhelming I loved planning my wedding but it was nearly 25 years ago now.. bringing lovely memories watching your vlog x
I've done 2 local ones too! Good idea :) xx
Hi Miss Brogan!! I totally share your same thoughts and opinions on wedding shows. I personally went to one (here in the states) and I was completely overwhelmed. I did exactly what you are doing, my husband and I got married in Mexico so a lot of the things these bridal shows offer were things I did not need. The ONE item I did end up booking through the wedding show was our photographer. So even though they offered photography services where we got married, I chose to bring mine with me because I knew exactly what I was getting. Our engagement session was free and she was supposed to do our reception the next year - but COVID happened so we didn't do it. It ended up being around the same price to bring her as it was to use their services. I also had a big princess dress - It fit beautifully in a garment bag and I took it on the plane with me - no issues at all. The one regret I have though, was my wedding dress. I really wish I took more time, but the pressure got to me. Take your time and find what is right for you!! I can't wait to see what you come up with. :)
Thank you for sharing that lovely!! That's good to know about travelling with your dress too xx
I went to this show as well and I’m also well into the wedding planning, and I was looking for accessories, shoes and things like that. I was also looking for the more personal touch items
I’m also a plus size and totally agree with you on the plus size thing it would be nice to be recommended.
For my wedding dress I knew what style would suit my body shape so had that in mind. I was reading real wedding blogs online and saw a girl in a dress I wanted! I just searched that dress down, was happy to have second hand, ex sample etc but found a shop that would still make it. It was the only dress I ever tried on, even though the shop kept trying to get me to try other styles etc
Amazing!! xx
Love the shoes 🥰
Thanks Sarah xx
Being a bride to be myself as you probably know, i found it very overwhelming. I did go to a few weeding shows but nevwr booked anything with any of them, i did alot of research into the wedding industry and read alot of reviews on photographers, venues, and other bits and bobs to be able to be be confident with who we were booking.
I get married on my birthday next year in august.x
Wishing you the best with your wedding journey my lovely! xx
@@brogantatexo thankyou. I cant wait to see more wedding video vlogs that you do, it gets me excited for my wedding. Xx
This takes me back!!! I had two daughters getting married within a year of each other, so we went to LOTS of wedding shows! SO fun (and cake samples!!!)!!! 😍😍😍 I LOVE the exfoliating thing!!! The shows I've been to had enough food samples that we didn't need to buy any food or drinks!!! It seems a bit different there. You're absolutely right about the lack of representation of anyone not a stick-figure! NOT good!!! 😟😟😟 VERY pretty shoes!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Continued love and health to all from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜
Oh wow, bet that was busy for you Julie! Thank you so much xx
@@brogantatexoyes, one in March 2018 and the other in September 2018! And now my last (but also oldest) daughter is getting married in September 2023!
Shoes are beautiful ❤love the sixpence x
Thank you xx
Brogan make sure when you finally try on dresses the shop lady who helps you is kind. If you don’t vibe with them ask for another sales associate. The women who helped me in and out of my dresses was very rude and told me there was no way I was a 4-6 and kept putting me in bigger sizes gowns, it was hard to see what they actually looked like and really hurt my confidence that I felt like the women was picking on me in the changing room. Anyway it put a damper on the dress I actually ordered that was indeed my true size after I was measured by another women in the shop. I ended up returning the gown for store credit and buying my accessories there rather than the actual dress. I wore my mother’s wedding gown in the end.
I hope wedding dress shopping will be an amazing experience for you, just remember it is your day!
A lot of their bags are on sale at the moment on their website! If you’re still thinking of getting it x
We’re also getting married abroad and totally know what you mean by feeling like the UK wedding shows don’t really apply to you or thrill you! 😁Micro weddings abroad all the way! Less drama & more intimate/personal! 🥰💍
How exciting!! Can't wait to discuss plans more soon. Couldn't agree more!! xx
Can’t wait to see you wear them on the day for real 😍
Me too, gonna need your help putting them on haha!! xx
Lovely wedding shoes!
Thank you! 😊
I went to Most Curious Wedding Fair in 2019 (the only wedding fair I’ve ever been to, I knew someone involved so just went to show support as I wasn’t even close to getting married anytime soon at that point 😅) but it gave me such an incredible feeling as it was so full of amazing stands and I left wishing I was getting married so I could use some of the vendors 🤣 but the fashion show was by far my favourite part, it had models of all shapes, sizes, colours, etc. and was incredibly inclusive!! I was excited to see this vlog cos I thought it would bring me back to how I felt at that show but this show was so meh 😬
Hi Brogan another great vlog. I think as you say a good show to attend at start of the journey. Pity you couldn't have gone with mum. I would do and have done the same with goody bags 🥳. I got my dress from Debenhams £495 25 years ago. When you find the one you will know. Gorgeous shoes. Get the bag! Dxxx
Aww thank you Donna xx
I’ve been waiting to see this vlog Brogan ❤ look forward to more wedding content !!! It’s raining outside this is perfect for me xx
Yay! Thank you! xx
I just got engaged and I am SO excited for this and more wedding content!! I know you’re keeping some secrets but excited to see whatever you do choose to share 🥰
Yay! Congratulations Morgan! Thank you xx
I had blue shoes for my wedding because I didn’t like any of the bridal ones and thought I could wear the again after and I have. Bags wise pick a dress with pockets!! I think I had my phone in there for pictures and lipstick that’s all I needed
I love that, then the shoes are your 'something blue' if you followed that at all :) Love that, I hope mine has pockets too! xx
So excited for you! The shoes are amazing. You look so happy you are glowing & radiant!
Thanks so much, Candice!! xx
So I went to a wedding show and ended up booking my DJ from there, had a discount. I think you should look into vendors and such around the area you are planning to get married at. I don’t know if your destination wedding place has any packages for weddings, but look into that as well.
Good shout :)
Thank you for sharing such a lovely experience. Since you asked, I thought I would share an observation about some of the styles. I felt some of the dresses looked like bridal lingerie. Something you would wear on your wedding night, not day. Your shoes are so beautiful!!
Yes, some of the dresses were not for me! Thank you :) xx
I took a fair sized dress this August to Orlando to marry. Subtle glitter, train, it was gorgeous. Don’t discount anything. I went with a Sophia Tolli x
Those shoes ❤️ .. yeah the catwalk was very dull and generic and didn't cater to many sizes at all. Cant wait to hear about your wedding!! X
I remember the pressure of being the most beautiful you could be on one day!
Eeee!! I can’t wait to see it all come together! I’m so happy for the both of you and your shoes are BEAUTIFUL!
My husband and I couldn’t afford a big wedding so we decided to get married with just our parents there and a dinner afterwards, honeymoon at Disneyland. We are planning our vow renewal when hit 5 years married (which is two years away 🤯) and that’s when we will splurge on my wedding dress and his tux. Please please don’t feel pressured to do things in order, do whatever feels right to you and Benji. Congratulations once again 💕
I love that, you have to do things the way that works for you. How wonderful. Thank you for sharing that! Big love xx
How are you going to break in your shoes before the wedding day. As i dont wear heels that often but really wanted to wear some nice shoes.
I'm just going to wear them around the house and as the company suggested, wearing with a pair of socks whilst watching a film!
@@brogantatexo think i might have to do that to get used to my shoes.
I completely agree with how frustrating it is having a lack of plus size representation. I got married nearly 6 years ago and there was so little choice was so frustrating. With the national wedding show - I went to the Birmingham one before I got married and found it really overwhelming but did find the wedding photographer that we used who was incredible but that was all. I think sometimes the smaller wedding fayres are a bit better and a lot less intimidating! Xx
Lots of people have said the same thing!! xx
Am single and definitely not getting married but still found it really interesting 😅
I did the traditional 'big' wedding but found planning my wedding to be not as expected. I think there's a romanticised idea of it all (understandable!) but I found wedding shows, wedding dress shopping etc really underwhelming and if I'm honest disappointing. So excited for you and Benji and love the shoes!!! X
I went to the wedding fair in London with my daughter who is a bride to be. We were quite disappointed with the whole experience. We felt exactly the same as you did about people pulling dresses out of the stalls and queuing to try them on - it was all very chaotic. Also, just like you mentioned, the lack of things like hair accessories, veils, shoes, bags and all the other small things that make up a wedding were missing. The fashion show was also very lack luster. On a happier note, I love your shoes, very pretty. 😊
I couldn't agree more! Those little details make wedding planning so exciting, I would have loved to have seen more things like that. Thank you, Deborah! xx
I was very lucky and had my dress handmade one tip i will pass on is buy your shoes and wedding lingerie first and take both with you for dress fitting trying session etc. It makes a big difference
Hi we are on the P&o iona we love as much as you did
I think you are 100% on the right track planning your special day!! A wedding abroad suits your adventurous personalities so well and it’s sure to be exciting and memorable. Weddings seem to trigger so many opinions from family and friends ( requested or not 😜) You won’t regret sticking to your guns and doing only the things that you and Benji feel is right for your day.
p.s. those shoes are just wedding day perfection!😍
You can book a separate seat next to you for your wedding dress so it doesn’t have to comply with normal hang luggage dimensions!
Good idea!
Get the bag!! And you will need a bag, I needed a bigger bag really lol!! Nice to put your makeup and phone in (I took a cute selfie in the car with my hubby). Your bridesmaids carry your bag anyways 😅
I definitely want a bag!! xx
Love your wedding shoes!
Thank you!! xx
Oh my goodness the shoes are absolutely gorgeous 😍
Thank you!! xx
The dress at 11.40!! Love it 👏🏼💕
Oh yes that was PRETTY! I think it was Coast, might be this one! www.coastfashion.com/3d-floral-shoulder-split-front-maxi-dress/BCC02284.html
🥰🌟💕
Lol - that brand advertising as “Australia’s best selling leave in conditioner”… I’ve lived in Sydney my whole life and never seen or heard of that brand before. They are definitely not our best selling brand for Haircare 🤣😂
Will you guys be Getting married in Dubai? I think that would be so cute since it’s where you guys got engaged 💍💍
It's not Dubai, although that would be lovely! xx
I got married 2.5 years ago and I was asked several times how much weight I was planning to lose and even picked up on eating biscuits at work. My husband didn't get one single comment... It's extremely frustrating and hopefully something future generations of women won't have to deal with.
When I look back at my wedding photos and video, the first thing I notice is my smile and complete happiness. My weight and body shape are not part of my memories and I think that's thanks to me ignoring weight-loss pressures 💃
That's awful, I'm so sorry you had that experience! Absolutely! I bet you looked amazing! xx
First of all, your shoes are gorgeous! As far as the wedding show goes, it did look a bit over the top, so I can understand your comments. As I was watching the cat walk I actually said out loud "where are the plus size girls?". It was very disappointing to see so little representation of different body types. I can't wait to see as you reveal more details of your wedding, and I know that you and Benji will have the perfect day for you!
I couldn't agree more! Thank you so much Elizabeth! xx
Oooh I've never been this early but I'm so excited!😁 It's raining outside, it's Friday, I'm curled up with my dog on the sofa in a blanket with tea in my hand - this video is EXACTLY what I need!!🥰 Buzzing for all your bride vibes and wedding bubble excitement. x
Hey Ally! Thanks for watching, I LOVE that!! xx
Hey sweetie 🤗 I love your shoes and how adorable that they have the coin in the sole of the shoe ☺️ I thought exactly the same regarding the lack of diversity and inclusion on the catwalk - it’s a shame that this is still an issue in 2022. Get the bag if you want it ☺️ xxx
Thank you Leona! Yes, couldn't agree more xx
I’ve just seen my dress in that dress part haha xx
How exciting!! xx
@@brogantatexo only down fall is I have to give it up as my parents paid for it and would like it back due to my wedding being out on hold so my sister will now be wearing it down the isle xx
Loved this vlog💙 will you and benji still have a wedding cake , photographer and stuff like that?xx 👰 so excited for you and benji 💍 will you guys wear a veil?
Thanks lovely! Good questions, we will share all those details later! Not sure on a veil yet, I think I need to try some on with dresses xx
I’m getting married in August and the typical wedding fairs were not for me-I am having a more casual wedding and I found a lot of it too samey. I recommend checking out the Quirky Wedding Faire and Rock n Roll Bride for some different inspiration!
I got my dress from Story of my Dress in Kent-much more modern, minimal, comfortable styles than those big poofy dresses!
I agree! Thank you, great idea! Thanks for sharing your dress recommendation too, sounds perfect xx
I really didn’t like the wedding show at all! But it was something to tick off the bridal to do list! I also went to a few wedding dress shops before I found the right one for me! I ended up going myself cause my family had way too many opinions and it was getting to me! I ended up with a ALine dress in rose gold and a lot of dresses you can customise so I was able to put on sleeves and add abit of material to the back so it wasnt as low down! So you don’t need to just take it as is! 😊
Yes to the bridal to-do list!! I felt the same, wanted the experience. I love that, I bet you looked amazing xx
I would have thought a big traditional English wedding would be more her thing.
Wedding shows are always horrific I think! Lol! I think I lasted an hour when I went to one.
YUP.
Wedding shopping isn’t anything I’m going to be doing but I’m still really interested. What was the hair removal tool like? I use an epilator and get a lot of ingrown hairs. I’d like an alternative. Are you able to share where you got your eyebrows microbladed? I’m local to you and mine are fading as it was ages ago, but the person dosnt do it any more. Shoes are lovely. What a rip off that half a bagel was🙄!
The hair tool I've only used once and wasn't sure, I think I need to persist with it! Yes, her name is Jessica. You can contact her here - booksy.com/en-gb/74279_jessica-sweet-spmu_beauty-salon_1149415_poole
Wedding shows are my worst nightmare 😂 I'm not keen on any of it
It wasn't a vibe haha
I hated the national wedding show, thought it was tacky and a huge waste of money
Beautiful shoes very special 🤗💞🙏✝️☀️
We recently renewed our vows in orlando in august so I've got plenty of advice that I was given that I can pass on to you if you wanted but not sure where to send that info - do you have several Instagram public accounts or is it just brogantatexo ?
Amazing! Yes please do message me, @brogantatexo on Instagram is best :) xx
