Doing the best we can

It's just over 10 weeks until my wedding day now and I'd like to say that I'm perfectly calm and everything is done.  I'd like to...but I'd be lying!!!  It seems a little odd to me that life hasn't stopped to allow me to spend hours meticulously planning our wedding...so there's still tons to do!  

I also like to think that we have the power to change our lives and make them what we choose...but sometimes I'm not the most shining example of my own philosophies!  I do get stressed...I do get a bit overloaded and overwhelmed...I do get caught up in the little details and sometimes forget the bigger picture (but my gorgeous fiance gently reminds me what's important)...and I do keep trying my best every day.  

And in all honestly...what more can we do in life than doing the best we can? You can't be any better than your best! Your best might not be as good as someone else's best, but you can only try harder...which is still doing your best!  

So...in these busy pre-wedding days I have to admit to having the odd conversation with myself, (actually, these conversations have been going on for years...they're just rather more frequent right now!) in which I keep reminding myself that I'm doing great, and that I'm doing the best I can, and that everything is fine! 

Well...I've got to be my own best friend haven't I?!?! I spend every minute of every day hanging out with myself...so there's no point in saying nasty things to myself! Sometimes though, that's easier said than done...seeing as I am still only human.

So, really my philosophising leads to only one conclusion...that everything is perfect just as it is.  That doesn't mean we stop dreaming or striving for our goals...it just means we can make the choice to live in the present moment...one day at a time.

The romantic chic-flick the 'Holiday' sums it up perfcetly in one phrase... "Be the leading lady in your own life".

The singing tiara & the lucky winner...

It's the beginning of June and our Tiara Giveaway Competition has come to a close. The countdown has finished and we've picked our lucky winner...a bride-to-be called Tamlyn who's getting married in May 2009. Tamlyn gets to choose any tiara of her choice from our current collection worth up to £170...I'll let you know which tiara she ends up choosing soon.

Whilst we're on the subject of competitions...we've now successfully teamed up with You and Your Wedding (who've given us a 'Best of British' stamp of approval) to offer a bride-to-be the chance to win the Entwine Tiara.    

The Entwine Tiara is not a tiara that screams "I'M A BARBIE PRINCESS"!!! It won't appeal to the diamante crowd who want blindin' bling...and it won't appear in American prom queen top listings.  

No...the Entwine tiara (were it to have a voice!) would sing a soothing, celestial melody!  It would appeal to the modern bride who dreams of an understated and subtle tiara with a hint of sparkle...and it would endeavor to make you feel like a Goddess on your wedding day.

No wonder it's a best seller...so why am I giving it away?  Hmmm...maybe there's a screw or two loose eh!

Check back soon.
