Ouch. My feet are killing. I’ve just been trawling the shops for a particular colour of dyed feathers which will provide the finishing touch in next week’s bonnet bouquet. It’s based on a teal colour theme. Yummy! I’m pretty pleased that I managed to find some. Yes Carolyn, if you’re reading this, I’m talking about your big day 
Tomorrow I’ll be down the woods, scuffling about, hunting pine cones and holly to begin putting together a ‘winter wonderland’ theme. Diana, that’s for you…
So much of my job is spent sewing, snipping and tying things together that I think I probably spend more time playing dress up with the cars than I do driving.
While I’m on the subject of decorations I decided to do a quick count up to see which were the most popular themes of the year so far. Here you go pop pickers….
10. An opulent new entry this year, rich chocolate brown
9. Elegant and thoroughly English, the classic Hunter Green
8. Gaining popularity this year has been Royal Blue
7. This year twice as many brides have opted for Fuchsia
6. Traditional and timeless, you just can’t go wrong with Ivory
5. It’s not just for Goths, and cockney funerals. Bold and brilliant Black
4. Fresh and Zesty, this has featured in all four seasons’ lemon
3. Passionate and dramatic, down on last year but still big news Scarlet
2. Maybe it’s because the girls love chocolate? Cadburys Purple
1. By a country mile the rip roaring ultra-hit of the year, luscious Burgundy.
