Wedding planning, work & tattoos

I'm am so surprised at how many of you have been reading my blogs!
Thank you!
I'm hoping to do another fashion related post soon - and seeing as my Autumn outfits blog was viewed most I'll definitely be doing a Spring version for you all... i have been distracted by wedding planning
.. I can't believe how soon it is that I'll be a bride! (Under 80 days away now!)
So far my mum & I have had so much fun looking & choosing we are in that stage of 'oh wow I think I could be a wedding planner', I keep getting told that it won't last and I'll be stressing soon...but I honestly don't think I will be! I've had another florist appointment recently and loved getting all the final details sorted and in my head, because I love the outdoors and flowers so much I've made sure it's a flower themed wedding! Focusing mainly on sweet peas & roses because my Grandad was very fond of growing both of these and the colour scheme being purple as it was my Nannys favourite colour 💜 (Did you see how quickly I got distracted there?😂)
 It's all coming together in a way I couldn't ever have imagined, and so much easier than I thought it would be and that's all down to my amazing Mum helping all the way, and of course my Dad for putting up with us both! I cannot wait to show Jason the things I've kept secret from him to surprise him with on the day, he's been involved in a lot of choices, but I knew I had to keep some things untold to reveal!
Last night my bridesmaids Sasha, Katie,  & flower girl Bonnie tried on their dresses and shoes for the first time and everyone's fit perfectly, I had to hold back tears! (I'm very emotional I've realsied and cry a lot at happy things 🙄😂)  I'll look forward to blogging all my wedding details in photo form for you guys to check out after the big day!
Once Bonnie had gone up to bed we all got together in front of sashas laptop and got our hen do to AMSTERDAM booked! 🙌🏻 I can't wait to go back there, especially with my girls!
So as you can tell I've been super busy with weddingy things as well as still running my photography business, and I got another three tattoos on my leg already this year - first one in Edinburgh, in February, I stayed with the awesome Joanne Baker (https://www.instagram.com/milky_tattoodles) for two nights, on the second day she tattooed a robin sat with some sweet peas at Semper the studio she works at and then took me for veggie/vegan lunch & cocktails 😋 Later in the month I headed off to Brighton Tattoo convention and got a Polaroid camera & the solar system tattooed on me by the amazing Jules boho from Austria (https://www.instagram.com/julesboho.tattoo) and then finally got my gorgeous peacock butterfly from the beautiful Danielle Merricks at Inkden tattoo studio in Blackpool! (https://www.instagram.com/paintingisntdead)  So I've been all over the place again filling up my leg with gorgeous watercolour styles by three amazing ladies! You'll have to search Instagram for the photos 😉
I definitely love being busy, it keeps me going, it'd be far worse if I had nothing to do, this way round you feel fulfilled and then enjoy the breaks even more.
