Lulu's wedding cake recipe -

Go to Cheesecake shop.
Order 2 cakes, one bigger than the other. ( I did mudcake)
Put one cake on top of the other.
Melt white chocolate and spread onto alfoil that has been scrunched up and smoothed out a bit.
When it hardens break into big shards and stick to side of cake with melted choc, you might like the smooth side or the textured side to show.
Tie a wide organza ribbon around the base.

Eat it for Dessert and save $$

Lulu's Flower Idea - I think this would be fun as! Run into a flower shop on your way to the ceremony, chuck $100 at the chick behind the counter and challenge her to make you a bouquet right then and there....and one for a bridesmaid too if you are feeling cheeky.

I did go to some outlet shops and stuff for 2nd hand dresses but it was a muck around and a little depressing when you see whats actually on offer. I went to Bridge Road in Richmond (are you in Vic?) and looked at some of the boutiques there. For $200 - $500 you can find a lovely 'wedding' dress or a beautiful ballgown that could be a once off by an up and coming designer. Unless you are stuck on white - I did find a lovely one, but mum dragged me off to Anthea Crawford (out the back), and was lucky enough to find the dressmaker had been mucking around with a fabric she liked so I scored a STUNNING boned top that would never be seen on anyone else....yay!

Hey I don't mind if you turn into Bridezilla, its funny!
