So tomorrow is the Big Day, the day I finally say I do to my partner in crime for the past 11 and a half years and we’re officially making ourselves a family unit, ready to begin our next chapter. I’m signing myself out for the next two or three weeks (I hope, tell me off for replying to any comments), but today I have something different and special; something my friends helped with, they’ve tried to Guess the Dress! I’ve laughed and loved reading over their responses when I asked them to write a paragraph or two about what they thought my wedding dress would look like.
Laura
Uni Friend – One of the few people who made my university life non-miserable/we were miserable together
I asked Rach a few weeks back what her dress was like. She sent me this; (Rach Edit: Aren’t I hilarious)
I laughed, I contemplated the idea of it and got to thinking what would she actually be wearing on her big day.
Well, we’ve already seen the knickers on Instagram Stories. But what about the dress and the shoes? Well…shoe wise I imagine them being the tallest of possible heels – she’s always said she would wear heels regardless of how much taller than Ben she’d be. Guess we all need to get out the yellow pages for him, or hope he’s wearing comedy stilts to match the comedy dress she sent me.
Dress wise…I imagine, elegance, class and sophistication, but at the same time a level of alternative style away from tradition. I’ve got a princess dress in my head. Kind of like the one below, but a bit more poofy and more cream?
There will be plenty of sparkles and no doubt about it, she will be a beautiful bride. I will guess a mainly up do, a veil and some level of clumsyness during the day. Do they make matching bibs for the dress??
I’m hoping she doesn’t look as miserable as this ‘bride’ though.
Jo
Oldest Friend, we’ve known each other since we were at preschool, went to the same Primary & Secondary school and will always be my BFF
Abi
One of my closest & best friends, also my eyelash extension guru
Radiant – All the best face and hair masks will ensure Rachael’s glowing
Amazing – Stevie has already perfected the colour of her hair & I know the updo (half up/half down/veil curly updo) will be amazing
Classy – and Sophisticated (and clean for 5 minutes)
Happy – She will be wearing the biggest smile all day
Astonishing – Rachael will take Ben’s breath away (and make the rest of us cry!)
Exquisite – her jewellery and shoes will be the perfect finishing touch
Loose – After a few glasses of prosseco & dancing with her besties
All my love Abi x
Feel free to leave your predictions below, or who you think is closest should you so desire! See you on the flip side as a married lady, I’m no doubt going to be still all over Instagram, because lets face it, Bali and Kuala Lumpur are two locations made for Instagram, and I’m sure you’ll see a picture of us sometime over the weekend before we’re en-route to the airport on Monday!

Congrats congrats congrats!!! May the big day be everything you dreamed it would be, and more!
Lovely post, the dresses are both gorgeous. Jo’s pick is my fave for you!
Hmm I definitely think ballgown, something with lace and maybe an illusion neckline ? I actually work in a bridal shop so if I’m wrong then I quit 😂😂 I’m sure you’ll look incredible no matter what you’re wearing!
congratulations and best wishes for your future together xx
How exciting! Hope you had a great time. I recently married too and know how exciting and stressful it can be at the same time.
Congrats again, Rachael! Hope the day was everything you had imagined and more 🙂
