It is a happy coincidence that Amber's and my birthday fall quite close together....and what better way to celebrate then prancing around the beautiful Merton gardens in Regency costume....
We had planned to rent costumes...but Oxford has surprising few costume shops and no decent outfits could be found! In the end, we both ended up making a last minute trip to the old reliable....Primark!!
Oxford also has a major problem in the lack of any material shop, however Primark always seems to deliver one way or another. I love Ambers outfit which is made from a sheet and the pearls in her hair are simple and beautiful. My outfit cost a total of £15....I couldn't believe my luck with the jacket which was on sale in Primark for £5 and just took a bit of sowing to shorten and fit better.
We weren't the only ones dressed up.... in fact the majority of our guests made a fantastic effort which you can see in the video below.
I love how your can here the bells ringing in the background and I also love Patrik's very blue outfit!
....Fantastic Party!!
We already have plans for next....Tudor Party!
