Dream Day Wedding

Filed under: Fun and Games · Posted by: Polkadot Bride at 7:57 pm

DD4 Dream Day WeddingA friend recently sent me a link, earlier this month WeddingBee talked about the new bridal game brides (and non brides!) were slowly becoming addicted to. With all the comments I just had to check it out!

As the new wedding assistant you are introduced to the bride’s wedding album, where she invites you to help her on her journey.

DD2 Dream Day WeddingYou are then sent on a treasure hunt through the usual bridal haunts- the beauty salon, chocolate shop, florist and so on. You have to look hard for that piece of ginger! (the list gets wackier!) and you must find all the items before the shop shuts!

DD5 Dream Day Wedding
Every now an then (as in every wedding planning journey) an emergency occurs- your dad spills coffee over your wedding dress (in shock of the price!) and so you must find all the items on the list again, except the shop has been turned upside down. If you succeed you’ll get a reward.

A memory game and choose-your-own-story game both round out the multitude of hours this game will waste when you need some time out!

Dream Day Wedding is available for a 60 minute free trial from NineMSN Games and the full version is available for purchase for $29.95

In Her Shoes

Apart from the candid moments, I love the little detail shots by photographers. These capture the details you’ve thought so hard about- I’m particularly fond of shoes shots, being a shoe lover myself, I adore the different styles a photographer uses for shoes!

Some of my favourite shoe shots
