Hi Ladies Hope all the planning is going well. My wedding favours arrived this week very pleased with them. Bridesmaids are sorted too. Can I ask if any of you plan to buy parents gifts? I know we get the ushers and bridesmaids. Thanks

Wow Gemma what a bargain! I've fallen in love with a pair of irr3gular ch0ice shoes they are pink!! I'm planning on pink bridesmaids so love the idea of pink shoes for me. Naomi I'm planning on getting the 2 mums flowers and little plaques saying today a bride, tomorrow a wife, forever your daughter. Then one saying son. I hadn't thought about the dad's lol

Katie & Danielle I couldn't believe my luck, especially as I really struggle with shoes! I love that saying too Danielle and you can put it on where you like xx
CommentAuthorFlossie
Definitely buying gifts for the parents. 1) Because they are being amazing and helping us out a lot. 2) Because they are just our parents and it's nice to just thank them for being them and bringing us into the world :) my dad and FIL will be getting personalised pocket watches and we will probably get nice bouquets and a necklace or something for the mums.
Thanks everyone! Love this website :) So far I have paid deposit for venue and booked registrar. It is our engagement party in june so will get cracking properly after that! Oh and obviously I have tried dresses on already! Xxx

I'm finding it quite daunting rather than exciting thinking about going wedding dress shopping.. is that weird?! Did anyone else feel like that? x

Personally I cant relate as I was sooooo excited to go looking and trying, but when I had my dress on and knew it was the one then I felt quiet daunted by the fact that this was my wedding dress and I was a bride! I hadn't felt like a bride until I had the dress on and its an awesome feeling xx

I can't wait for the feeling, I know I will be absolutely ecstatic when I've found "the one", and like any girl, I've grown up dreaming about the day I'm able to wear a wedding dress! I'm not sure why I'm finding it so daunting!

Nope not yet, I'm going to have a browse online soon and pick out the shops I want to visit. There are a few key designers I'm targeting so will probably visit 2 or 3 shops so I can try on all the ones I want :) aiming for June but the closer it's getting the scarier it's getting!! x

That's the one thing I was really sure about waiting for, because I know if I got it really early I would have probably regretted it. I've never even been tempted to start looking earlier.. I've hardly even looked online! x

I was so relaxed going dress shopping as I was just going for a browse had no intention of buying so early. I was convinced I wanted a m0ri L33 dress but ended up falling in love with a Just1n Al3xand8r. Not sure if your allowed to write designers names lol. Beautiful dress Sarah you look great. I need to lose weight for my dress!!! What to feel more comfortable in it

CommentAuthorSarah D
I am having jars with hot chocolate, marshmallows and chocolate chips and little labels to stick on the front xx

I think we're going to have charity badges and a couple of sweets in a little bag or box x
Been playing about for invitation/decoration ideas.
I love this colour but I think I'm going to try to get more of a teal green to match the bridesmaid/flower girl dresses.

Received our save the date / save the evening cards today, I love them! They weren't due till Monday so was a nice surprise! Xx
CommentAuthorMrs M Wade
When I spoke to the florist who gave me a goo deal on our wedding flowers. She said I'd need to book an appointment to go and see her to discuss things further but said to leave it until the end of April before booking as she wanted to get the April rush out of the way. Should I phone up this week to book or do you think I should wait until May and then phone up? Thanks x

CommentAuthorFlossie
I'd probably phone up next week as that's the last week of April :-)

I am so leaning towards having them made now Flossie! xx
Became Mrs Duthie 7th October 2016
CommentAuthorFlossie
I had a good quote from someone to get mine made but I just know I could do them sooo much cheaper - and to be honest, flowers aren't high on the priority list for me so I can't get too excited about them! I've seen loads of things I like, I just need to decide on what I actually want and then try and source the flowers :-) yours are quite complicated with the brooches etc. so I can understand why you'd think about having them made for you! I don't think I could do them myself!! xx

CommentAuthorSarah D
I am going to give it a try as I think it looks pretty easy but ive not tried yet lol!
I may get them made and if I do ive not lost out on a lot as ive only spent about £20 in total on all the things to have a go xx

CommentAuthorFlossie
I've not watched any of the tutorials or anything so in my mind it seems quite complicated haha. I literally just want loose flowers tied up with hessian, with the stems on show, so I've not really got to worry about it too much! Yeah there's no harm in having a go.. they might turn out perfect! You'll have to show us! xx

I'm currently thinking something like this which should be easy enough to make and source all the flowers fairly cheaply. Will just order from china probably! xx

Yeah I will defo post pics! if H2B isn't home this weekend its to be miserable weather so I might start on something, I got my flowers from china and they were super cheap 50 roses for £5.00 and smaller silver glitter roses for 12 it was about £7, I got the wire for a few pounds and I have some brooches which I got 4 for £3. I would need more brooches for the actual bouquets but I though I can have a go with a small amount. I do need to buy ribbon to wrap the bottom of the stems.
That is a lovely bouquet! very classy xx

I've had a looksie on eb@y already for flowers and there are loads of bargains from china! Think I will definitely be getting mine, or some of them at least, from there. Need to sit down and have a proper look around though.
I want something fairly simple because we have lots of different colours going on.. something nice and neutral to tie them all together. I was thinking of having a light lemon colour in them too to tie in my little flower girl xx
