    Had a productive couple of days. Yesterday I bought some peach coloured water beads to go in my centre pieces and some ivory pull bows. Today I bought some peach coloured pull bows these are so we can decorate the walkway up to the church as it's got a handrail we can put them on :) x

    We've got the venue, registrar, DJ and harpist booked. Should have transport and the photographer sorted within the next few weeks. Once that's been done everything else will take a back seat for a couple of months. Just wanna get all the bigger things sorted so then only have to worry about the smaller details xx

    I'm not sure we're even going to bother with transport, due to it being soo expensive!

    The dad of one of my bridesmaids owns a VW camper and I think he's cool with us borrowing it for the day. I'm not even fussed about travelling in it but really want it at the venue for the photo opportunities - I love them! To hire one though we are looking at at least £450 which I think is so steep. I'll be happy just sticking some ribbons on a family member's car and just travelling there that way to be honest!! xx

    I did want a white Bentley but they are so expensive. I've said to h2b nearer to the wedding we will have to see what cars our friends have got :) our friend used to work at the ferrari garage in nottingham and he's still close to the boss so he might be able to get us a good deal on something x

    That would be awesome! OH would like a nice car I think just for the experience, but it's not high on our priorities. Not ruling it out but more important things to spend money on atm - might see what's left in the budget/evaluate how our saving is going nearer the time and decide then :) xx

    We have no need for cars so have saved the expense. Although in lala land I would love to arrive in a Caterham 7 with a helmet that doesn't spoil my hair in any way haha. I love cars, but H2b isn't that keen, and as I am getting ready at the venue and everything is in one place, not really a need :(

    We weren't at all bothered about transport and agreed to just borrow OHs colleagues car (new white 'Beema') and I ordered a personalised ribbon for it so our transport was sorted for20 quid. Couple of months after that, MIL brought it up and started getting OH interested in looking at some cars and now have 2 cars for him and his groomsmen etc. Weve now got a ferrari and some other fancy car I don't know the name of lol. Doesn't bother me!

    My sister (chief bridesmaid) has just asked if I've got any preferences on where I'd like to go for hen do. Told her don't want to go abroad as our LO will only be 2 so want to be around if OH needs me for anything. We've decided on Manchester as it's somewhere I've always wanted to go and we can go shopping at the Trafford centre too :) exciting...2016 can't come quick enough
