    Today went brilliant, got so much talked about at the venue. We're going with a big chalkboard for the seating plan, and individual chalkboards with names on. Gone through the running of the day, discussed other decor, like the tree trunks etc, and what chair backs we want, ... Having hessian and lace which is tied on with twine and connected with like a tree trunk heart...loved them! Then she's doing hessian type napkins with a bit of yellow going through to go with the sunflowers...

    Your theme sounds similar to ours Kel for the decor. We're having enamel jugs filled with hydrangeas and jam jars wrapped with hessian filled with wild flowers sitting on tree bark circles. With vintage lace and pick sashes tied with a pearl brooch

    Had a menu tasting at our venue today, was delish!! I was sure I'd choose the beef dish but I'm gonna have the salmon, it was lovely. Just can't decide between sticky toffee pud or raspberry and white choc cheesecake! Might make h2b choose whichever I don't so I can share it!

    Just fetched two bags to see which I like and that goes with my shoes but they both go and I like both!!

    id like to do hong kong/china at some point, we did look at that but it was really expensive. the escorted tours for japan are super dear as well, but as its a smaller country it will be easier for us to sort our own trips out....hopefully

    Bridesmaid dresses arrived today, from light in the box! They are fab, don't know why others have put that website down as I'm well impressed,the workmanship on them is brilliant considering they're full length chiffon dresses for £44 each, down from £140 x

    I FINALLY bought my wedding dress today! It's one I tried on in January and since then nothing else has come close, so today I tried it on again, fell in love with it all over again and ordered it! Soooooo happy and very relieved with only 5 months to go! X

    Thankyou Sonya! Finally realised it had taken me so long to find a dress as I was insistent i wanted a strapless one...until I tried this one and realised the lace sleeve bits looked amazing! I love the lace at the back too...it's everything I didn't expect to get! Big skirt, button back, white with sleeves...I was thinking slinky, strapless ivory and lace up back! Goes to show you should try everything!

    Velcro- I'm glad everything's looking up for you...I hope there's no more drama and you can relax now! :)


    Ooooh countdown now says 4 months! So exciting!!!

    OMG!! 4 months?!? I still haven't sent invites, am I the only one on here that hasn't??

    Joey - my dress is nothing like I thought I'd go for either. I wanted fitted to my waist then out was adamant I did not want anything fitted over my hips and did not want a lace up back. I got all the things I didn't want!!

    We haven't made or sent our invites yet so you're not alone! Although because we're not having a sit down meal numbers don't matter too much. Also most people already know they're invited and have told me they are free and saving the date so the invitations are just a formality ;) hoping to send them out at the end of April/beginning of May all being well.

    Well I've confirmed day numbers finally, just need to get all the addresses and get them sent out! We've ended up adding extra people though so bumped the price up by around £300 if everyone says yes.

    We have to confirm final numbers to our venue 4 weeks before so August would be too late for our rsvp, we're putting end of June for day and end July for evening.

    My dress fittings start in July too

    I'm giving myself 6 weeks before the wedding so it should be ok. Its hard to judge how many you'll be inviting we initially guessed 80 adults would be more than enough & we've 84 adults & 18 children if they all come! As mine is a package wedding we've half paid already so even if they do all come it'll not add that much more on. Hen party in 6weeks on Friday :) magaluf here we come:)

    hi ladies,

    just wondering if i could join in your lil chat about september weddings. Im getting married on the 27th Sept and i am so excited i could explode. i have quite alot organised

    Venue booked and paid for
    photographer booked
    flowers ordered
    rings ordered
    Cake Ordered
    dress bought
    veil & shoes bought
    BM dresses bought, although may need altering as one BM told me it fit her and it doesnt, by about 4 inches :-/
    table numbers on with (cross stitching myself)
    Day invites sent out & recieved majority of RSVP's
    All favours about bought (lego figures as my partner & lil boy collect them)
    Hen Do booked

    I think we've only to sort suit hire out and then evening invites.

    my venue provides table plan & DJ so am glad I dont have to think about that as well.

    I think thats about it for now.

    just wanted to say hi really, things are popping up and i might need adivce or a vent, be happy if you ladies maybe help me?

    thanks
