    Oh, they are beautiful :)
    Am havin. Bit of a nightmare with my BMs we bought the dresses back in September & both of them said the fit them so I've kept them. Now they tried them on and one BM has about 1/2 inch to loose which isn't a lot but the other BM (maid of honour) has about 4-5 inches :-/ tbh can't see it happening she has a v large bust and it's the zip the won't go up.

    It's a designer jenny packham dress not sure if it'll be able to be altered.
    Would it be unreasonable for me to ask her to pay for either alterations or a new dress? First bit of wedding stress for me :(

    On a plus note, me n Mr Green opened a saving jar we've been putting £1 & £2 coins in and it's got over £400 in it :)

    Xxxx

    Wow, sonya those dresses are gorgeous! Love the colour! Where did you get them from? I've seen some similar that I want to order but they're on the bay of e and not confident about ordering them! Need to get them ordered soon! X

    Lindsay - that's not good, are the dresses the kind you can get a panel and lace up back added to? Great news about the jar though! We've got one of those you have to break open so can't do it yet, we have a rule that all £2 coins have to go in it so not sure how much we'll have.

    Joey - they're D3ssy dresses from a bridal boutique in New York, it was just so much cheaper to get them from there cos they're about £225 each here but got both including all postage etc for around £270. The website is just called bridesmaids.

    Hi! We just ordered them from cancer research. They have a suggested donation per pin badge but it's at your discretion but we did donate the value they suggest cos we figured anything less would eat into what actually going into the charity rather than the cost of the pins

    Dresses are beautiful Sonya. I'm going to magaluf for 3 nights for my hen party, there's 10 of us going but the mum's etc aren't going so I'll do a dinner & drinks night in august including everyone that wants to be included. The time is flying in now, really need to tighten my spending lol I'm so scared of not budgeting for something and then not having enough money! Still need to organise shoes & jewellery for my bm's

    i bought bridesmaid dresses y/day without the bridesmaids with me lol. i feel really naughty haha. got them comin g to try them on over the next two weeks so i can take them back if they arent right, they are knee length so its only really the tall girls im worried about as dont really want dresses up their backsides! fingers crossed they fit

    almost finished my flowers as well, ive got my flower girls posies done, the buttonholes (which i now have too many of, derp) and my bm pomanders, jut mine and the corsages for the mothers to do now!

    made a decicion on the centre pieces and the favours as well, my friend is making cake pops to tie in with the theme of each table and the centre pieces will tie in too. for the Game of Thrones table we will be having a glass goblet/bowl thingy with dragon eggs in them (knitted ones haha)

    The Breaking Bad table is just going to have a bowl full of blue 'meth'

    so its actually turning out easier than i originally thought, especially now tom is getting involved!

    Good luck Vicky, we had ours in March and there's nothing to worry about. In fact we really enjoyed it! We met other couples getting married at around the same time, and had lots of tea and cake! We also got a guided tour of the church and a chance to speak to the organist and flower lady etc, and the organist even played some music for us. We got given a book of prayer and another book about marriage to keep too. It was fab! X

    It's only cos he'd been putting twenty pound notes and stuff in as well as coins...I still have the money pot which breaks to open when that gets full so hopefully will have a fair whack in that,as all our engagement money went straight in there...don't want to rely on that tho,so opening that once it gets full!
    We're stressing a bit at the mo,still got about £5k to find from thin air lol...not really funny but can't help it! Stressful!

    We wasn't going to have table wine either because we feel most of the time only half the ppl on the table like wine so why should they get it all? Plus we can't afford really to bump prices up anymore,...the bars open so they can go there and ppl are already getting a toast drink and arrival drink, we would just rather have food that's more special like the canapés and the fact the meal is by a 2michelin starred chef than have a haphazard half way meal with wine
    His mum wasn't happy either but then it's not her wedding, and she's already got her way with getting us to invite a couple more of his cousins, so we've said no definitely to that one, we don't want loud,laughing drunkards before the evening even starts!

    Finally got the invites ready to send out so will be posted tomorrow

    Had a dilemma about fg dresses, this first one was my original choice but then saw this one that I think ties in with my dress better and it's from Mons00n where h2b's cousin works so can get 50% discount

    well 4 months yesterday for me which is very exciting. The only thing that's causing a problem is my hen do. I wish I'd never decided on a weekend away. People agree to one things then they change their mind. People dropping out grrr. I actually ended up in tears earlier (at work even worse!) and asking my sister to find out about cancelling it all. The wedding has been brilliant and enjoyable to organise but the hen do is really stressing me out. I cant wait for it to be over :-(
