Keira 1k for such a short distance is ridiculous! Our cars are going about 20 minutes to the church and then 20-30 to the reception!
Hope you find some better prices soon and congrats on booking your church! My vicar made out that he wouldn't be able to marry us in the church because we weren't christened there and then he goes "but seeing as both sets of parents were married here you're very much welcome to marry here too" I could have cried! Walking down the aisle does seem like the scariest part right now! I'll probably trip over my dress! Plus my aisle is tiny! My dad'll have to walk behind me at this rate lol :-)
Hope everyone's planning is going well! Going to finish our std's soon and get them all sent out!

We're only sending them so people have a little reminder because a lot of people coming work shifts so will need to book it off x

We are sending std's magnets out at the end of July too and invites to follow in jan x

eeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkk i'm so excited someone is selling 'the dress' brand new, not worn, not altered, not even collected from the shop, with the additional cap sleeves - if i bought it from the shop with the sleeves would cost around £1400, they selling it for £800!

Does anyone know how much it costs for alterations?

we are sending STD's one year before (May) and then the invites in the following jan

When did you send them Lana?


I'm completely torn, I think all my options are lovely

I likes the idea of sending them now-ish.... but then wonder if we should wait until after the engagement celebrations.... and I also like the idea of trying to get them to arrive exactly a year before the wedding (but I couldn't hold off that long on sending them lol)

Sent ours STD invites last week as most of my family book hoildays well in advance

The dress ive chosen is one that will be made new for me, im currently a size 14 and told the lady in the dress shop that i want to loose weight. So im going back in january next year to get re measured before they get it made.

Ive chosen my dress but I get remeasured in Jan and the dress gets ordered in that size not the size I am now. Summer 2015 holiday will go on sale depending on tour operator from oct/nov 2014 Flights generally go on sale 11 months before

Def seems like the safe option

Nicky noticed you have less than a year now until your big day (so exciting)
We have to make an appointment to give notice in july, my H2B needs to get a passport has his is about 4 years our of date, and apparently it is a must for proof of ID, other wise he has to take in his parents birth certificates, the only trouble with that is he hasn't seen his dad for over 15 years so thats near impossible. I know he needs a passport anyway because we plan on cyprus for our honeymoon., but I don't think its fair that they expect everyone to have one these days

Omg ladies I've just purchased my wedding shoes lol so exciting xx

Wow that's fab Kerrie, I was told May so a little earlier then expected. More of a reason to get my save the dates out as well ;) just in case someone decides to book their Summer holiday early hehe

Urrrgh I hate when venues mess you around; we were told our venue package would be £1535 which was really good and then an extra £200 for buffet (extra guests); now they have turned round and said the package price is now £2014 as the price she sent me originally was for October 2012; apparently the £2014 price is only for the first 6 couples who book there and then it goes to £3500...

I know; grrr but taking h2b to see another venue at some point as he was working when I went to a wedding fayre :S

I've seen my ring for £200 it fits lovely with my engagement ring. H2b has seen one online for £50

time is flying, eeek! Yes Amanda you're right. We won't get our passports renewed in time to give notice. H2b was born the year before the law changed in 1983 so he doesnt need to take his mum's birth certificate, but I was born in 1988 so I have to take my mum's birth certificate.

Yes, I'll take the paperwork, just to be safe! Xx

I'm not sure what to have on our top table AqTi, we have two small candelabra's, one for each end, but don't know whether to keep the middle plain or have something there...

These are our centrepieces they will be on the top table too. We aren't having the candles. It having purple crystals as well as clear.

Flowers are a good idea for top table

Thats excellent Nicky x

Amazing x

How old your daughter Amanda?

Amazing Nicky, my bils dad is doing ours at a ridiculously cheap price.

Lana my daughter is 10 years, so finding the dress for her was a challenge. Kids want to be so grown up before their time, but we found a good comprimise and she will look like a little princess on our big day. Just hope she doesn't steel the lime light haha

My 2 are junior bridesmaids at 10 and 7 but mainly because my daughter (the 7yr old) wanted to wear pink
