Supose im just trying to hold on to her innocence haha, and if she is happy then so are we

Im sure she will be fine, when they are young the fetch the aww factor to the day x

Hope everything goes well for you hun x

MrsWade2b sorry you have had to postpone, but I'm sure your date will come round quickly for you... and you'll have your perfect wedding :)

I'm not so worried about the mishaps, one of the reasons I'm not sure about asking is I feel mean stealing her from her Daddy, I'm already stealing his wife to be a bridesmaid and he has said he is looking forward to his Daddy and daughter day

on the upside we get married a year today, HURRAH :)
in fact this time next year il be sitting down to my weddign breakfast as Mrs M :)

how is everyone?

Hi mundith congratulations on booking your wedding x

Dont worry about it Christina, if its the one its the one! I have already choose my dress. So has many other brides on here who have at least 12 months to go until their day

I've ordered my dress and paid the deposit, I love my dress and wouldn't imagine I could change my mind. The dress is very me.

I was at a wedding fayre last week and I just didn't look at the dresses plus any of the dresses that I did see just didn't match mine lol.

I ordered my dress and my mum paid the deposit, ages ago, I took some good pics of me in it to remind me why I love it, when I have wobbles.

That's fab MrsMalin2b :D

we managed the same with venue decoration, found someone with a good package and then they had half price candy cart if you bought the package, but then we found someone else who didn't do packages, but that meant we just asked for what we wanted so cut out all the extra's in the package we weren't bothered about and although we paid full price for the candy cart the whole lot came out loads cheaper and the stuff looks a lot better. The candy cart looks way better, centre pieces are a lot nicer ect. sometimes the packages really aren't that good value if you're paying for stuff you don't actually want.

I'm no longer a 2015 bride... I'm now a 2014 bride! We've moved our wedding up to July this year. No specific date but the registry office have lots of availability and we're giving our notice of marriage on the 3rd March so will book a new date then.

After the ceremony we'll all come back to our house for a lovely summer bbq. No fuss, no faff, no stress. Perfect! :) x

That sounds so nice an easy and simple nicky!

Have a nice holiday Amanda! X

MrsMalin2b that's a great deal :) a lot of our decoration is included in or wedding venue package. Have you decided on a venue?

Amanda have a great break (im ever so slightly jealous

Nicky congrats on bringing the wedding forward sounds like a great plan:)

AgTi that must make you feel great when you hear him practising and knowing hes playing your wedding.

Me ive had a very productive weekend it was the Scottish wedding show this weekend and I went with my sister ive only gone and ordered my cake I just love it cost a bit more than budgeted for but still I love it. the only change we will make to this is the ribbon it will either be H2bs tartan or the tartan of the rest of the bridal party.

I have now decided im going for real flowers rather than artificial got a fantastic quote today and they looks so much nicer than the artificial ones I had my eye on. Invites are giving me a sore head as we just cant decide on a design and there is so many to choose from.

We were listening to some first dance songs last night and although its not a traditional first dance song I am considering Ohs suggestion of nickelback: never gonna be alone.

I don't really have much more to organise the next biggest thing is the coaches will need to sit down and think who will def be using the coach and who will be staying over.

That cake is amazing ElizabethF49 :)

Yes we have chosen our venue; not our dream one (way too expensive) but just as good :) Going to email them to see when we can put the deposit down :)

Hi Ladies,

Im new to all this but I booked my wedding on saturday for september 2015, Im so excited and cant wait to start planning some more, everyone is saying " you think you have enough time but you really dont".....

I mean I thought i had more then enough time to do stuff? Has anyone else started this far ahead of time?
I just dont want to get all excited and start planning now and it not neccessary.

Please help :)

Thank you

Donna - I think that sounds lovely. Id probably have men in green with a yellow flower button hole, with ladies in yellow, with green belt and flowers to match, but of course its up to you. We're having pink and orange with men/BMs wearing pink but having orange flowers. I like mix and match colours.

I'm still thinking two colours, but going to see if I can convince my fiancé to have purple and yellow instead... if not I think I'll stick with the green and yellow but def have the bridesmaids in yellow with green accents as the green really is dark and I think it takes over a bit.

If you search for purple and yellow weddings there are some gorgeous flowers you can have with that scheme. I love pink and orange as well, someone showed us it when they were showing us venue decoration and it is stunning. Fiancé wouldn't agree to that one though.


Ashley, we got engaged on new years eve and started looking at venue's straight away, by mid Jan we had booked a venue and on the first of Feb we booked the Church (which was a massive relief I was starting to worry we'd have a venue but not actually get married lol) I have all my big things booked now except for flowers :) I'd rather book things early and give myself time to change my mind and make sure we have the things we really want booked rather then rushing and having everything already booked by other weddings. As you can see I've already changed my mind on the colour scheme and that was after saying for years that I'd want a green colour scheme when I got married.

Haha I did think it was very Spring/Eastery, but think it works for summer as well, much better then hunter green


And he's come home and he really likes it :D

I think we'd sort of been railroaded by ourselves into thinking we had to have the hunter green as they didn't have the emerald green for the suits and because the venue is very very nice we needed a formal scheme as well. But feel like a weight has been lifted :) we both feel more comfortable with it and can work around what colours they have for the suits, also just because the venue is very very nice doesn't mean a less traditional/formal colour scheme wouldn't work :)

Yeah I think it will work well with our venue, but we did feel at first that we had to stick with formal because it's a lovely stately home, we felt we needed to stick with that as a theme, but there's no reason to do that :) Hunter green is def more autumnal and it's been bothering me for a while now.


Now I just need to hope neither of my bridesmaids mind being in a yellow dress.... as I'd prefer the yellow dress with purple accessories I think.

We are going to our venue on Wednesday to put the deposit down :)

Thanks everyone, I just loved the cake the first time I saw it and loved it again at the weekend, I'm so happy h2b said just to get it :-)

Donna I think it will look ok with the different colours, people think I'm nuts that my h2b and our son will be in different kilts to the rest of the guys. Glad h2b liked your idea of purple (purple is our colour scheme mostly) I think your right about yellow dresses with purple accessories.

Ashleyk2 congrats on booking your wedding, I've pretty much organised everything and I don't get married to August 2015.

Lana that's a great saving on your venue, why does your mil want to bring wine in does the venue not do wine? Ask the band if they have played your venue before and see what they say. I'd be gutted if I found a band and the venue was too small. I so jealous you've sorted a seating plan I actually dread doing ours.

Xx

Well I've seen a dress I really like and showed it to my bridesmaids, who both really like it. But are insisting I wait until I find my dress, which is fair enough I suppose :p

Just worried about possibly needing a spray tan, but we've agreed we're going to either all go and tan together so we're the same colour or none of us tan. Will wait till we all have our dresses and decide whether we need it or not

I think having your h2b and your son in the same colour but different to others is a lovely idea, my h2b wants to be the only one in a top hat and people have said that's silly, but it's his wedding if he wants the monopoly on top hats he can do ;)

Maybe do what I do and see how you feel in your dress first, then if you can have a spray tan well before to see how it looks before making the decision.

I look great with a tan but like you the only time I've had one is coming back from holiday and I don't think I can afford a break just to get a tan lol.


My bridesmaids getting one or not is purely going to be based on whether I need one I think :p but saying that if they think they'll be washed out in yellow, I think I would look washed out in white or ivory

Hi ladies,

I'm new to this forum and wedding planning!! We've been engaged since 2008 but together since 2004. We recently booked our wedding for 9th May 2015. We're so excited! We're meeting with a fantastic photographer on Sunday after meeting her at a wedding fayre at our venue on Sunday, along with a fab cake maker, dj and company to do stationary!! Off to the wedding show on Saturday and so excited to look at dresses :-)

Love reading all your stories about your wedding plans! x

Lana - good idea with the table plan seating. I have been using the one on here but would be so much easier to have it to hand!

MrsKCtobe - welcome, and congrats on booking your wedding. Time will fly by. We got engaged last July and seems the last 7 months went by in a flash!

Donna - have you tried any dresses yet? Try on every style going as you probably wont end up with what you thought you would!
