I was looking at budget again this morning and I can't believe how well it's all fallen into place, by now I thought we would be really having to save every last penny but we are doing ok.
CommentAuthorAprilS61
I've been very organised from the start lol.
OH put the playlist together last night for our music in the background and he said he enjoyed it because it's something he took control of.I said you can do that with pretty much everything you know lol he doesn't have to wait for me to give him a job!
My hen is on Friday, we're going to Liverpool :)

Ours savings are going great too, we only need to save another 1k, although we will also need to save for our honeymoon clothes, spends & excursions.
April we haven't even thought about music yet, I think this might be something the vicar will be going through with us this saturday.
Whovian your flowergirl dress is beautiful & your Dr who stamps & seal are fab. I showed them to my stepson who is a huge Dr who fan & he was amazed by them, he has now added the stamps to his birthday list lol.
CommentAuthorDonnaH39
I'm sure you will look lovely April, you have time for your red to calm down by Friday.
I'm thinking of wearing a yellow dress I bought for the honeymoon for my hen do, but that means I need to lose a bit more weight before then as it doesn't fit at the moment-but I refused to buy the bigger size.
CommentAuthorMrsRobson2Be
I've ordered some new wedding shoes, I've been ogling then for a while, just checked & they had 20% off. I had a gift voucher so only had to pay under £10 for them :)

CommentAuthorAmandaK74
we have also done well with saving for the wedding even though our budget has nearly doubled from our original estimate, I did not realise how expensive wedding related things were. However we haven't gone too overboard with things and we have managed fine while been able to have the things that are important to us. We have paid for our honeymoon and have 6 months to now save our spending money ect.

MOH had said she does not think she will be able to go on hen. I get the feeling ages not that fused about even being bm, my other are the ones organising everything. I'm wondering if she just said yes because she felt obligated coz she is my cousin.

My cat is obsessed with boxes too!
I read all your posts daily but haven't had much to share with you just lately.
But I've finally got some news...my dress is in the shop! Going next Thursday to try it on with my shoes, undies ect. Going to play with veils too.
And our venue wants us to do our 3 month review and menu tasting soon too. Although the wedding planner is leaving this week. They've got someone else starting mid March, but this will be the third wedding planner we've had. Got to run her through everything again. It's a bit close to the wedding so I'm not happy it's someone else. Let's hope she's good.

Fab news on your dress Leasa & nice to see you back posting x
When my dad visited a few days ago he showed me some of the iced flowers he's been making for my cake, he's made 100 so far No idea how many he'll need??

This is the look were going for but he's done the flowers to match my bouquet, except the lily. He added the lily as he needed a more substantial flower to place an iced butterfly above, using clear wire to give the effect that it's flying.

So exciting see things come together!!

Don't even talk to me about cats and boxes! I brought home 3 boxes the other day one for wedding stuff, one for the junk under my bed and one for my cat Kitty, Bill isn't that bothered by boxes it's bags with him. Anyway I gave kitty her box thinking is be able to get on and fill the others ...wrong, I popped to make a drink and came back and found bill sitting on top of the wedding stuff in the one box and kitty in the junk box!

When I was at my mum's at the weekend my brother was trying to build some flat pack furniture but the cat kept sitting on bits of the packaging and at one point the wooden sides of a bookcase. She looked so cute it was impossible to move her! Cats are awesome :)

Aww I miss having a cat! OHs family are all very 'dog' but I was brought up with cats and they hate them :( so I said to OH if I can't have a cat, he can't have a dog lol.
I'll put a link on my wall of where we're to, it better be good because it's £200 a night it's fair to say I was a little resistant lol.
Those flowers are gorgeous btw! X

CommentAuthorElizabethF49
For some reason it wouldnt let me copy/paste into above post/ what do you ladies think?
Hope you are well and all your wedding plans are going smoothly.
I am writing to inform you that One Fine Day changed hands on Tuesday 24th February.
The change of ownership is due to a change in my family circumstances as my husband has been fortunate in receiving a promotion which will mean that the family is moving abroad. Having spent 10 years building a successful business, the decision to move has been extremely difficult.
However, I am delighted to be transferring the running of the business over to two extremely talented cake designers/bakers, business partners Salome and Selina. Salome has worked with me seasonally for the last 8 years and is a highly skilled and qualified confectioner with 18 years’ experience in the industry. She has worked as a college lecturer for the past 5 years and regularly hosts her own cake decorating Master Classes around Glasgow. Selina has worked in the bakery industry for 30 years, and worked on the QE2 as a baker and confectioner. Selina is also a college lecturer in the bakery department at the City of Glasgow College working alongside Salome and together they made a wonderful cake as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. As they both have the same passion for attention to detail as me I am confident that One Fine Day is in very safe hands.
I confirm that all details of your order will remain the same and Salome and Selina are looking forward to meeting you on 30th May to finalise your cake details.
Kindest regards and best wishes for the future.
Claire

They sound like they have alot of experience & you will probably be in very safe hands. Have you tried g00gling them to see if any of there cakes/reviews come up?
I agree with Emily in that if your unsure ask to have a tasting session.
CommentAuthorElizabethF49
I suppose its more of the unknown more than anything. the cakes we tasted were out of this world and our cake isnt exactly cheap. Ill speak to my oh tonight and see what he thinks, we have our cake tasting at the end of may so even if we go and dont like thier cakes (which im sure they will be just as amazing) then we still have time to go elsewhere.

Maybe see if you can go in earlier Elizabeth for the cake tasting? If you don't like the new people then 3 months is not a great deal of time to source a new supplier, especially for an August wedding :/
I had the most awful migraine today so I've been in bed until now but I'm a bit more lively and getting excited about picking my ring up later!
