You are organised . The colours sound amazing . We are waiting till after Xmas etc to get organising xx

So things have been quiet on the wedding front - mainly because we move out 1 week tomorrow so all available money and spare time/effort and energy has gone on the flat! But just updated top and seems that I'm getting worse on what I need to do or have got done - mind keeps changing :(( ooohhhh!!! stress xx

Hi Kayleigh you are getting married on the same day as me. So far I have booked church and venue which includes chair covers centre pieces etc and candy cart. Have also booked photographer, videographer, band & dj, cars, hair and make up and have my dress. Still so much to do!!!!!

Hi Danielle!! ooohhhh date buddies! :D Yeah i've done more or less the same as you, a lot of it at the moment - due to the move - is having the money to complete what i want. We know whats left to get and do etc its just saving every month... also got a call this morning.... MY DRESS HAS ARRIVED!!! -£500 down to pay the rest of that off now (thankfully i kept that saving stash secret so i've got the money to one side lol)

I'm so excited now - roll on saturday when i get to go try it on again!! eeeeep!!

And thanks Flossie, i'm trying theres just so much to do - i swear i'm never going to move again lol xx

Oh I loved it more then I remembered! And now knowing its all mine!! Eeeeeeppppp!! :D makes it all the more real/exciting. Even the Bridal shop staff all said how easily I was walking around in it and how happy my face was - my mum cried! It was just such a beautiful experience!! xx

Hahaha MrsK, I would be the same. I was bad enough with my bridesmaids dresses, had to give them to my mum to look after to get them out of my sight!! x

Kayleigh my mum picked out my dress and I was like no way and said to the lady in the shop I will try it on to keep mum happy. It was the 4th dress I tried on and didn't want to take it off lol didn't try any after that as I just loved it. I booked a singer to sing in hotel lobby (pre dinner) today. Another thing ticked off the list!!

I haven't made my mind up on colours yet Kayleigh I was originally thinking purple like inbetween lilac and Cadbury very different I no lol but I'm now thinking on dusky pink. Thinking ona rustic theme seen a naked cake today I love! My hubby to be wants royal blue suits. What about u?x

Oh sounds lovely Kayleigh!! My hubby to be wants bow ties lol. I think I'm
Gonna go ahead and book the naked cake! I'm trying to find a church singer at the minute which is proving to be a lot more expensive than I thought!!x

You managed to find a singer yet Danielle?

Were all settled in the flat now so have now designed and will be ordering our STD cards ready to send out May/June this year! I pick my wedding dress up tomorrow and that will be staying at my mums house :D

Ooooohhhhh I'm getting so excited again now!!! xx

Thanks Flossie! Their my faves too!! I just wanted something simple but nice to the eye for the STD then go all out for the invitations as I'm planning on making them myself lol!! xx

Ooohh i like the sound of that! :D were not sending them out till June but I want to get them ordered in and ready for when we do need to send lol xx

I agree with that! I had a mini breakdown when i attempted to start the STD cards - my printer wouldnt work and then i ended up chucking it back in the draw and i havent looked at it since - but OH is going to help me with the invitations and theres so much i want them to say and ways I want them to be and i refuse to pay £2/3 per invite! Plus doing the invites for the evening people.... it works out far too much money! xx

Aw thank you Flossie!! How you getting on? haven't been on for a while been so busy :( xx

yeah same here to be honest - most things are booked and are just being paid off so theres not an awful lot for us to do either - although I did buy 'bridesmaid' bracelets yesterday from book of the face as part of their gift :) xx
