    Im June 2012 so not too long after yours. How is your planning going, you done much so far?
    We are thinking Jade as our colour theme or maybe Purple, fancy a nice vibrant shade since its the summery months, what about you? Not having a theme really just as long as the colours tie in etc :-)

    That sounds lovely Tinsel....if you are after a Fri or Sat wedding I would start looking asap, as they are popular dates and get snapped up fast. We only had a choice of 5 Sats for the whole of 2012 so we were very lucky to get the 23rd of June :-) xx

    We're the 21st of April too!! So far we have only booked the church but are just arranging appointments to go look at some venues. Manage to get our list from 88 places down to 5!! As for colour scheme we haven't fully decided. After googleing it, it came up with pink and green is good for April, so we are considering that. Will work well as we are having a 'tree/spring' theme. Giving everyone a chilli plant as favours, and leaf as name cards, also can be used on the memory tree as tags. Still not asked the bridesmaids or best men.

    we're the 19th May just sorting out insurance and registrar althought the venue is penciled in we took one look and fell in love OH was like 'this is the ONE' lol he so cute sometimes lol anyways we decided on monochrome and blues with silver details like ribbons etc and a kind of disney theme hopefully but not quite sure how to get that theme apart from stationary so any help would be good but wanting oriental lillies as my main flowers and something like forget-me-nots for the blues. Butterflies are gorgeous ideas for weddings but i think i have enough goin on with disney so MIL has to give in lol xx
    we were lucky aswell our registrar is just getting the book for 2012 so yeay!!!

    Like Kirsty I am a June 2012 b2b - but have decided on lilac and platinum as main colours (Ivory 4 me) and a butterfly theme, as all my sisters, myself and my late brother all have a butterlfy tattoo....we have booked registrar and venue and i have a make your own invites, place names etc pack. I have already got my dress, bridesmaid dress and flower girl dresses, but that is all I am doing for now, as i want to enjoy the "buzz" of planning and dont want it to fizzle out! :0)

    Getting married 05/04/2012 and the flowers that are available at that time don't fit into my colour scheme, so i'mseriously thinking about having silk flowers instead. Teal and violet are our colours, venue booked, deposit paid, registrar booked, seen lots of things i like but i haven't really started buying anything.

    We're getting married 21st April and we've booked venue, celebrant, caterer, band, DJ, fireworks, photographer, videographer, dressmaker, kiltmaker, pianist, piper, magician, photobooth and I'm sure there are things we've booked that I've missed. I'm DIYing the cake and we're having a cupcake table, which is rather fun.

    Our colours are white, gold, scarlet, garnet and pale green, but I'm not totally stuck on everything fitting in. We're having something old, something new, something borrowed... something blue (Dr Who reference) with our photobooth and our flowergirls' dresses are based are three different insects (ladybird, bumblebee and dragonfly).

    Yay special sundae we're date buddies. I was 26th October 2012. But now I'm 21st April 12. We have literally just decided and have booked everything today, the registrar was free, the ceremony venue booked us - have to pay deposit by 21st April, the reception venue took our deposit off us tonight. I just got home and my coffees going cold reading through this.....How many brides didn't read the April part of the title?? He he he we all get excited!

    I'm now a married woman
    I have a gorgeous husband
    Whats to do now

    21st is a popular date coz that's our wedding day too!

    Giving notice on Wednesday, and paying the venue deposit immediately after. That's pretty much as far as we've gotten. I've chosen burgundy - not a spring colour, but it's my favourite and I'm looking at including gerberas in my bouquet somewhere. Actually sounds like I've planned more than I realised!

    I'm 21st April 2012 too!

    H2B is an Arsenal fan so our colours are red/white/cream. :0)

    Church booked and deposit paid, reception booked and paid for in full (thanks nan!), dress tried on and fits perfectly (my something borrowed and therefore free!), my aunties a photographer so thats sorted too and the videographer is booked.

    I think thats it so far! Anyone else having trouble with guestlist politics?!

    Lol SpecialSundae and NikkyPickles!

    We had 170 and thought that was too many (i also have a large family!) so we made some cuts but got a bit too carried away and have cut too many people off!

    Still, we have 10 months to go so i think i'll come back to it!

    I'm now an April 2012 bride as my August 2011 Wedding venue cancelled on me! Lol More time to save for the day though. We're thinking Purple (Cadbury's purple) and maybe green as our colour scheme to go with my Scottish Fiance's kilts. Just praying we don't all have April showers on our special days! xxx

    Yeah STTMB2B, how did you do that?! It makes my head ache to think about what there is to do. I'm reduced to adding a few guests to the list per night at the minute! Haha. H2B made me laugh, he said worst case scenerio we have the church booked and the reception paid for and the DJ is my sisters husband so we can get married, have a drink and a boogie if nothing else!xx

    Ours initially invoiced us for £1200 more than their list price, by accident. When I corrected it they apologised, laughed about it and sent out a correction. I'm glad I'd been checking their website regularly or we wouldn't have saved that money. :-D
