My Chinese wedding dress arrived today and it looks brilliant, will wait for h2b to come home to put it on and get a pic for you - we're wearing these the night before the wedding so it's ok for him to see, before you all panic!

In one pic it doesn't look as red but that's because I was standing in front of the blue fishtank light - dress was still creased from the post, and H2B is rubbish at taking pics as he's a lot taller than me, but you get the idea :-)

OMG we forgot about getting our passports and birth certificates certified and when i realised we were on a mad rush to find someone. People were quoting stupid money to just confirm that the copies made were true copies of the originals. My sister called today and has called the solicitor she did her school work experience with and he has told me to come in tomorrow for them to be signed and for FREE!!! Will have to buy him a drink of some kind. x
Leave for Jamaica in 2days!!!
18/06/12 I'll become a wifey...I'll marry my best friend!!!

60 days! Make up trials on Wednesday. Just want my dress to be ready now... C x
CommentAuthorZoe81
I freaked out yesterday, 2 months to the day!? Argh! Soooo nervous but excited too, feel like I want it all to slow down now. Think part of it is because I don't want it all to be over.
Bridalmiss looks amazing hun bet your very pleased with it!
60 days guys, finished one waistcoat and having to wait for the best man to try it on in case his needs to be a bit bigger, lol Starting on my son's waistcoat today and finishing off my sisters dress for her to try on monday!
Seems like I've still got too much to do, got 4 evening invites to make. Then I'm just going to buy a packet of ready made ones because I'll be out of time otherwise. Got to decorate the post box, kids are designing it as we speak, god help us, lol Doing CD cases at the moment eg. With your camera have some fun Get some pictures of everyone Maybe you'll see something We didn't see So take home this shiny new CD And send it back our way For us to enjoy your memories of Our very special day.
Labels for the lollies also need to be done as they are also place names, and might stick some butterflies on the guest book to brighten it up a bit.
Still looking for cheap disposable cameras, seen 10 for £20, is this good?
Well better get on or I'll have wasted another day xx

hi, im a june 2012 bride, we get married on the 30th and i am so looking forward to it. we have been organised for some time now and all the main things inc church, BM dresses, Dress, suits, flowers, rings, Cars, photographer, videographer, wedding singer, cake, venue dressing etc is booked aswell as our honeymoon to jamaica. we have been paying off as we have gone along and done really well, april and may are our last two months of actual saving for the big day and i cant wait for the saving part to stop hahaha. glad we have been organised otherwise wouldn't have stood a chance of having the day we both wanted. just hope we have the weather on our side with it being the end of june, fingers crossed! good luck to all u june brides :-) x
CommentAuthorbridalmiss
Goodness you're organised, we were like that too till last week when I realised the next 2 months would entail final meetings with all our suppliers (arranged separately, not through our venue etc) and getting RSVPs back for final numbers so we can confirm stuff! We have the money saved up ok but it's just finalising all the minor details which has proved slightly more fiddly that we originally thought!
CommentAuthorlovelylainee
yeah we have been very organised but is surprising what things you have to do last minute to check everything is ok. Especially when you booked everything so far in advance it will be good to remember what i actually ordered! lol xxx

Paid off my honeymoon a couple of weeks ago, had the wedding breakfast menu tasting last week (which has made me even more confused about what to choose!), final dress fitting next week! Got to chase up the last few naughty people who haven't RSVP'ed and then maybe I can relax a bit!!! x

No no, the wedding is 7 weeks this Sunday, which means our rehearsal is 6 weeks away! And we still have orders of service to print, centrepieces to make and my final dress fitting before then - yikes!!
CommentAuthorRockabilly chick
Time is going fast! Sorting out the last few bits but still have bridesmaid shoes to get and havent booked a dress fitting yet......
Is everyone having a rehearsal dinner? I havent thought about that yet....
Oh dear lots to do and 8 weeks to go :-)

23rd June for me.......71 days and counting. All falling into place nicely :-) xx
CommentAuthorbridalmiss
Yes we've a pre-wedding dinner the night before - the rehearsal is a week before so we may have something low key for that - the pre-wedding dinner is 70 adults already and we're paying for the wedding the next day too!
CommentAuthorRockabilly chick
Wow, thats a lot of people to buy dinner for lol. I havent arranged anything for before the wedding, is that ok do you think?
Im going to the hotel on the Friday to prepare the venue though
xxxxxxxxx
CommentAuthorbridalmiss
That's fine, and the norm too - we're only doing it because a lot of our guests will have travelled for the wedding (all over the UK, and Singapore, US and Canada!) so we thought it would be nice to have a pre-get together so guests can mingle, and we can see them as on the day it'll probably be a bit of a blur!
CommentAuthorlovelylainee
we're not having a rehearsal or pre wedding dinner so i wouldn't worry rockabilly hun. I didn't want the unnecessary expense! x

We're not having a pre-wedding dinner either, it's hard enough trying to get people together for one day let alone two in a row! lol x
WARNING:

CommentAuthorlovelylainee
lol yeah i know what you mean - getting RSVP's from some people is like pulling teeth!
Just a few things left to sort. Need to get hold of one of my BMs to sort her dress, have to get the other 2 over to try theirs on again and make sure they fit properly
As for stationery just order of day and menus to print. Can't buy flowers for mum's till nearer the time. Waiting for my table crystals to turn up. Have to do table plan and get printed off and write out place cards. Just the small things really
Very excited now but a little stressed too knowing what needs to be paid when. The day after will be the best bit knowing i don't have to save anymore, it will all be paid off and i can relax on my honeymoon! x

I have to do order of service because it's a church, most other places don't have them!
I've just finished my order of service and post box, just need to sort out place names and table plan, which is really difficult without the rsvp's!!! ARGH!!!

CommentAuthorhlaraine1
our pre wedding dinner will be a trip to the local chippy, as people will be arriving all day, my kids and grandkids are staying in our house and the rest of the family in a local hotel. i told them all you can be here for an evening meal but you all fetch and pay for your own lol. wedding is the 16th june then 17th june is my 50th birthday so will be open house here for people to pop in especially my family before they set off back to birmingham. its going to be a busy weekend. will be ready for our few days away which starts on the monday
CommentAuthorZoe81
We're not having a rehersal or pre-wedding dinner - no money for anythng like that! We've jsut got to finish off the paperwork for the registrar, place cards and tble plan is being made by a friend and table plan is already done (as long as Best Man actually does come!? - there is another thread about that drama "Best Man doesn't feel comfortable so quits?!!!?) Got our pre-wedding photo-shoot next Saturday - as long as the photographers turn up?! Still havent heard form the dress shop to say my dress has arrived - they did say easter so hopefully it'll be here next week but think I might ring them today and find out whats happening although I'm sure I'm panicing for nothing?!! I ordered my bridesmaids dresses late (I didn't realise they took so long to come in) and BM dress fittings are 20th May. Still have my brother to sort out (he's suffering from depression at the moment and hardly speaking to anyone never mind thinking about my wedding - but I can't get married without him there and we want him to be an usher - but he'll have to get measured up by the end of this month if he's going to do that) To top all thta off work is horrific at the moment and stressing me out, never mind the wedding planning, depressed brother and uncomfortable best man?!

CommentAuthorFuture Mrs Doublé
we are not having a pre wedding dinner, all we are having the day before wedding is the Church rehearsal, to make sure important people know what to do on the day, and in afternoon/evening when family arrives (from where they live) we'll have a BBQ at our house only with close family though (parents, grandparents and bridesmaids, witness, usher and best man and their partners. I am getting frustrated and worried now as I have requested rsvp until 30th April for day guest and sent a reminder on facebook to the 12 people who didn't rsvp and only four of them came back saying they are coming the rest didn't bother replying, I thought they'd have at least the decency to let me know for Heaven's sake, well as they've had a reminder if I don't hear from them by the date they'll be crossed off my list
Soon to be Mrs Gary Doublé
Everything is now booked
Getting really stressed and excited now

Future Mrs Double, sorry for butting in but on the reminder date send them all something to say "sorry you are unable to attend, hope to catch up soon!" Reason being it will just stress you out if they actually show up on the day and you haven't catered for them!
Well 7 weeks today for me!!!!
Just finished the boys waistcoats so will try and stick some pictures on the DIY thread later, getting quite excited now xx

CommentAuthorZoe81
OMG!!! Just found out yesterday that my dress has not arrived in the shop yet (I was originally told it would be here at Easter). The lady has chased it up and it's gone astray somewhere between canada and bolton, so the supplier is sending another!??!!!
I've been told it will be in England on 14/15th May - luckily they come into Warrington so the lady from the shop is going to drive over herself and pick it up rather than wait for it to be delivered to them. I've got my first fitting on the 19th May and my second fitting on 26th May (1 week before the day!). Hopefully it'll fit fine (the same was the right length and everything with my shoes, just a little big so ordered a size down) first time and will only need some cups putting in (it's got a really low back so no chance of finding a bra). She said she'd make sure she had some cups in the right size in the shop ready for my first fitting and that a week is more than enough for any alterations to be made.
I'm hoping then on my 2nd fitting that I can just pick it up and tkae it home with me, I'm heading up to my Mum's on the 29th May and obviously can't leave the dress for my H2B to collect!

It was nice having a read though at everyone elses panics :-) I now feel it is perfectly fine for me to have my mini wobbles over the small things. We have the money all saved and gradually paying everyone off, but its things like decorating the wishing well/postbox thing, making up the centre pieces, printing the OOS and ordering the pew ends that keep getting me
Oh and along with the things I need to pack for the evening and the next day inc plasters for my feet etc lol
CommentAuthorKath2010
I need to get bridesmaid shoes, does any one have any ideas?
Need an adult size 1 & 4.
Ideally would like them to match.

CommentAuthorMrsAndrew2B
Kath I still need to get bridesmaid shoes too, it's the only thing left now. Next do bridesmaid type shoes and there's a huge range of sizes. I need a child size 7-8 and an adult 4! Got a feeling a won't get matching ones x
CommentAuthorKaz
I just need shoes for the bride, oops!!!!
Ok this week I have:- decorated the post box Printed out all the lolly labels (using as place cards) Finished both pageboys waistcoats and best mans Bought some disposable cameras Made the activity packs up for the kids, including making up a poem for the photo hunt! Printed out a list of photos to give my friend an idea of what we want Finished my bouquet (needed some ribbon around the stems as the green florist tape was quite sticky. Sent all evening invites out! All gifts ordered for wedding party have arrived, just need to find something for MOB, MOG, girl taking photos and my BIL who is helping with a quiz, ideas welcome?
Things to do next week:- Finish MOH and flowergirl dresses Make waistcoat for the groom Finish the Order of Service, just got to stick butterflies to the front as I had nowhere to store them till the evening invites went out! Make a cake topper Seating plan for reception Decorate the guest book Find a picture of my Dad for my bouquet
Think that's it for next week, only got to pay the car park and kitchen hire which together only come to £50 and the dress alterations which shouldn't be too bad!
Finally getting somewhere

CommentAuthorKath2010
Sounds like you are making good progress Kaz :-)
MrsAndrew I will give Next a look, glad I'm not the only one still to get these, it's so tricky when you have little people as bridesmaids as the sizes change so often. I do feel that 26th May is quite fine on the final bridesmaid dress fitting but hopefully most other things apart from the stag and hen will be done by then.x
CommentAuthorKath2010
Not sure why my counter says 1 month, it's not til 16th June, slightly freaking me out it saying that!
CommentAuthorKath2010
So down in the dumps right now, had my hair trial the other day didn't come away feeling that good. Then Tuesday I had my make up trial and decided to have an eye brow wax too, something I've not done before and won't be doing again as I've had such a bad allergic reaction I look I've done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. This afternoon/evening is the first time that it's shown any sign of calming down but I'm worried now if I will be left with an scaring.
I've got the wedding blues :-(
CommentAuthorZoe81
Sorry you've had a crappy couple of days Kath2010, I'm sure your eyebrows will recover in time - think of it as a good thing that you tried waxing now and not the day before your wedding!
I'm just panicing now - it's soooo close now and there still seems to be loads to do!?!!!

CommentAuthorlovelylainee
if you need bridesmaid shoes that match in children's and adults, try BHS. The adults shoes start from size 3 and only difference is they have proper heels.
Kath your best bet is probably ebay for matching shoes or similar for smaller feet. Or if your adult bridesmaid doesn't mind not wearing heels, then BHS will work as they do similar ones to the adults in size 1 in the kids range.
I have to get my bridesmaid dresses fitted and get my fittings done, sort the menus, table plan and place cards and then I am done apart from paying for it all and going on my hen do! x
