    Any April 2014 brides out there? I feel like it's so far away so have only booked the venue so far. We are getting married Easter weekend - well the Thursday before Good Friday so our families can stay for the whole weekend (we don't get together much). Getting married on the Thursday also saved us nearly half the price for the venue!

    I felt like this is but trust me 2 years flys past! I've been married 3 months and it still feels like yesterday I was thinking about venues. I'll be hopefully celebrating my two year anniversary when you get married :)

    p.s. thursday was the day I married too - book things now to reap the cost savings as things are due to go up next year

    Hello Helen :)

    Have you booked anything yet? I think I am getting too excited. I'd have it all sorted by next week if I let myself! I'm having to use all my self control to stop myself planning and booking!!

    Hiya!

    We're going to pay deposit on venue on friday, we've paid deposit on wedding rings (and paying off monthly), chosen photographer (my bosses dad!) and thats it at the mo.

    We've chosen pretty much everything though - we know our cake, colours, flowers etc. WE're getting married and having the reception all at the same place and they do a fantastic package which includes a lot of things (table flowers, table plan, place names, menu cards), so that takes a lot of things away!

    We've chosen our entertainment (having a caracaturist in the evening lul between meal and evening guests arriving) and doing the disco via ipod and laptop..

    soo all we need to do really is book it all and pay it all! I'm making invites, favours and jewellery so looking forward to that! My problem is I am constantly looking at other things all the finishing touches and I'm gonna end up with far too much!

    xx

    Sounds like you have it pretty much sorted! It's nice to feel organised, at least you can relax for a while. I know what you mean about finishing touches though - I keep getting excited about little things and know I will end up with far too much!

    It's good that your venue includes so much! We're getting married and having the reception in the same place too - we had a lot of things included but no stationary or flowers so you got a great deal!

    Have you tried on dresses yet? xx

    Yea thats one of the things that really swayed the venue for us is the amount of stress they take out of it!

    Not even thought abiout my dress yet. weight to lose and don't want the styles to change and not love it when it gets closer. prob going to start around xmas time.

    What about you?

    I'm not going to try any dresses until after Christmas because I'm worried il find one I love but then won't love it nearer the time! I have my eye on the Alfred Angelo Disney collection though, those dresses are amazing!

    That sounds lovely! It's always good to go when they have a wedding on - we saw our venue when they had one on and it looked so lovely!
    I've been looking at dresses recently... I may have to give in and go and try some on, I just can't resist the temptation anymore!!xx

    Hiya!!!
    Getting married April 12th and i'm extremely well organised which is amazing for me! Got dress/bridesmaid dresses, got venue, church booked, flowers booked, cars booked, hair/make-up still being organised, almost sorted with the favours although the mens favours are proving a difficult one. Time is flying by so April brides don't think you have ages to go as April will be here in no time at all!!!!! xx

    Actually quite a bit, dress is bought and hanging at my sisters, also got my veil and shoes so I'm pretty much sorted, deposits are paid on everything just have to find the balance. The only major thing we still have to sort are the flowers MIL is doing those for us but is a bit laid back, or maybe I am just a little hyper! I am thinking of selling a kidnet to fund it all, difficult as we are paying for it all ourselves and have three kids, extra cash is not in abundabce

    I kind of feel in limbo now, all deposits are paid and everything sorted so apart from making payments I have nothing much to do and it's driving me mad, I feel like I should be doing something. I have a wobble every now and then in case I've forgotten something but all my 'to do's' are ticked. Does any body else feel this way??

    Less than ten weeks for me too now, this is where all the panic sets in lol.

    I took my dad and 2 eldest boys for suit fittings today, we had our final cake consultation on Saturday and I have the BM's first fitting next Saturday. I'm picking up my wedding ring on Wednesday so after feeling useless for so long it's now all happening!

    We had everything sorted as much as we could by about September.

    We've been twiddling our thumbs since then but knew that once Christmas and New Year were out the way that the time would fly.

    Finalising things and making last minute bits and bobs.

    Can remember when I signed up here it seemed like I had sooooooo many days to go.

    Now its down to double figures!
