Hi all,
I thought I would reach out and see If there was anyone else from the Bedfordshire area getting married. I just recently moved to Luton from London, so I am finding it difficult to find everything which is needed for a wedding in the area.

Getting married on 15th August.

Were narrowed our venue down to venue 360, but I found out today that decorating the venue is not included in the price, so now I a trying to find a company who will do this for us in the area for a reasonable price. (And its giving me nightmares lol)

I live in Bedfordshire, born and bred, but I'm getting married in Cambridgeshire.. The only thing I can think off it looking on the net and typing it in. I'm pretty sure there should be a good place in Luton that would do the decorations? If not Bedford should have some places around? X

I'm at the uni too!! I'm living in Dunstable!

I'm marrying in Eaton Bray then having the do in Stanbridge which is near leighton buzzard. Go on to the book of face and look for local companies that decorate venues, i know a few as i have flyers from the local wedding fairs. If you need a cake i can help too!

Ahh that's frustrating but i'm sure you'll be able to sort some beautiful decor out for a good price!
If you can't find a venue dresser i know a company on the book of face that can dress venues for a good price too xxx

Yeah that's what I am trying to do @ Showgirl as the venue are trying to push their own suppliers but they are not really the best.

Do you think its ok to have 3 different cake flavours (one for each layer)?

4 Flavours? Wow I love it

I have seen some crazy cake flavours whilst I have been looking. Peanut butter and chocolate.

some I love is Italian rum fruit cake, Strawberry champagne...amaretto.

The Italian rum was so yummy it was like a sponge cake, the cream was so nice against the sponge.

White Chocolate Mud Cake, with lots of Belgian chocolate or Baileys with a baileys cream...mmmm

I love the sound of white chocolate and vanilla champagne cake mmm

Haha, every time i go to my mums house i end up stuffing my face with cake or finishing off some left over butter cream..i'm suprised i'm not the size of a house yet and suprised i still have all my teeth!

I need some will power lol.

We're inviting kids but I already know the best man will be leaving his 3 with their aunt because he and his OH want to just relax and enjoy themselves and not worry about the little ones. I'm pretty sure my cousin will be bringing her one and a half (currently expecting; and deliberately conceived in time to arrive just before the pre-wedding blessing ceremony but I won't get into that). Not sure if the other parents are planning on bringing their bundles of joy along or not.

Out of my 150 people I am counting 26 children under 10. I love my sister, I discussed this with her last night. Her response was if you go out you bring your child's bottle, nappies etc. usually you also bring what keeps them the quietest as to have no scenes. So why am I expected to provide this now. Lol

I just realised its much easier than I thought as the church service is @ 2 so in fact by the time we get to venue it's food, cake, and dancing.

Is anyone opening the floor for their speeches? I've restricted mine, I didn't want people baffling on for hours lol plus most of my other half's family can't speak English so we are having to translate everything so minimal seems the best way to go.
