Hello ladies been a little while hope everyone is ok.
Mrs wade the hangers are really nice I was looking at them.
Becci your dress is lovely and I wouldn't worry about the back of the dress until you need to.
Flossie I wanted to do something like that with Oh and he just looked at me as if I was stupid so I took that as a no lol. You could always ask the dj they might be able to do something and I think it a nice idea as it's the same song just a different tempo xx
CommentAuthorSarah D
Flossie speak to your DJ see what he can do or he may know someone who can xx

Lindsey I sort of did. I wanted a little bit of lace in bridesmaid dresses but not too much as there is lots in mines. Although I'm not 100% on bridesmaid dresses yet
That mermaid dress was the one that I didn't choose in the end sorry ladies lol! I posted my actual dress earlier but removed it a little later so it can still be secret for the most of it :)!
CommentAuthorKirstyR386
Hooray we finally booked suits, and OH decided to pay for them in full there and then as he'd been saving up a while to do it so it's one more thing completely sorted. The old doddery man had made the booking correctly on our previous visit when the girl checked for the details but had just stumbled at the final hurdles of printing all the docs and making us pay. Kinda wish we hadnt gone back as we might have got the suits for free lol but then we wanted to be sure the order had gone through!! X
CommentAuthorMrs Jones
Yay - exciting Kirsty. What colours have you gone for? Top / tails? We need to start looking at suits - OH was a slim fit navy one as doesn't want to do the whole top and tails thing as hated his outfit when he was best man and only had the hat for the shortest amount of time possible.

Yay good news Kirsty!
My OH is the same Lindsey, gone for a slim fit navy T3d B@k3r suit, which cost more than someone people spend on a wedding dress!!! Lol. We've gone for grey suits for the groomsmen from n3xt x

Sounds great Flossie - think OH has been thinking that designer too!!! Do the groomsmen wear different to the groom then?!!! Such a mindfield!

Most of the time the groom will wear the same as the groomsmen but my OH just wanted to be different so he stood out as the groom :)

Oh yeah, wouldn't be spending that amount 4 times over!!!! Although MIL is buying OH's suit, so that's a big weight off our shoulders. Spent £160 per suit for the groomsmen anyway which I think is more than enough! xx

My oh wants top and tails so we're just hiring .. It's £100 for the suit then £20 extra for the hat which I thought was fairly reasonable
CommentAuthorDanielleS0709
We are hiring the men's suits too but think as will buy OH his. Are you ladies buying shoes for the men or asking them to get there own?

Also are you putting the 2 dads in suits like groomsmen?

CommentAuthorFlossie
As we paid for the suits we're asking the guys to pay for their own shirts and shoes. But we are getting everything else like ties, belts, tie slides, cufflinks etc.
Our dads are both in the same suit. OH's dad is one of his best men though. But I think we would have had him in the same suit anyway xx

We were going to hold out another while on rings but the price of gold is containing to rise so went ahead and got them. I went for different than I intended to now I'm thinking did I make right decision lol although it matches my engagement ring very well. Wish I had of taken a photo

We both still want to lose weight so don't want to have to get them resized so waiting until next year

We got ours really early despite wanting to lose weight! Got them in January which was like 17 months in advance haha. Again though, massive cost out of the way and I'm so glad we did it when we did as I'd be freaking out right about now. My fingers haven't changed much at all with weight loss xx

I want to get ours ordered soon too! H2B has an idea of what he wants but hes also concerned he might loose it as he cannot wear when working, so were thinking of getting him a cheaper ring to wear when he goes offshore lol xx

OH is just going to wear his ring at weekends and not when he's at work as he works with machinery

We were going to get him the ring he wants and he can leave it at home then a cheaper ring to take away just so he has it to wear when hes not working but we shall see how the money goes lol xx

I ordered my wedding ring the same size of my engagement ring. It is a little loose but the smaller size felt too tight I hate right rings. Hopefully I don't lose any weight on my fingers haha didn't really think about it. OH wants to lose weight too hopefully his will be ok too. He will only be wearing his ring at weekends too. He might get a cheap one for during the week

I've already had to get my engagement ring resized 2 sizes smaller and it's getting lose again now. The places where I don't need to lose weight it comes off rather than places I need it to :-(

You have me worried now about our rings being too big. But didn't want to risk the gold going up even more. I think I'll go see mines again once it comes in and take a photo.

My engagement ring has always been a bit on the tight side cos I've been too lazy to get it re-sized haha, think I may do that before the wedding at the same time I get it re-plated.

When I got my engagement ring it was a little tight but I still had a lot of baby weight on. I like it a little loose anyway hate them being tight
21st May 2016 xxx
CommentAuthorFlossie
I'm the opposite, I prefer them to be a bit tight so they don't move round my finger. I like my engagement ring sitting in a certain position, would bug me if it moved round and I had to keep straightening it!

Lindsey, OH always wanted tails and that is more of a weddingy suit to me too so I was please. We hired all our suits from sl@ters for £84 each for grey tail suit, waistcost, shirt, cravat and pocket square (both in plum) and OH has got a top hat to stand out as the groom. He also wants a cane but I think he'll look like Willy Wonka with the purple theme. It was pay for 5 suits, get the 6th free I think and it could be the most expensive one which means we don't have to pay extra for his top hat. Both dads have the same suit to fit in with the bridal party.
Rings are still on our list to do. OH wants a simple white gold band as my engagement ring is white gold but its a really tricky shape and none of the shaped wedding rings have worked with it yet so I'm debating getting a ring I just really like and wearing my engagement ring on my other hand. My birthstone is sapphire so I keep looking at those ones. X

We've not even looked at rings yet.. I've had a quick look but oh wants to go to Birmingham for them cause he reckons they'll be better and cheaper because they're made there but I'm not convinced!

Hello ladies! We're getting married on 3 September 2016 so just under a year now!
We've got the church and venue sorted fairly quickly but as we were selling/buying a house, wedding planning wasnt our priority for a while but I'm back on it now!
We met a photographer last weekend and really liked him so thinking of booking him. I'm researching some bands now and found one I really like!
Next on my list is a dress... I had a look last weekend and tried on probably close to 20 dresses.. all of them were beautfiul but none of them made me feel extra special, none of them really stood out to me so I think I'll carry on looking.. think this will be the most difficult bit. How long did it take you to find your dresses ladies? Ah Becci if you post the designer/model of the mermaid dress you mentioned that would be really helpful as it sounds liek something Im looking for! thanks xx
