Lol.... Kirsty I read that and giggled. Imagine waking up in a thick forest in your flat!!

Enjoy your shopping trip x

I would actually love my very own flat forest. Dogs would be peeing all over them though!

Yeh I fear its going to be like that for a few weeks before the wedding. Spare room is already the leaning tower of wedding stuff. X

Rudely awoken this morning by a dream that on our big day our bridal car gets a flat so has to drive around with a space spaver spare on! Then ... The cars and vintage guest bus took everyone to the reception first before the church for a blessing then had to go back to the church to be wed and then back to the recption again! Too early to be having silly dreams Like that!

It was very strange lol! Tried to get some flower ideas today and the florists were finding our colour difficult to work with

Really? What colours?! Never heard of that before.

Lovely flowers Becci x

Just hoping the florists will say that they will complement the bridesmaid dresses. I only want my bouquet to be bright then the bridesmaids cream and pale baby pink colour to contrast their dresses.

Oh wants gerblars for his button holes! Random but at least he's made a decision

We originally were going cadburys purple! Went dresses shopping three times then when we went to order them that rose dress was new in so I told them to try it see if it was nicer and it was.. So got oh to come tk see how set on purple we were as we really liked the rose colour too and he was like well I thogvht we chose the dresses and decided purple. Anyway made him come to the shop to see them in flesh and he hated the purple even though he wanted it! Men!

Yea glad they're nice Danielle .. Nice enough to put the bridal shop ones to the back of your mind?

Sounds like you've found yourself a good dj! We are fairly easy to please music wise we just like the dance chart music so basically want a bigger summer disco with party anthems from the years thrown in .. Can't beat a bit of Saturday night etc!!

I've never seen them used before mmw2b! I hadn't even thought that far in advance lol .. I'll plan my bouquet and bridesmaids he can deal with the button holes!

Yes I think so anyway. They are totally opposite styles and I'm nearly sure I prefer this one. Plus the colour is so perfect. Can't wait to see them on the girls now.

For my flowers I was peony roses mixed with different flowers and peony roses mixed with gyp for the bridesmaids. Is it just me or did u not know the names of a lot of flowers until you started wedding planning? Haha

Seen some lovely invites on the bay today. Might order a few samples. Still can't decide whether to buy or make

They're really pretty LadyC!

If I had pastel bms I'd have gone for something like that

That's a nice idea :) I think its a nice variation .. Few people near me have done that recently and it's really pretty

I originally was going to go pastel I think .. So I don't know what happened.. Don't get much less pastel than my colour if we tried!!

Our venue is covered in ivy all year round in the front and it's a wonderful red at the moment so will be for our wedding .. Very pretty <3

My bms keep saying how excited they are and asking me if I am yet and mums like oh she's not the type to get excited yet I'm the one trying to sort everything and start doing some diy stuff now and getting told by mum I don't need to worry yet. Finally convinced her I should start ordering a few bits so I've ordered a personalised champagne flute for one of my bms.. I want to get all of them the same but mum said I should only get one to see what they're like first. Gr.

Still need to convince her about the dogs. She's telling me we'll have to put them in kennels!

I see our dogs as a BIG part of the family and I refuse to put my dogs in kennels on the day of our wedding!!!! She's really arsey about it; I don't want them involved in the day as such but our venue allows dogs in the downstairs accomodation and by the sounds of it lots of people want rooms so the downstairs rooms will be bought so I said last night we can just pop them in there and we'll walk them every now and then because our venue is out in the country and has a huge field out the back. We have ample opportunity to walk them both during the canapé time for a few minutes and then hopefully get a few photos with them too and also in the break between wedding breakfast and evening reception but she's still he'll bent on not having them there! Me and oh both feel MISERABLE at the prospect of not having our dogs there - they're as good as kids to us- I find it very selfish of mum not wanting them there - she thinks we expect her to walk them or something but we've already told her that me and Simon will do it! I'll just change out of my dress to take them I don't mind as long as they're there. I'm sure this is going to cause a massive argument that she expects to win.

I think we're going to have a guest list LadyC ... It's bad enough Christmas and birthdays getting presents that you think where can I put this or will I ever use it .. I think I might do one where you just put monetary contributions towards different things I.e £50 towards dolphin encounter etc so that they can play a part in us getting the most out of the honeymoon :)

That's good Leanne. My OH was worried about a religious ceremony too. We're not having hymns which is good.

We're having 2 readings too! Also, walking down the aisle to 'At Last' by Etta James.

Planning is going great thanks. You? We only decided on our date last week so lots to do in 10 months. So exciting! Have appointments this week with vicar, cake maker, dress maker, hair and make up artist and florist.

Also chosen the bridal cars. 2 7 seat Daimlers, which used to be used for royalty. Room for the 12 strong bridal party, as well as 2 seats for OH and our son after the ceremony. £465 for there and back to reception, which I thought was good. Here they are...

I'm going with those jars Becci - works out so much cheaper, although went to a wedding fair today and a company said they could supply us with a sweetie table for £300, but still think that will work out more expensive in the long run.

Think Im going to not fully decided but if we do I'll put a tag around them saying thank you for attending our wedding then our names (hopefully get a logo with our names in for all our stationery) then on the back have peoples names so they can double up as favours and name cards

Beautiful cake LinseyH81

Thank you - just saw it today and fell in love!!!

Danielle - are you getting marired in a Catholic church? Just wondering about the license thing? We are and didn't realise we may need this if getting married in church?

Love that cake Lindsey :)

Not yet Kirsty - we're meeting with the florists next month and now have a colour swatch of the dress so hopefully will know more then.. I'd love real flowers if possible but if not then the bouquet I found with just the pink/red rose in our colour being fake would probably work quite well

How quick is everything coming around Danielle? Scary how fast this year has gone x

Exciting
