forgot to add - I knew in my mind I was prob going to go for fitted and fishtail but I went in open minded and tried different styles to rule them out! hated the dresses with the lace up to the neck I just didn't suit it! But 3rd shop I went to I tried on a fishtail dress and I knew it was the one so I bought it! lol xx

Had the bridal party meet yesterday and everyone seemed to get on well which was great. The girls saw the sample dress I had bought and all really liked it. I'm so pleased becaused finding their dress was probably harder than choosing mine! They're all going to look at the sizing on the website and let me know so I can get them ordered and thats another thing crossed off the list. Yay
Welcome Samantha :-) x
CommentAuthorSamanthaF17
Thank you all for welcoming me :), I sure do Emmilou82, I really want a Tardis on top of my cake as I am a huge Dr Who fan. I have spoken to a friend of mine who makes cakes for a living and we have been able to discuss what I would like, just need to pay her to make it. xx

Your getting married the day before me Samantha!
Beautiful veil Emma where's it from?
We haven't done anything for the wedding in ages! Really want to sort my bridesmaid dresses but my sis is trying to get pregnant so don't want to order yet to see what's happening with her. She could be pregnant on my wedding or have a newborn

I had a little emotional breakdown last night was sitting talking to H2B and we were talking about the wedding and had been talking about people and on there pics they are so happy and how there pics truly capture emotion as people can often miss it as its in a split second, he was saying he was saying he cant wait to see me in my dress and he knows how beautiful I will look regardless of what the dress looks like seen as he doesn't know lol, so I said to him I cant wait for you to see it and I cant wait to be your wife I was sitting having a little cry while we were talking, happy tears but was such a nice thought! 17 months to go lol xx

The good thing is, OH has finally realised that we need to save and has started saving his tips every night in work, he started Saturday and already we have £10 so that should add up! x

CommentAuthorFlossie
If we fall a little short there are things we can compromise on, but I just want us to be able to have everything exactly how we want it and how we imagine it. I'm sure we will save enough - I think we might actually end up with more than we need, so that will help with the honeymoon :)
After this pay day I want to start buying bits and bobs like table decs etc. OH thinks it's too soon but we haven't done anything for ages and I'm getting a bit restless. I think once I know certain things are done and sorted it will help me relax a bit more :)

I'm not sure the dress will make it feel real for me either - I still can't even get my head around the fact I even need to go wedding dress shopping haha. From the start I've said I will start looking and trying in June but it's coming around soo quickly!!

We have been trying to do things each month but with getting OH's ring last month and April being an expensive month already for us we are just concentrating on saving for a month or so, then we are going to start with little things again. All we should have left to buy nearer the time is OH's suit :) x

CommentAuthorFlossie
Yeah the start of this year has been an expensive time for us too, and we bought our rings in Jan which took up £800 of the budget and the bridesmaids dresses at just over £200, so it felt like we weren't really getting anywhere with the savings but we did get important things done and dusted!
OH wants to get his suit in Jan next year so I think that will probably be the last thing we do, along with the groomsmen's suits x

Yeah I have my ideas in my head and need to get a draft copy made up so once I buy the materials I can start playing around with printing, I am hoping to go home tonight to the samples I ordered and I can makeup mind on what type of invite we want think it will be gatefold but have a few different designs coming xx

Luckily we are only paying for OH's suit so that will save us a bit of money, then it's just getting everything paid off!
I have drafted up my invites too and bought card, ribbon and envelopes for them so they are done. I just hope they look good when they are printed lol x
