Wedding Forum - Brides of 2016...

Hi Ladies.

All your plans seem to be coming along swimmingly. :D
Were getting married 1st May 2016.

So far we have booked and paid deposit for the Venue/Catering for day/evening as were having it all in one place
and we have saved our date/paid deposit with the registrar.
I brought my first decorations the other day - some tea light holders with big hearts attached and 3 big metal hearts with smaller hearts dangling inside. thought I could have the tea lights up the isle (with fake candles in) and the big hearts on the table at front for ceremony.

Starting to look at DJ's and Photographers next, will hopefully have them booked in next month.
Colour scheme is almost decided just need to make sure it works for centre pieces etc.

Oh, this thread's a great idea - I love it!

Well, so far J and I have:

- Booked, paid deposit and sent booking form back to our venue.
- Contacted the registrars and got ourselves in the system for our date
- Pretty much sorted the rings and will be discussing payment with the jeweller next week
- I'm down to just two dresses to pick between
- Come up with our table number/name idea
- I've sketched out a few decoration ideas for banners and stuff

Still lots to do, but now the really important (venue and registrar) are done, everything else we can take a bit of time over.


Flossie - I think you and I are getting married on the same day, 18th of June! :)

I'm 5th of March 2016.
I've paid half the venue
Booked the photographer
Found the cake
Chosen BM dresses and the suits for hire
Sorting the flowers but a word of warning for those who get married on this date it is mothers day so get the flowers sorted early as prices may go up!

:)

These have just arrived. They are to stick on to my post box as I'm doing my own :)

Thank you. Yes it is :) x

Got a nice delivery from china this morning! I can start practising making my bouquets as soon as my brooches start arriving Xx

Thanks Emma, im excited to get started X

Looking forward to seeing what your going to do with then! MrsM how much was the car if u don't mind me asking? We are paying £500 for two cars and starting to regret it! Both have open tops one for me and OH and the other will hold bridesmaids and groomsmen

It was £350 just for the one car DanielleS0709. It was meant to be £395 but they let us have it as last years price x

Oh maybe I got a good enough deal then lol just thought it was a lot for a few hours! Flossie I priced a campervan for bridal party and old style beetle for me and oh and it was £700 I really love them but couldn't justify that so we went with the traditional vintage look cars instead

Oml you ladies are so ahead we chose 2016 when he proposed in 2014 so we could pay off... This hasn't happened and this month is the first month we are paying off so far we:

Found and paid deposit on venue
Paid cake in full
Deposit on flowers
Bought buttonholes online
Searching for photographer
Searching and arguing over a car because he's too fussy
I have found 'THE DRESS' which is being paid for by the mother
Still need to pay the deposit on the church
I have our hairdresser
Trying to enjoy just stressing out!!!

I love the starlit dance floor its beautiful! Xx

Looks gorgeous! Definitely worth the extra money! x

Will be here before you know it xx

23rd July 2016 that's my date....and I cant wait. All your planning sounds fab ladies. My hubby to be works away and will be home soon so we can start looking at cakes and flowers. xx

Have you found somebody to do your cake? x

Nope, not set in stone. I have a few options but I need to sit down and speak to them all again and just clarify prices. Everything is a bit all over the place at the mo lol x

We're looking at having a naked cake so the cost will be lower anyway because there will be no icing or intricate detailing etc.. The cheapest I've been quoted at the mo is £275 which includes the set up and delivery fee. However would need to provide my own flowers for the decoration. x

Not decided 100% but I do like that idea! I haven't discussed the cupcakes with any cake makers yet though so unsure if it will affect the price by much... It shouldn't do too much as would just have a smaller "main" cake to compensate x

We shall seeee! I've hit a brick wall at the minute, just can't seem to get myself motivated wedding-wise. I guess we've done a lot in the last few months though and we've had lots to pay out for so just catching up with myself before I get started again lol! I think after next pay day I will definitely get a deposit down on a cake x

We're on hold for the time being as there isn't really anything to do at the mo. We've booked everything I think we need and the rest doesn't need doing yet. We have an appiontment to meet our new wedding coordinator at our venue in a couple of weeks but that's it.

Went to the wedding show on sunday which was fab for ideas, quotes ect. Close the booking videographer / photographer. Need I find a church that's the most important thing next but things have started moving again yay! X

Well done ladies! You've all done so much already!

We've sort of set the date, although as it's a bamk holiday Saturday a lot of the venues we like had the date already booked so we're prepared to be flexible, as we really want a barn conversion for our wedding.. but still viewing venues so hopefully should have one booked next week.. Fingers crossed!

We only got engaged mid Jan 2015 and I though I was very organised by starting to plan 18 months in advance.. turns out people do it even sooner!

I did try some dressed on the National Wedding Show and found 2 I absolutely loved.. but decided not to get any as I feel like it's so early I'll probably change my mind a few times before the wedding ;-)

My cake is 4 tiers with the top being fruit and the rest sponge (raspberry and lemon). Got a good price of £240 so I'm really pleased. That includes delivery and set up etc....

That cake is gorgeous Emma! x
