    So pleased to hear you got your dress sorted Emma. You sound super organised so I'm sure you'll have a brilliant run up and amazing day. And then I won't feel like the only Mrs on the 2016 thread x

    Hair appointment booked for the Saturday before the wedding :) I've got a voucher from the local paper for a free cut and blow dry when booking in for a colour - thought it would be rude not to use that! Won't be having much cut but will be having a full head of foils so it looks all pretty and fresh for the day :)

    Eeeek Flossie - that's my wedding day!!

    I think you'll be fine Flossie, if the venue are comfortable with that date too. We had ours 8 weeks before so there are still thinks cropping up that I am having to email about.

    They don't need final numbers or anything until 2 weeks before our wedding day, so I presumed that the final meeting around that time would be fine too... We will have 3 weeks to go on the 29th. She did tell me she was available this Sunday, maybe we should meet her then instead?!

    morning ladies - we had our final venue meeting last night with our wedding coordinator - all feeling very real now, but exciting too and I feel we're going to be in good hands. We've mapped the day out so we have our timings of everything too. Are people providing guests with a timetable for the day? I noticed that my friend who got married on Friday had these on the tables, but then she got married at the venue.

    On another note, has anybody ordered any hangers from a company called Th£ H@ng£r B0ut1qu£? I don't seem to be having a great time with them - I can't find any reviews online, but ordered 3x hangers on 17th April and was told I would receive them within 3 weeks. I know its only just over 3 weeks, but I've now left 2x emails, 1 message on Facebook, voicemail message and a text and haven't received a reply to any. Beginning to think I've been done!!

    Yes we are Lindsey - I've just printed the one out and it will be displayed in a frame at the entrance of the venue. I think it's nice for guests to be able to see what's happening and when.. that being said, our whole day is at one venue too. If it was across two I don't know if I would...

    Hi Susan - they have a website and ordered from there. I've checked their FB page and it was last updated on 27th April.

    Great news about the suits :-)

    It's only £30, but I am quite peed off at the moment, but at the end of the day I did purchase on the understanding that what they said on their website was true. Whilst their hangers do look beautiful, I certainly wouldn't recommend them!

    Got my dress back yesterday and it looks amazing now! It needs taking in a little bit at the back as you could get your hand down there so she is doing that now and dropping it off tomorrow. Can't believe how much better it looks!

    MIL is dropping SIL's BM dress off today as she took it for alterations then me and OH are packing for honeymoon tonight as we won't have time tomorrow or Friday! So exciting!

    Can't wait to get it back now so I know it's all done!

    There are so many lovely things in the shops now, luckily I bought some things in the sale last year and it was my birthday last month so anything extra I needed I asked for. Only had to buy a few pairs of shoes and dresses myself!

    I fully intended to buy loads of stuff in the sales but never did... we've got the Monday and the Tuesday before we go on honeymoon so will probs be buying last minute things then! I'd like to go to Cabot Circus or something one weekend soon but it's just finding the time. Think I will be raiding Pr1m@rk!

    Haha I'm not feeling like a skinny minnie at the moment! The dress had to be taken down 2 sizes though so I think it's just because of that.. Thanks, I will definitely try to get on before we go on honeymoon to let you all know how it went! Eeek!

    Hi all. Lovely car Michelle. Pity you def could have gone in that.

    Had a productive day yesterday. Had my 2nd hair trial which was much better than the first. Then went shopping and got an outfit for the day after the wedding, c0nverse for LO and bits and pieces for the basket for ladies loos. Then paid off cake and cars then had my final fitting last night. I am so pleased with my dress and bridesmaid dresses!
