Aha, we were doing that Terri. We were going to go to a material store...like abakhan, and just buy the material for both the table covers and sashes xx

Or a Market of some sort...or yes...try ebay for rolls of material. If you found some that you liked, all you would have to do, is cut it to size, then maybe machine the edges. Same for the sashes. xx
CommentAuthorTerribabylove
Wicked lol, We have a market and there is a fabric stall so could check there but ill deff have a nosy on bay of e as probably cheaper, i have a sowing mashine so shouldnt be too hard, whats the best material/fabric to have do you think?? xx

Hi Lottie,
Have you considered artificial/silk/foam flowers? What colour BM dresses are you having?xxx
CommentAuthorTerribabylove
Have a look at my albums lottie926, at my bouquets, there fake flowers in purple and look stunning. If you want a link to the womens website that made them for me, as they are custom made to my spesifications :-), let me know and ill post it on your wall, she does more than just bouquets xx

I think theyre more popular than real now to be honest. x
CommentAuthorlottie926
hi girls, thank u for the replies! to be honest id never even thought of artificial etc, but ive been having a nosey at all ur pics and i cant believe how real they look! there amazing! my bm dresses are going to be purple, and the flower girls dresses are going to be ivory with bits of purple on them. im going to have a good look on the internet and get some ideas now with the artificial etc! but can i just ask, whats the difference between artificial, silk, and which ones best? lol...xx
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
they are a lot cheaper too i got all mine for £65 which i think is a bargain!!! Rather than hundreds of pounds on real ones that only last a few days

omg that is a bargain!! i think that definately makes my mind up for me! haha...xx
CommentAuthorKimmie.Bride.to.be
Mine are foam...Silk are more material, and generally look more real...Foam are as it says in the name...they are foam roses...I think you can only get roses in Foam. What flowers were you looking at? I got all mine for £85...my bridal bouquet alone would cost £120 with real flowers...so I am over the moon xxx
CommentAuthorlottie926
thats fantastic! i was thinking purple roses in a dome shaped boquet for me, and ivory for my bms. i like the ones where u can get small diamontes in each rose as well. and to be honest i dont really want to go back to that florist anyway, i think if u want ur business to do well, and make money, then you will try and get whatever u can for your customers? but she just couldnt be bothered i think!...xx

I am looking for new flowers...not happy with mine and want something a bit more extravagent. If anyone thinks they would like them, I am going to be either giving them away for a fraction of the price or just splitting them and using them elsewhere xx

CommentAuthortweedwedding
Well I cheekily wrote to Cadbury's to ask them for some Twirl wrappers to cover the post box for the cards, sadly Twirl's aren't made over here so they sent me dairy milk - not sure if we'll use them, so if anyone wants them let me know!
Our colours are basically a twirl wrapper as it's purple and yellow. Think we've decided on pretty much everything, the main thing left to get is the BM's dresses - so if any of you ladies can help with nice, cheap ish, purple dresses that would be great! :-)

CommentAuthorlottie926

I ordered my cadbury purple bridesmaid dresses yesterday which I'm very excited about! I was getting very worried because the shop that I wanted to get them from (where I got my dress from) closed for 3 weeks for christmas and I live in France and I'm only home for 2 weeks, but they opened especially for my yesterday!! Very relieved that they're sorted. Lottie, my little bridesmaids are 7 and i'm waiting until 2 months before or less to get their dresses, for younger you may want to get them even closer to the time. I also booked my appointment to give notice yesterday which I'm also excited about!
Now that my shade of purple is confirmed and I got a swatch from the fabric shop I can start buying my other purple stuff!!
Very happy to say I'm now Mrs Keates and loving it!

Right ladies...
My minds running circles!!
Anyone help! lol
Right, did anyone see DTTB last night? After seeing it I am IN LOVE with the alice in wonderland theme!! But I kind of hinted to h2b and he said it was good but ours is fine as it is.
Which got me thinking...(not good)! I am having a Snow White themed hen do, becuase I was umming and arring about what we could all dress up as, and I wanted it to reflect me/my personality. I decided on Snow White because my Mum used to call me it when I was little...my Mum passed away March 2010.
Now I was thinking if I could encorporate Snow White into my wedding slighly without going the whole shabang with the whole theme...as I wouldnt be able to have purple then!
Any ideas/thoughts??xxx

Red bow for your hair, cake topper of snow white and her prince, red apples on the tables or as decorations, necklace with snow white picture....that's all I an come up with at the top of my head :) xx

CommentAuthorJEm1905
Well, firstly i would suggest your dress. If you want colour in it or not. Then start thinking of suits and other party members etc what parts of their outfits would be what colours. Google ideas for purple weddings :) Start collecting a album on your pc then slowly you can slowly start to get a real idea of what you want.
