    We were on the brink of cancelling the whole thing tonight but we have found a way round it. We thought we could afford the sit down meal and kilts for the guys and boys but this just simply cant happen. So we have decided we will get suits for the boys and just have a running buffet when something runs out it can be topped up again. We have also decided to look around and see if we can get a cheaper wedding cake as well. Was nearly in tears earlier because of it all. xx

    It can be very emotional when you have to cut things out, but at least your day is saved! Just need to do some shopping round to get a cheaper cake but it will be worth it, glad you have talked it through and found a solution! :D x

    We're getting our cake from M&S. I couldn't bring myself to spend £200+ on a cake that I probably won't even like!

    m and s and asda may have what you are looking for cake wise. TBH most supermarkets are now becoming onboard with the cake idea so check out a range and buy some nice ribbon to go around them.

    cant wait to be Mrs Evans less than 3 weeks woooo
    start weight 10st 1.5 lbs
    weight now 8st 4.5 lbs
    total loss to date: 24.5 lbs now need to maintain!

    M&S wedding cakes are lovely, the last 2 weddings I have been to both got there cakes from there and you would never tell the difference. One had the plain 3 tier cake and the other had the one with the waterfall roses, I can honestly say they were perfect!! And if your looking for boys suits, there's lots of websites that do kids suits for 25 quid and if you send them back within 7 days of the wedding you get 50% of your money back. As for flowers, try silk and make them yourself.. so easy when you've had a practise!

    You can get ready made fruit cakes from the likes of cake shops and ebay. You just then need to decorate them up which can work out even cheaper than if you got them already iced from m&s.
