    I know what you mean, it would irritate me too especially when you are just trying to include her :)

    I'm sure it will be fine once she tries it on and can see how it fits etc. It's probably worrying when somebody buys you a dress you haven't seen. My BM's have been asking lots of questions about their dresses and although I've reassured and answered them all, I think they will feel better when they see them! x

    Mrs M - It's funny because I wasn't evening planning on getting them because I did initially want baby pink.. but I love the dress so much I just had to switch the baby pink for peach lol. They are beautiful dresses and although they are different to the other 2 they still have some of the same elements so they compliment each other well! Chuffed with them :)

    Ahhh that's a shame Danielle, I'm sure you will find some beautiful dresses elsewhere!

    Looks like the 3 of my bridesmaids are trying their dresses on next Saturday without the one who lives in London. A shame because I wanted them all together but I can't wait around forever.. and the others are desperate to try theirs on! Think we're going for lunch then back to mine to try them on, just waiting for them to confirm but know they are all free at some point on Saturday :)

    Are you the size of the dress so you can try it on with them ? At least you've got some idea of what they look like then before you're friend can come up and try it on x

    It's from 3rn3st Jon3s if he wants to have a look there! They had quite a few nice ones in there. OH orignally wanted a matt one but when he tried them on they just didn't suit him. He always wanted something a bit different to just a plain band though x

    Thanks everyone!

    Some might say we are too organised, but rather be too organised than rushing about and stressed last minute. For me it's just a case of spreading the cost more than anything because I know I would worry like hell if I had to pay for eeeeverything in one go!! x

    We've already spent just over £2,400 but because that's been across 7-8 months it hasn't seemed so bad. So hopefully the rest won't seem so bad either! :)

    As long as you don't drive yourself mad thinking about all the details too early, I did, hence we moved the date!

    But no seriously, all sounds fab and I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of dress you go for!

    I'm making sure I don't do that MrsK! Very happy with the time frames, don't feel like I want to bring it forward at all (I know we can't afford to anyway). We will still have lots to do nearer the time like sorting out the decorative bits, paying off balances, suit shopping etc. and I'm purposely waiting until June to even start dress shopping x

    Jut been quoted £225 for this (to serve 90 people) which includes the delivery and set up fee. Would just need to source the flowers myself and the tree trunk base. Think that is really reasonable.. might go a free consultation/tasting session with them at some point. I am wondering whether I still want a naked cake though or cupcakes.. maybe could incorporate the two.

    That's gorgeous and such a good quote! :) You could have one naked cake at the top and for the tiers have cupcakes? It looks fab when people do that, that way you can cut the top cake piece and your guests can help themselves to cupcakes :) x

    I'm not sure if I like them laid out like that. I always think the top tier looks a little odd lol. Was thinking we could maybe have a smaller cake which would bring the price down a bit more, and then get a few cupcakes made to place around it on smaller tree trunk bases.. kind of like this but with 'naked style' cupcakes rather than iced and coloured..

    I did think of online ordering and I wouldn't cross it off as an option. Its reassuring to hear you have had such a successful purchase, think because all you hear is negative it does put people off and £35 each that's brilliant x

    You just have to be careful and make sure you read the feedback/reviews before ordering. I was never actually worried about the quality as I'd read good things, I was more concerned about getting a customs charge (although wouldn't have been much anyway), but I didn't receive one which was a bonus :)

    If you order online from the UK at least returning them will be easy if needed x

    Love the cake flossie! Looks like it would feed more than 90 people! Unless they are having huge chunks lol the one I'm having hasn't got flowers around it, it just has strawberries dipped in choc but not as much as that one and is 250 so I'd say that is a very good quote. I personally love naked cakes it's making me want to go with a rustic theme

    Girls in their dresses.. Minus one! The peach one is perfect, blue needs taking up just a tad and blue and lilac need taking in around the bust/back. But I am soooo pleased with them. They look so gorgeous!!!
