i'm based in Leeds hun :-) best way for a bargain is go out of season Nov-April and do a weekday, you save money this way

i'm getting married at Pudsey Parish church and having my reception at Mercure Leeds Parkway. a lot of hotels offer packages as well so if you can make one of those fit into you plans you can save even more

Soon to be Mrs Mann - Thank you for your advice. if you know of any where you can recommend let me know. where are you going for your hen party?

Kirstyless - where are you getting married? what colour are your maids wearing? How long have you had the venue booked for?

Xx

Hi Lucy im from Leeds also, theres a big wedding fayre at elland road(leeds united ground) on sunday 12 th February. Its a very big fayre with lots of exhibitors there including venues. I went last year too.

Hi Lucy - I'm getting married in Dorset where I am originally from. But have got all the outfits from up here. Maids are in a victorian lilac colour, got the dresses from Fantasia Bridal in Normanton who are absolutely fab and so friendly and helpful, then my dress and suit hire from Precious in Garforth...she runs the shop by herself and is the most helpful lady in the world, we are buying her a small gift after the wedding cos she is that lovely!! We've had the venue booked since 30th March last year and get married this year on 2nd April.

How are you going with all the decisions? Any help, just give me a shout!

Aww lovely!! I would recommend her to anyone, I've not been to one bridal shop thats been like hers!

Hi guys I'm from cleckheaton near Huddersfield should be getting married in may 2012 but we are putting it back to August 2012! Still excited though planning away. If anyone wants to chat I'm here lol! Xxxx

Hi girlies. Hope your all keeping warm in this cold spell!

lysblanc -Hi hunni - Im from Huddersfield and no wedding booked as yet. We are having an engagement meal with our family and friends this weekend. When do you get married? x
Liza247 - Hiya, thanks for the advice about the wedding fayre. What time is it on? Are you going? xx

Authormym72 - Thank you for the advice about the shop - will keep my eye out for them. They should understand that trying on the dresses is the fun part and of course knowing the prices is also very important. People cant afford to spend loads on dresses can they x
RobynFrances1990 - Hi how are you? Have you booked your venue? Whats Gomersal Park like? x

princesspixie - Hello - Im orginally from Brighouse too. Where are you getting married|? Yeah getting married on a Saturday can be expensive. I have so many brouchures at home to look through lol XX

Soon to be Mrs Mann - Hello - I havent booked anything apart from organised an engagement meal with family and friends which i am so excited about. Cant wait to see everyone and have all my favourite people in one place. Are you going to the wedding fayre at the weekend? I bet you have been to loads havent you? x

kirstyless - Hi, Aw she sounds lovely. Ill definately be asking you for help when I get to that stage of choosing my dress. What style dress have you gone for? What are you doing for your hen party?

If anyone is up for a coffee at some point give me a shout xxx

I know what you mean kirstyless I had the same problem, my friends didn't want to take a burlesque or cancan class, so it stressed me out so much that I let my SIL plan it now and all I insist on is that it is burlesque dress theme.
Lucy I am getting married last day of June, feels like its tomorrow already, can't wait. I am off work atm but if I am near Hudds I'll let you know it'd be nice to meet up

Think it starts at 10 until about half 4 ish I think. Yeh im going, i would definately recommend Precious Bridal too, was the best experience in comparison to the others I had been too, alison put my whole party at ease, showed us & spoke about the dresses n asked me to chose some I liked which I did. She wasnt in anyway pushy or make u felt as though you should buy from her. Once i decided on my dress she got out the champers for everyone :-)

I get married on 18th august this year & going to magaluf for four days on my hen do. I have changed my mind on loads of things, I found attending wedding fayres and looking at different companies (bakers, florist, bridal shops etc) to gain ideas for colour schemes, flowers, dresses, table centrepieces etc.

Awww I would of done aswell, but I'm down in Dorset this weekend :(

Hi girls, can't believe I haven't noticed this thread before! I live in Garforth :o) Precious is a wonderful shop - if I hadn't already bought my dress when Alison opened I'd have gotten mine from there, she is such a lovely lady! She even offered to have her seamstress do my alterations and steam my dress for me when I was having trouble with the original shop, even though I didn't get my dress from there.
If anyone hasn't sorted their flowers yet, I can highly recommend Flower House in garforth too, they're really reasonable prices and the lady is lovely :o)

Hi everyone
How are you? Im off to the big wedding fayre in Manchester on Sunday - very excited. x

Hi Lucy we are getting married at Leeds Town Hall which i love the building and then having our reception at Great PReston Village Hall not too far from Garforth where my parents live (its not like a village hall though more like an old church which a goregous big church window at front)

we are having fish and chips for main meal and ice cream tricycle for dessert so this has kept the cost down and a buffet at night time.

i have made all my own centre peices and im making my own invites and have got my save the date cards from v...print and im sticking magnets on the back to create magnet save the date cards.

Hope this helps.

staceyquantick I used to live in Great Preston! In fact, my mum still lives there, and I now live in Garforth :o) The village hall is a lovely old building, gets pretty drafty in the winter though! lol. My mum runs a community wind band there every Thursday evening. Small world, huh? xxx

Getting married in at the Pavilion Hotel in York. We couldn't find anywhere we liked in Leeds or Wakefield, so ended up looking in north yorkshire and finally found this place in York. We love York, and would live there if we could afford it, so seeing as we can't we're just going to get married there instead :o)

ah yes it will be! I'll make sure she finishes on time that night for you, they often run over so I'll tell her she needs to be out at 8.30! :o)

Thinks we should deffo have a meet up!!!!!
