    Beautiful! Love the first flower inspiration picture (similar to my bouquets).

    I absolutely love the grey for bridesmaids and the suits. Very classic and elegant!

    Ooh, lovely flash. And the first flower inspiration pic was the one my best friend used for hers, and our flowers were gorgeous! Couldn't have any colour coz of the time of year, but this is what they looked like

    Sorry these aren't the best pics but give you a general idea. In the halterneck one I was rushing so hadn't tied the other bit round the waist but I would have done to finish it off if I'd had more time

    @burybride really?? When are you getting married there? I just love it, it’s so beautiful. And the staff can’t be more helpful! x

    @MrsLloyd2b – thanks SO much! I’m beaming with everyone’s lovely thoughts on our ideas! Can’t believe we have the same dress and colour scheme – not met anyone with the same one and when you search online hardly anything comes up for the dress or not much real wedding stuff for colours! I’ll make sure I do a full report for you to be able to peek at before your big day!! xx

    She got married on the 30th December, it was tough finding a florist who would work, then she had to get flowers as the markets weren't on! But they were beautiful.

    @Purpletgyrrr

    you're welcome! Yes, they come with a bandeau. I didn't try the dress with it as it was attached and didn't want to rip it off to try before I knew my BM would be happy with the dress! A few of them will use the bandeau for a modesty panel I reckon. xx

    I know Bridally, I can't believe it either!!definitely the same Benjamin Roberts dress. My bridesmaid dresses are dessy twist dresses in a slightly lighter shade than yours. Only difference is the groomsmen will be in navy. Lots of peach flowers, peach lace sashes on the chairs, peach and grey invites even our centrepieces are similar! Let's def stay in touch, can't wait to see your beautiful pictures! Xxx

    It’s so beautiful isn’t it. Mine comes in September – can’t wait to try it on again. Are you having a veil with yours? I wasn’t going to bother but the closer I get the more I feel like I’d regret it if I didn’t get one. I love the cathedral length lace edged ones but not sure if it’s a bit OTT for a converted barn. Hmmmm! Do you think chapel length would look strange as the train on the dress is chapel length?

    Haha lots of similarities then!! We have good taste Smiley winking xxx

    I ordered mine at the end of May and they said it would come in around November. I didn't want a veil at all however my mum forced me to try on a double tier cathedral length veil and I loved it, much to my surprise! Going to try it on again when the dress comes in and make a decision then. I think if you do go for a veil it needs to be a fairly long one, at least fingertip length, so that it doesn't clash with the lace neckline. I'm getting married in March so going to get a fur wrap for my shoulders and gave ordered flat lacy peep toe shoes. Are you getting married in the barn or just there for reception? I don't think a veil will be too much at all. Eeeek, I'm happy that I have a dress twin! Xx

    I was exactly the same – my mum and the dress shop wanting me to try one on and I fell in love! But, I’m definitely not spending hundreds on one from a shop. I’m getting one made from me off an Etsy company. They look beautiful and have hundreds of great reviews. Going to save me loads!!

    Ooh that veil is lovely! Yep I think either just shorter or just longer than the train of the dress. I've just ordered my flower girl dresses today from Debenhams, I think they look like mini versions of our dress!

    Oh and I agree with just having lace around the bottom of the veil so it doesn't detract from the lace on the skirt xxx

    Those flower girl dresses are fab, definitely a nod towards our dress too!! Think I'll get the veil ordered tonight - if I can make a final decision between cascade or all one length. I'm thinking cascade xx

    I'm new here but this is our venue too! We are April 2016 and I am a bit behind with the planning- I find it overwhelming at times too.
