14th September 2013 brides

I'm not yet - but this is a potential date!

I know there are more of you out there than just me!!

I had to look at the date and think to myself is that me -- YES it is !!!!!!

how are you getting on with all your planning?

Oh YAY!!

I knew it wasn't just me!

Going ok at the moment.

So far I have church, venue, dress, shoes, car, hotel, photographer and music booked.

Working on the save the dates and evening invitations this week but we need to have a look over the guest list again.

So where abouts are you getting married?

Hiya!! This is my date too

Wow you have done a lot!! I literally have the venue and church! Sooo exciting!!

Oh I know but I have OCD when it comes to organisational things!

I used to be a project manager.

When did you get engaged?

Did I see you are in Bath SummerLouiseLewis? If so you couldn't give me some good options of bars / pubs or clubs to go to as I have got a hen night coming up in October and we are looking for a good venue.

T x

Haha i just can't seem to decide on anything, i just like everything i see!

We got engaged on the 1st April so not long ago, but booked the church and venue within 2weeks, thought i would just do them as then at least i had a date

Yeah i am in Bath... hmmm The Cork bar is quite nice, a few of my friends go to Belushi's pub a bit but i have never been... the pig and fiddle is also popular but is more of a student type pub really. Komedia have club nights often, but other than that i'm not the knowledgable really... www.visitbath.co.uk may be able to help you a bit more Sorry i can't be of more help lol

Ah yes - Get the church and venue booked and that is the hardest part!

We got engaged on NYE so I have had a few more months than you have!

Thanks for the info about Bath.

Awww my Brother in law to be got engaged on NYE... My OH told me he was meant to do it months before but had to wait nearly 3months for my rings, even though he was told 2 weeks lol never mind.. was good anyway

Where abouts in the country are you getting married??

Yes it feels like a very long time ago now!!

We are getting married in my home town of Marlow, Bucks which is on the river and gorgeous!

Very excited - I'm not sure how I'm going to cope until next year!

Of course you can join in!

More the merrier!

Not sure why it put that so small ... maybe it thinks I'm shy? ?

Wow you have all done sooo much, my problem is my OH has specific ideas that he wants (i just thought he would just say yes to whatever i wanted) but won't book anything yet lol! I have been dress shopping mind, absolutely loved it Have gone twice and going again soon

We are getting married at the walton park hotel in clevedon.

so far we have organised venue / photographer / cake / invites (which im making ) / favour boxes / bridesmaids jewelerry but not dress / honeymoon / guest book / venue decoration ...

also sorted out a tempory guest list just incase things change over the next year. we dont need transport as getting married and have reception in the hotel.

our colour is cadbury purple and butterflies is the theme. this month we are trying to book a string quartet and decide which jars we want to purchase for our sweetie buffet.

we got engaged in dec 2011 and i cant believe how quickly the last 6 months have gone

Summerlouiselewis - where abouts are you getting married, im being nosey what with us both living in the south west !! i live in bristol so not far from you at all

My OH is exactly the same! I thought I would be able to run riot with this wedding but he wants to be involved with everything which is actually quite nice really.

I'm also going for purple but hopefully quite bright version of it but that will depend on the Bridesmaid dresses. My MOH is early 40's and wants a long dress with straps then I have my sister who is 28 and about a size 12 but big hips and my OH's niece who will be 16 next year but is still growing so we can't get her anything yet. I'm tempted to say to them - it has to be a shade of purple and wear what you want but we are having quite a formal wedding so it will need to be quite smart.

We are making our own invites and a friend of ours who is a graphic designer is coming over tomorrow night to do the Save the Dates and start on the invitations, but the guest list is proving the hardest part at the moment.

BTW Lannyb27 - is that your wedding car in your photo?

I wont be able to buy bm dresses till early next year as i have my niece who is 14 and is constantly changing shape so dont want to pressure her into dieting or anything if her shape changes and then cant fit into dress, then my sister is a teeny size 8 who if she wears strappy dresses makes her look like a 13 year old so she will need strapless dress.

i really want them to wear a 50s style dress but will have to get them to try some on to see if it suits them

Have you looked at Vivien of Holloway for your dresses? My sister (who is a UK size 4-6 so TINY!) wore one to a friend's wedding a couple of months ago and it looked great. I bought one for a wedding for a friend of mine this year and it's also great for me (size 8) and for curvier women, it's also a really flattering shape. I don't know if I'm allowed to put links up, but you can search for the site on your favourite search engine ? They have all sorts of different colours of dresses, petticoats and belts so you can make your own look. I'm considering wearing one to my UK registry office ceremony (I'm having a big blessing with the "proper" dress in Spain).

She has a shop in London (Holloway Road) where you can go try them if you want. I don't know if that's logistically possible for you.

Hiya, Yeah i am getting married in Cornwall as thats where my family is Clevedon looks lovely for weddings, i did consider doing it up here in Clevedon at one point!!

Hi All

I am getting married 14th September 2013 :-)

Feeling super organised as we have booked church, booked venue and paid deposit. Got my dress & Tiara. got bridesmaid dresses, ordered save the dates (should arrive this week) got card, ribbon etc to start making invites. :-)

Wow you are super organised!!

You are putting me to shame

Latest update - we are not getting a cake but a big mound of cheese

You are all putting me to shame! I am exactly a month before you (August 14th) so apologies for hi-jacking! So far all i have is my venue and registrar and my dress, you are all far more organised than i am!

Hiya. Yeah live in Bath but getting married in Cornwall where the 'rents are You have soo much done, we have nothing but the venue and church yet :/ starting to think i really need to get my bum in gear lol

How are you ladies getting on with the dress hunt?

i have decided to get mine made and got the first sketches back with material samples and I am really excited!!!

I'm in the 14th September gang too! So far I have the church, reception, photographer and caranne dress. I have someone to do my flowers and cake but I've not decided what I'm having yet. I'm currently finishing off my save the dates and I keep seeing a few things I might use for centrepieces but I keep changing my mind.

It's all coming together nicely but it still doesn't feel like I'm actually getting married. Weird.

I would have loved to get married in cornwall as thats where i spent my childhood holidays too! the OH wanted a venue by the sea hence the clevedon hotel, its not too far for us to travel to.

is it weird that i have bought my jewellery before my dress???? i found a set i loved and it was in the sale as end of season so knew if i didnt buy it there and then that i wouldnt be able to get it at a later date....

Not weird at all. I bought my shoes and side tiara without having a dress and I have even picked my earrings

Yeah i grew up there so can't wait!! Just hope the weather is nice and not typical cornish weather lol!

Hi

I'm new on this site and am a 14th September '13 bride! We have the registrar, venue, reception and photographer booked for some weeks but that's it! Not sure when to kick off the organising really, especially the dress as over a year is a long time if you change size/shape! Have ideas for flowers bridesmaid dress etc, but like I say I'm not sure when to kick it all off.

Hello! I have just had my venue confirmed today and I too will be getting married on 14th September 2013! So so excited now lol. Although I did have my dress and photographer booked before the venue ? Just got to confirm the registrar now - fingers crossed they have a slot for me!

Have decided on BMs (big and little), Best Man and ring bearer (totally uneccessary but my nephew is just too cute to leave out!). Colour scheme is chocolate and ivory, and I have a cake maker. So still loads to sort out but now that I have the venue confirmation my stress levels have cranked down a notch or two!
