6 months to go flash

Hi all,

So I'm a bit on and off on here, used to come on here when we first booked in March 2012 - but don't come on as much anymore, mainly lurk!

I get married 26th July 2014 (so 6 months to go was last Sunday), so thought it'd be a good time to do a mass flash of everything we've sorted so far!

Still got quite a bit to do though! I'll be deleting save the dates and invites in due course, to protect our anonymity - but can't resist leaving them up for a bit!

My dress


My shoes


My bridesmaid dresses


My save the dates (these are in form of magnets)


My invites


Our venue (Rothley Court Hotel, Leics & pic is by our tog!)


Our cake


This is one of the cakes our cakemaker has done, and our design is based on it!!

Realised I don't actually have that much to flash haha! How are other July brides getting on?

    Nice! I especially like the style colour of your bridesmaid's dresses, lovely!

    I'm August 2nd - so week after you and I've pretty much the same things as you available to flash - except I'm back to the drawing board with my invitations (trial run at making them was hideous!) and I've got venue decor all sorted!

    Ah how exciting! Time is passing quickly now, we get married 25th July, so nearly almost date twins!

    Your dress is absolutely gorgeous and your venue looks phenomenal, you must be so excited!

    Love the bridesmaid dresses too, we were looking at these ones but sadly they didn't quite have the right colours we were after!

    I'm not one to wish my life away, but I do kinda wish we were a few months later on in the year to get going, I feel we can't do too much at the moment!

    Though we are going for our menu tasting in two weeks so we can offer our guests a choice of food which will be sent out with the invites in March. January has been a loooong month, glad it's almost out of the way!

    Thank you all so much, I'm not the most fashion-savvy so have doubted my decisions somewhat!

    Yeah we originally wanted sage green or lilac - but haven't been able to find them anywhere so have settled for grey and will still incorporate the sage green and lilac haha - men are in grey suits so BMs shouldn't look too odd!

    They're only from BHS - got them with a 25% off code and free delivery too so has cost me £165 for 2! & I got cashback with quidco of £8 ?

    Haven't been delivered yet and I haven't seen this colour IRL - I did see the same dress in the navy though
