A little hello from me

Hello ?

Just had a wee nosey at your album it's really lovely, love the pics on page 6, 8, 16 & 19. Where are the castle ruin type pics taken?

Re your dress if I were you I would probably just box it up until I could afford to clean it to be honest.

x

Lots of people seem to be doing trash the dress photo shoots and there have been some fab pics on here! maybe that would be something you could do?

Ive thought about it, but seeing as im not even married yet im finding it hard coming to terms with the thought of 'trashing' my dress! but by looking at what others have done, it doesnt get anymore trashed than on the day itself so iam warming to the idea so much so im picking out local sites that would make good back-ground shots! lol

Does sound like you have a bit of post wedding blues so putting your dress on one last time could be lots of fun!!

I dont know what Ill do when the wedding has come and gone! The planning seems to take up all my spare time, in fact, I have no idea what I did before wedding planning! lol!

Cant help with the dress but your pictures are lovely! And watch the dvd as many times as you like! My MOH got married 3.5 years ago and the wedding video gets played pretty much every night we get p!ssed round theres! Never gets boring! lol!

Lorna my Encore session was kinda trash the dress without actually trashing it. Here are some pics taken in the New Forest.

I'm over the wedding blues now luckily but just feels like ages ago I was sitting the night before the wedding all excited and wish I could have pressed pause on the wedding day and not have had it finish!

Woowoo it's a local castle near where I stay in Lanarkshire. The venue didn't have the best of grounds (actually no grounds) so H and I went to the castle which gave us an hour on our own which was fab.

Lx

I've seen these encore pics and a few others when you posted the link a few weeks ago, still love the sunset one, definately something I would think about doing after our wedding if I can persuade OH!

I'm in Edinburgh and getting married in Bathgate so Lanarkshire would be a bit too far to travel for our pics but it does look lovely ?

x

P.S. love your hubby's ghillie shirt (think that's what it's called) my OH wants to wear one for our wedding but I'd rather he wore the jacket and shirt etc then wore the ghillie at night time x

Your photos are lovely Lynsey! x

My H didn't wear the ghillie shirt on the wedding day and in fact wore a whole different oufit but there wasn't any point in paying to hire the same kilt again so he just wore the kilt he had for the encore. I think he was planning to change into the ghillie at night time but in the end he didn't for some reason.

Yes Bathgate to Lanarkshire is just a bit too far unfortunately :-( x

I'd recommend these guys for cleaning your dress (I've even got a voucher for £10 off if you'd like me to send you one!!). I think they just do the boxes with acid free paper too if you don't want to go to the expense of having it cleaned at the moment.

Lynsey....... ?

Been wanting to email for an age but not had chance not even checked my own email yet!!

Hope you are OK, your album is beautiful. love the pages with the imprints on them and the pictures on top. all your pictures are georgeous and love the new hair cut ?

I can not afford to pay to have mine cleaned yet, but have found these websites on ebay personsiled boxes

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140353458344?hash=item20adb7d0a8

I am going to get one eventually mine is currently at daves mums as we are doing up our bedroom and it was in the way and would get even more dusty.

Did you see my official pics? I have a georgeous album from pretty wild. need to start sorting them out soon

speak soon, tc xx

LYNSEY! ?

Good to hear from you! I know what you mean about not knowing all the newbies on here, it seems like Hitched has changed completely in the past few months! I am also struggling to find time to get to know them all but hopefully will feel a bit more at home soon.

Glad to hear the business is going so well! I will be adding to your workload in the new year, hope that's ok! ?

Now I'm off to have a nosey at your pics album!

Hi Lynsey! I know we keep in touch but just wanted to say that I never had my wedding dress cleaned and it's 26 years old now I have it wrapped in tissue boxed up and it's still got some confetti on the net underskirt and a few pieces on the dress. I can't bear to take it off because I feel it would spoil it - the confetti and the dirty hemline is all part of the memories for me and brings it all flooding back better than the photos which, to be honest, I can't remember the photographer taking!

Hi pg how are you? long time no see x

Just wanted to say hi ?, thought you'd left us!!lol

Hey PG, hello right back atcha!

your wedding album looks fab! really nicely laid out and you look gorgeous.

? This place is slowly dying now. Lots of newbies who don't know the hitched ways ??

Lovely pics, i'm glad you didn't trash that dress! After so long flashing it, it would be a shame!

you think so spink? I thought it was picking up... there was a time when I looked in the morning and then when I got back from work - and the same 3 top posts were there, surely not as bad anymore?

Hi,

Sorry for delaying in posting but this is the first time I've managed to log back on. Thanks for the lovely warm welcome back.

Bygeorge thanks for that rec and the offer of the voucher but I think I'll get the box Fiona has found as it's much cheaper for the moment. x

Fiona I keep meaning to email you as well. I've realised I used to spend far too long on my laptop before the wedding and now try to get on and do the priority things and log back off again. I've got repetitive strain injury in my hand/wrist I think from sitting on the couch with the laptop on my knee for hours on end! Hitched was just far too addictive. I will email soon I promise and if you can email me the link to your pro pics I'd love to see them.

Jen I'd be delighted to make you stuff. I've got quite a few events coming up in November/December if you wanted to see anything in real life.

Rainbow that's a good point about the stains all being memories. I can't afford over £100 to get it cleaned so will go with the memory point for now! ?

Jem I'll never totally leave and still lurk to see if I can offer advice ?

xx

Hey Missus - hows things???

Thats great you've been busy with orders but just make sure you aren't doing too much!!!!

Did you watch your wedding DVD yet??? Also, to answer your question about your dress, like the others said, just pack it away in a box just now and clean it later.

Meant to say as well your pics are gorgeous!!!!! Hope you manage to get your album finalised soon!!!

Hiya!

I am one of the mentioned newbies... but i just thought id stop and say hi!

Congrats on your wedding! I hope you had a phenominal day.

I had a wee peak at your photos and your dress is absolutely stunning!

I don't know if this helps but I know a girl who about a year after her wedding got her dress taken up to knee length and tailered and dyed a stunning royal blue, she now wears it occasionally to parties etc. Dont think this is anywhere near what you have in mind but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Also, can I ask what trashing the wedding dress is?

Naomi

PG!!!!!!!!! ?

Seems like FOREVER since i was on here last! So glad you did't trash your dress - im still in love with it!! ?

Glad to hear business is going well - How is married life? We still have 310 days to go (not that im counting ?) Planning is coming on great, good to see my vintage theme finally coming together AND Lewis has even come round to it now lol.

**Hi to everyone else who has joined the forum - hope your plans are coming along nicely ?

***To all the 'old crew' - How are you?!! And where has everyone gone lol xxx

Like you ever went anywhere ?

Hey Hillier - where have you been????? I'm good - WP ticking along nicely. Can't believe its just 5 and a half months to go!!!!

Gillsy!

i cannot believe its only 5 and a half months till your day!!!! are you excited?

mr hillier has been working away alot recently so i have concentrated my energy towards looking after the bambinos. however, still managed to do a bit of planning on the side lol. have most things sorted but the mens kilts are next on my list! x

I know, crazy aint it?!?!?!

Hope you get on ok with the kilts - do you know what tartan your are going for???

we are thinking about having 'spirit of bannockburn'

i love the sash in this pic - OH wasnt overly keen on it to start with but he has come round to the idea so i think we will go for the sash for him & his BM:

also OH's dad has agreed to wear a kilt (mr h is english) which i am totally over the moon with - so i now have a the 'main' men in our families wearing a kilt! x

Oh thats beautiful Hillier - totally love the sash too

Hi Gillsy,

No not had a chance to watch the DVD yet. I'm exhibiting on Sunday and full of the cold so I've either been working on designs or sleeping ?.

Nayso I'd love to do something to my dress in order to wear it again but at the same time can't bear to change it! Trashing the Dress is where you do antoher photo session and don't care if the dress gets dirty. Can sometimes involved going into water or places where you'd never dream of going on your wedding day.

Hillier HELLO YOU! Married life is good and I'm finally over the wedding/honeymoon blues. Trying to organise a holiday for our anniversary next year. Spirit of Bannockburn is lovely and I love the sash. My H wore a sash and it bugged him all day as it wouldn't stay still. It also ruined his buttonhole ☹️ but it was really nice he stood out from the rest of the wedding party.

xx

Hope you are feeling better soon

Hello missy! Glad to hear you are well, Im the same I just havent had the time to get on the forums recently!
