HI ?

how exciting that you've been to try on dresses!!!! I would say carry on and try a few more on but if your mind keeps going back to this one or you start to compare other dresses to it, then go and get it! I cant wait to start trying dresses on!!

What date in June are you? were 16th and cant wait!

Have you booked anything else yet, venue etc?

We've booked quite a bit as a come from a small area with not altot really! and im doing my social work degree so im quite buzy alot of the time so dont want to get stressed out!! urm weve booked our venu, cars, photogropher and sorted out kilts and bridesmaids stuff too! im a little bit obsessed!!! lol Marrying June 22nd!!

I am so happy there are others out in the same boat. I have been feeling miserable, and worrying that everything isn't going to be ready or be what we want. We have a good budget but I'm worrying about going over, everything weddingy is so expensive and way over priced! :-( Though saying that ebay has been my friend for wedding stuff so I've been able to buy things just not the fun things e.g buy a dress, wedding venue and pink things lol. With a wedding so far in advance I really hope me, my kids, and my hubby will really enjoy put it all together and personalising it with handmade invites, confetti and the wedding cake. My hubby2b and I are big fans of retro sweets so we're adding that to the wedding as favours.

Sounds like its going to be fun making a lot of the stuff yourself, wish i could but am totally useless at things like that!!!

Were going along with a New York theme (as well as the colours) as this is where we got engaged, so hoping to have our invites with a NY theme and table plan, etc table names named after places in NY, so really looking forward to this starting to come together..

Have spotted a few things on ebay also and local supermarkets!, sweet barrels (actuallt biscuits barrels in Asda - thanks to Flow, another hitcher) £1 each!!! going to get myself some of these and make our own sweet table....

As for favours...were having Apples - to represent the 'Big Apple'!!! he he x

We're going to give it a try so hopefully it works lol. Oh wow, that's very different :-) How are you doing the theme? And what are the colours? Weddings are exciting aren't they. I can't wait to be Mrs. Pitt now, been practising my signature lol.

Your wedding date is my birthday

Im a 2012 bride! We are looking at September, going to see the Church next week and hopefully pay a deposit. Have a few reception venues in mind, so will decide over Christmas.

Trying to work out our budget at the moment, i didn't realise how much everything cost!

Hi and welcome...

Im getting married August 2012, I have booked so far... the cars, band, TOG, chair cover hire and we have chosen the venue but not yet paid the deposit, I have chosen my dress as I fell in love with it the moment I saw it lol, think we have found the cake we want and also booked the caricaturist for the evening reception.

Our colours are cadbury purple and white. If you are looking for very reasonable costing BM dresses a lot of us on here are using a woman from Birmingham and she is VERY good!

Hmmm, not 100% how were going to make it work yet, he he

But colours were having Fushia Pink & Purple, i.e. BM's will be in these colours, ushers will have purple cravats and groom will have pink one, chair colours will be pink & purple (i.e. white chair covers with 1 chair pink sash, next one purple sash etc), flowers (i think) in the middle will be pink & purple and then the NY theme will be along the lines of...

Yellow NY taxi cabs to arrive in (really looking forward to this!!!), NY themed invite cards, table plan NY theme with each table being named after places in NY (i.e. Tiffanys, bloomingdales etc), Green Apple with luggage tag (shaped as a leaf) with the persons name on - therefore doubling up as name places also...was thinking of maybe getting a few bits and pieces of miniture replicas of places in NY and placing these on the tables also and then getting the cake - am thinking of a cake that looks like stacks of Tiffany boxes with a yellow cab and a Mr & Mrs on the top!

Thats as far as ive got so far, he he - this is mostly in my head at the min but this is the way forward me thinks!!

Do you think it will be a bit much with the colours and the NYC theme??

Sarah, that sounds awesome No definatly not! It's very fitting, you may need a snow machine to complete the nyc theme I would love to see how you pulled it all together

I've found that if something has the words 'Wedding' they put another £500 on top :/ very frustrated! Mine and my hubby's budget is £4,000. We've cut out the wedding breakfast (too formal for me) and we're going to make as much as possible to keep costs down. We're getting the later booking at the register office so we just have the even reception to worry about. That way we can have everything we want.

Oh wow, lovely choice of colours! I'll have a look thanks so much for the tip :-) xx

oh wow, you've done loads. I have been holding back tbh, I want christmas to be special with the kids then the wedding. I am dreading after the wedding though, I'm on a diet (YUCK!!). Lol

Congratulations to your wedding, if you need wedding dress, you can have a look at merbridal, it is really good.

Looking forward to next year though so we can start looking at the pretty things like cake and flowers! Too many ideas floating round in my head at the moment I have no idea how we'll actually decide on anything lol.

Hi everyone!

We are getting married June 16th 2012. We got engaged 6 weeks ago and so far we have booked:

Wedding Venue

Registrar

chair covers

Hairdresser

Photographer

Purchased all stationary to make ourselves

We have decided on the colour scheme, Ivory and Mocha and have sent save the date invitations out to all the guests. I'm a nightmare when it comes to planning, as my H2B says, once i have an idea in my head i have to plan plan plan!

Me and one of my bridesmaids will be atending the NEC wedding Fayre next May, so hoping to get some more ideas and purchases then.

Congrats to all the future Brides to be!

Woo hoo a date twin!!!! Am 16th June 2012 too!!!, you've done a few more bits than us so far though, he he,

So far we have, Church/Venue/TOG, hopefully will have cars/mens suits in Jan, then am going to start dress hunting nxt year, our colour scheme is Fushia Pink & Purple and we are also having a New York theme (this is where we got engaged) so we know what we want for favours etc etc and how we want our invites x

Hi everyone, we are getting married 2nd June 2012. We have booked the venue and our colour scheme is red satin. Not having favours. I have seen some "out of this world" dressers on the internet, but I am going to go and try some on after Christmas! I can't wait, Congratulations to you all. Next year will fly for us. X

Yay sarah, date twins!

Can't really do a lot now until the new year. We have only organised a lot as my friend is a hairdresser and my sisters boyfriend is a photographer in the RAF, so getting them for free! which has saved us a great expense.

Time will fly I'm sure, i will start to look for bridal and bridesmaid dresses next year. My H2B already knows which suits he wants and have a vague idea about flowers etc.

(Nice to know there's someone else getting married on the same date Sarah-we can get excited together!

I'm a 2012 bride to (only just January 21st for us!) and i'm well impressed with all the stuff everyone seem's to have done!!! i feel like i may need to pull my finger out come Jan!!! so far we have

Booked venue (bothe ceremony and reception in one place)

Catering (all covered by said venue)

registrar booked- just need to give notice etc (again all booked by venue)

tog booked

Bridesmaid dresses bought

and thats it!!! if it wasn't for the venue's package sorting a lot out i'd be even more behind ?

Yay! it's always better to have a date twin to see whereabouts they are up to and how each other are getting along! Am sure we will have loads of fun and trauma over the next 12 months! he he.

Yep, i bet! We'll be in the same boat. Its all trial and error. I was just glad that i have this site to get advice about things, otherwise i think id be in the dark! Plus it's nice to share ideas.

I'm just really hoping it doesn't rain! Will buy ivory umbrellas just in case!
