APRIL 2014 BRIDES?

Wow - you have got loads done! I am on the Saturday (12th) can't wait!

Have booked the following: venue, priest, DJ, photographer, hairdresser, make up artist!

Meeting with caterers tonight, can't wait to see if they can do what we want...will fill you in tomorrow.

So tell me more about yours, big / small, church / civil etc etc love it all x

We fell in love with a converted barn in the middle of gloucesteshire...its literally in the middle of acres of fields...

When you walk in the aisle is long with stone flooring and the cieling is covered in fairy lights ... you get wed infront of a massive window/door with amazing views - the walls in the ceremony room are cotswold stone with uplifters. Then in the area we are eating there are big timber pilars with big round tables and ivy , candles and more twinkly lights. Outside there will be flares, firepits and a bonfire!

The food is being cooked on a 14ft ish if not bigger indoor open bbq - We are having a mixed grill with sides followed by chocolate fudge cake and cream! Then in the evening hand made italian stone baked pizzas, choc fountain, sweet buffet and candy floss! We want people to have as mch fun as they can so we have thrown in a photo booth with props for good measure!

I am having a harp play me down the aisle, my sisters (from durham cathedral) singing whilst we sign the register. Not sure what to walk out to yet?

I'm having fresh petals in bags for people to throw as we arent alllowed confetti and petals down the aisle.

My dream is to have the most beautiful romantic fairytale wedding followed by a massive celebration!

Tell me more about yours please! xx

Hi all,

I can finally join in with this thread! We're now all booked for 26 April 2014 but I'm not as organised as some of you. We've got the church and reception venue booked. I've got some ideas on make up artist and save the dates. I've also decided on one reading and what the favours will be but that's about it so far. Next on list is the photographer then I can dress shop!

Exciting

x

I'm 25th April 2014 and I am not anywhere near that level of organised, not for want of trying, OH says I need to pace myself (before I drive him crazy) haha. We have booked the venue and the (provisionally) registrar, we still need to give notice. Have a meeting with photographer next week then will pay deposit. Have made save the dates and distributed half of them (my half obviously, OH has no sense of urgency). I am desperate to the point of itching to start my dress search but have restrained myself at the moment, I won't last long though. Oh, I have bought my shoes though, first thing I did after he proposed lol.

Hey fellow April 2014 bride here, I have booked/bought so far:

Venue -ceremony and reception, food and drink inclusive.

TOG.

DJ.

Hair stylist.

Hotel.

Tiara.

Giving notice tomorrow!! :-)

Music.

Guest list sorted.

Sent save the dates.

Decided on centrepieces.

Favours.

Woahh super organised the latest I've ever been booked before a wedding is 3 days! We had the consultation and I was like.. see you on Friday!

I hope they do one of these for June 2014 as I'm mega organized too lol

Hi ladies!!

It seems so many of you are organised!! We are getting married on 27th April and so far we have booked:

Venue (includes food/drinks although we don't pick the menu until 3 months before the wedding)

Registrar

Photographer

Sent out our Save the Dates

Decided on Favours

Booked harpist for ceremony music

We are now in the process of getting the cake sorted, looking forward to upcoming tasting sessions

I have tried on a few dresses and fallen in love with two but I have a specific Victoria Jane gown I want to try and I have an appointment for this in a couple of weeks time.

The biggest issue I am having is table centre pieces, I am just not seeing anything that really blows me away.

Apart from that I am loving planning everything and keeping my fingers crossed for some lovely Spring weather next year

Hello Ladies,

You are all sooo organised!! I'm feeling a little like I should get on with stuff.

So far we have:

Booked venue

Given notice

Ordered save the dates

Choosen a colour scheme

Hmmm....thats about all.

Whoops, I really must get a move on.

I need to but wedding insurance, maybe that should be my aim for today.

Ha! I like that.

I got all hyper and did loads in the 1st couple of months but am chilling out now. Been to give notice this morning though, was exciting!

SLOU90 - it sounds beautiful! You sound like you want the same as me, I am all about the romance and the love - that's why we're getting married! THEN a huge party to celebrate.

I am getting married in an old Tudor house - there is a church on the grounds so we will have everything in one place, as well as accomadation. Really can't wait - I want to go back and remind myself of how gorgeous it is

So far I have: venue, food, DJ, photographer booked.

I am out on Saturday with my bridesmaids (who have been amazing) to look for dresses for them.

I also have my dress EEK this makes me smile everytime!!!!!

The most exciting year of our life....it seems to be flying by too x

Evening Ladies,

So writing on this thread obviously picks my sub conscience, as I am noe the proud owner of a Wedding Insurance Policy.

Not a exciting purchase, but a pretty vital one.

Next on my joblist was to email our tog to book a date to go and have a chat, I have also done that today too.

x

And, I've just phad a chat with our the Wedding Planner at our venue, and paid the deposit for that too.

I'm excelling myself tonight!

Hi!

Hope you don't mind me joining... I have been engaged for a week and have just booked registrar and confirmed venue for 18th April 2014!!

Good Friday - bit of a curveball date but I'm a teacher and we have family (my dad) overseas who can't make the summer.

I am very excited but realise I now have a lot to do!!! X

Hi!

I have been engaged four years and getting married 5th April 2014 time is flying by so fast, will be April 2014 in no time!!

I have booked: ceremony, venue, disco, flowers, cake, photographer and the honeymoon

Hello

i love being organised - so far i have booked venue, stationary design, cake, photographer, registrar, videographer, cars, aisle runner, florist, chair covers, suits, hairdresser and on saturday we found and paid for the dress

i have already chosen - presents for the parents, bridesmaid, flower girl, page boy and groomsmen and what i'm getting OH for the morning of the wedding.

i'm loving being a bride to be xx

We went to give notice today and I saw the realisation that this is really happening literally dawn across OHs face and it was sooo cute, I've been waiting for that moment since we (I) started planning haha. The lady at the register office was really helpful too, she gave me a few ideas for the venue we are getting married at. Tomorrow we're meeting with the photographer I want to book and putting down the deposit all being well. I've gone back into diy craft overdrive again too, origami! I think we're gonna take a break on the serious planning now, OH can only handle small bursts at a time.

I'm getting married on the 5 April and have so far booked the venue and given notice of the wedding at the town hall, been and tried some dresses on, going back on 1 June and ordering my dress all being well, have got hairdresser, make up, photographer all booked still deciding on the car.

We want to get married on 4th April. So far we are hoping to view a venue (the first one), I've made the save the dates which I'll finish when we finally book somewhere. I've got the invitations materials to make them, but again need to book somewhere before I start.

Unorganised and with little money to our name.

Fun!

Hello ladies , I have been away for a while ... I'm not even sure what iv been doing but I appear to have missed this thread!

So lovely to have so many April brides to talk to ! Aka whinge at !

Haha!

We picked up our certificates to say we can legally marry and now just looking at the order of service !

Just got to pick a song for us to exit to... Tricky!!!! Any ideas? X

Hello all,

Time has flown by since I last posted... we (I) have done loads. Venue, registrar, photographer, car, band, talked to a florist BUT I can't seem to find 'the dress'. They all look so lovely but I haven't had any moment with any of the 60+ dresses so far... is this normal?!

I'm going to another shop tomorrow morning so fingers crossed it's there - just don't want to feel like I'm settling for something just to end the process!

Alx

Lovely to hear everyone's planning is coming along nicely. Can't believe we have less than 9 months to go, was 18 months away when booked our venue!! Goes so fast!

So far we have now sorted: venue, ceremony, disco, bridesmaid dresses ordered, rings, flowers, cake, Mr and Mrs sign for top table, invitations (came this week and look amazing ), children's activity packs, photographer...

and the honeymoon!! going on a cruise, excited!

Have also sorted and booked my hen do as I have taken charge on that one lol

Next steps are: my dress (need to get wriggle on with this but want to lose some weight first too lol) and guest book

Hello! Can I join in? I'm an April 2014 bride too...April 11th to be exact!

No where near as organised as some of you ladies though!! Reception venue is booked & deposit paid & DJ is booked & paid...that's about it at the moment! I'm spending more time planning our honeymoon than the wedding to be honest! We're flying to LA for 5 nights, next stop Las Vegas for 4 nights and then on to NYC for 5 nights before coming home! Absolutely cannot wait!!!

As far as wedding planning goes, we've got a meeting with the dear old vicar on 25th July so that'll be the church booked. I've picked BM dresses, just need to buy them! A family member who doubles as a florist is doing my flowers. Sisters fella is sprucing up his white BMW and driving the BM's, my fiancé will put ribbons on our car or him & best man so that just leaves me needing some wheels...

Erm...that's about as far as I've got!

Dreading dress shopping....really really dreading it! I have 2 gorgeous children but courtesy of them, my lovely toned flat tummy is no longer! I hate hate hate getting undressed in front of people (not that I go around undressing for people!) so the though of getting down to my smalls in a dress shop fills me with dread!!! I'll have to purchase some knickers that come up to my chin...

What's everyone having as a colour theme? Ours is sage/ivory...

Can't believe there's only 9 months to go!!!! Whoop!!!

Picked up my wedding ring yesterday, absolutely love it and how it looks with my ER. I cheated and kept it on half the day too. It made me all excited when I saw the engraving too.
