Bailey_wailey in here please a wee question :)

Sorry have just noticed you needed me!!! was watching tv!!

We were originally only getting the Roseberry bar and ballroom, but we were told they could give us exclusivity of the whole venue, gardens and all if we changed our wedding date to the Sun. It was a no brainer we signed the dotted line same day!!

Thats a shame they never mentioned that to you though. Were are you getting married now? xx

Meant to add yeah it was Suzanne that we met with. We looked at it a million times online and This was the only venue we viewed but signed as soon as she mentioned we could have the whole place to ourselves, and theres no charge for the venue if we guarantee 95 day guests we're having 110 anyway so Yipppeeee!! I'm gutted that you lost your deposit thats such a shame. Were you getting the Garden room? it's not as big as the roseberry ballroom, but if the weathers bad thats were we will be getting married - it'll be in the gardens if its a lovely day!! xx

Hey

Awww well they never mentioned that to me maybe because it was a saturday wedding its such a beautiful place ?

We have now booked Pollokshields Burgh hall which I feel in love with too and its not as much as we are getting caterers in which is a bonus to our budget. lol

When is your big day?

Lx

We also looked at having our wedding at Polloksheilds burgh hall! It's gorgeous too.

We originally wanted Saturday the 18th Sept and it was booked, so she offered us the 25th, then mentioned the Sunday would give us exlcusivity. I don't understand why she never told you about it. That's terrible!! We are getting married the 26th Spet 2010. When is your wedding?

Leanne xx

Its the 17th April next year coming round real soon, How you getting on with your plans??

from another Leanne x ?

Lol Please don't tell me your OH is called Peter then. lol

My planning is going rubbish. I've done absolutely nothing. Going out this thursday with my bridesmaids, to see what i can find for them, but other than booking our venue and picking our 1st and 2nd dance songs I've done nothing!! lol How's yours coming?

Where did you get your dress from?? lol

L xx

No raymond lol, Ive got almost everthing booked just to get my flowers arranged wait till afetre christmas for that though.

Got my dress and bridesmaid dresses from America saved a fortune tried them all on here first the ordered them from netbride saved over £800 you should have a look on there site if you see anything you like to see what they can do for you.

Lx

Phew...That really would have been freaky if our OH's also had the same name. lol

I really like Maggie Soterro's Bianca. I'm hoping I can try it on and if i love it as much on as i do the pic then I can order it cheaper. Does that website have Maggie dresses?? How's the quality of the dresses??

What colour scheme did you go for? I really like coral but my bridesmaids are impressed, One thinks it's bright orange and the other thinks its bright pink ? When it's actually somewhere in the middle. lol

After Xmas I'm going to get stuck into the planning, going to make my invites and sort my cake and flowers. I have had a hair trial but not sure it's me... lol

L xx

The dresses are great just the excact same dress we tried on her but less that half the price lol

I went for claret because I could not decide on colour which would suit all 5 bridesmaids, i think coral is beautiful as long as the girls will suit it, i really liked the thought of Navy and cerise pink

Lx

I just spent ages writing a big post, and got a stupid error message!! lol So have had to start again!!!

Where abouts in Glasgow are you from then?

I really like Coral at the moment and because of the orangey colour I thought it would be perfect, but my bridesmaids (my sis and Sis in Law) are weird and said they'll look like "Prawns" lol They will be buying their own dresses so I do want them to like it, but I really want to stick with this colour... My Neices are my flower girls but my sis is buying their dresses too. So I have more money to spend on other things.

I'm hoping to go try dresses on next week any reccomendations on any stores in town?? I have no Idea where to start!!

L xx

Im from the southside Pollok what about you?

I only went to June Brides, Angelique Lamont and Signature Brides, found all our dresses in Angelique Lamont but they cut the designers names out so that you cant find them cheaper so I had to search the internet to find them. the shop that gave the best service was Signature brides really helpfull ?

Lx

Really? My neighbour said they're service was very poor! They were really abrupt with her!

We're in Clydebank. My cousins stay in Pollok! lol

My mum did say she seen a lovely dress in Angelique, so we're going to try there. DId you try Sarah Louise Bridal? They stock Maggie Sottero, so I'm hoping to go there and try on "Bianca" I really hope they have it!! lol

Imagine cutting out all the labels. Thats terrible. lol

L xx

I suppose its just your luck who you get people always have different stories think you just got to try for yourself 🙂

Had a wee peak at that dress it is gorgeous hers a wee link to mine 😃

http://www.morilee.com/dressint.php?idves=2320&idcat=1&idscat=1 its 2320

/ bridesmaids dresses are the ones on the right in that colour

Lx

Those are gorgeous, Did you try loads on before deciding on your dress? Well done you finding them online cheaper!! Especially since the labels were all gone. lol

I really like the bridesmaid dresses too. I'm not sure what I'm after for my bridesmaids something pretty though. My sis in law is easy to please as she said shes not fussed but my sister is a nightmare (we're twins but she's the fussy one! lol )

I really love "Bianca" it's pretty and princessy but not too much I don't think. lol I'll be having it in Ivory if i can get it. Fingers crossed!! lol Mind you i might hate it on, but i really hope not.

I had looked here for buying my dress online but not sure how it would turn out material wise - buyweddinggowndress.com

L xx

I know its quite scary you worry about it until the day they arrive, the reason I took the chance was because of the Capri skies carry on I though oh well I could pay for them here and end up getting nothing so I just went for it really worth it in the end, I woulg highly recommend them. Gillsy also got her's from America Houseof brides and she is really happy with them.

Lx

I will definately have a look at both sites this week when OH isn't noseying over my shoulder. lol Just really hope one or both do my dress, if It turns out to be "the one"

That was terrible what happened with Capri Skyes, the poor owner was ripped off and cleared out by her staff which is disgraceful. but all those poor brides who were left with nothing as well!! I suppose it doesn't matter where you get your dress from theres always that wee bit of worry!!

How was the delivery for your dress though did it take ages?? I'm telling all the stores i visit the wedding is the 18th instead of the 26th, then i know it'll come early. lol

Lxx

I ordered all my dresses on 20.07.09 and my dress was delivered in September all though they said November and my bridemaids in October and they had said December for them so all really early

Lx

So hopefully if i ordered in Jan/Feb they should be here by July/Aug at the latest?? I'd be worried they didn't get here on time...

Lol can you tell I worry about everything?! lol

I need flower candles in ivory or orange (if i go with coral) for my favours, you wouldn't happen to know of anywhere would you? lol

L xx

Going to sound a bit daft here ? but what do they look like

Lx

Something like this, I wanted to put them in a wee clear box with coral ribbon round it with maybe a wee chocolate or something. lol

But can't find cheap but pretty ones anywhere!! lol

L xx

I know what you mean now ? i will keep my eye opened for you lol

Lx

Sorry should have specified shouldn't i? haha

Did you have to make an appointment for angelique and signature brides? I booked one for my bridesmaids @ 10am on thurs this week for june brides but neither can make it now after telling me that was fine ? so needless to say i'm not very happy. Still I have my 12 o'clock appointment with Sarah Lousie Bridal.YAY. lol

L xx

No you dont have to make an appointment for Angelique Lamont cant remember about Signature Im sure we just turned up and they took us but not sure if they just happened to be quiet at that time, not muche help me am I lol

Lx

Lol more help than my OH though. he's useless . lol

Are you having cars to take you to your venue? I'm not sure if i want a car, but my dad wants us to have one. Not sure who to go with if we decide to have one though...

L xx

Yeah we are having these

http://www.catherineslimousines.com/limousine-cars.html

Beauford and 2 merc's got them for less than £500

Lx

Thats really good, I emailed about 6 places and only 1 got back to me, for 2 cars I was closer to £650. Not sure what to do. We were hoping to get into the hotel the night before but Suzanne said they might have a wedding on the night before (even though the night before was the date we were originally going with! lol )

Are you having a coach for your guests?We'll need one, hoping to have it pick up from Central station and take to the venue then return to Central later on.

L xx

No never even thought about this its quite local so dont think so ?

Lx

Lol we have people coming from loads of different places, so we really need to put one on, as i doubt everyone would like to take a taxi from the hotel. I think the quote i got was about £450 or something that was from Doigs of Glasgow I think.... Can't really remember now.

L xx
