I'm Kate, I live in Leicester.
My chap and I are starting plan our wedding, although we haven't set a date yet. We're thinking it'll be next September, or if we don't pull our finger out in time, perhaps Spring 2013.
We're thinking about a registry office ceremony with immediate family followed by a meal, and that may or may not be the same day as the celebration. We're planning on using the local village hall and having it dressed in a chic and fabulous way. (we'll need recommendations for venue dressers who supply drapes and lighting etc and who are up for being creative/different!)
We're after live music too, so I'll no doubt be asking for recommendaitons for an ace yet inexpensive band, too! The one we've heard before nad loved charges nearly £2000 for 2 x 1hr sets. Seems a bit steep to me...
And we're yet to decide on catering, although picnic hampers on each table is one idea we're keen on, or maybe a BBQ (we're planning on a mid-late afternoon start so that we're feeding people once to save some money!)
There'll be about 12-150 guests, including loads of children so we're after a fun-filled family affair with a chic and untterly fabulous feel.
Er, and that's about it - hope I can help and be helped on here
