I finally chose my dress!! *Flash*

lianne22, 12 January, 2012 at 21:02 Posted on Planning 0 44

Completely self indulgent post here!!

I first started looking for my dress back in June. After having a few months off from looking, i went back this week with fresh eyes and tried another 15 dresses on!! I ended up agonising over two dresses.. A few hours later, I go back to the first shop and had that feeling, of *this is my dress* I was so excited and relieved!! I was starting to wonder if i would find *the* dress.

Anyway, the moment you're all waiting for.... the flash!! Whilst im here, I'll flash other parts of the wedding too.

Church

Reception Venue

Engagement Ring

Wedding Ring

Flowers will be similar to this

    Yes my ring is from smooch, I cant remember which metal it is. I'm sure its available in a few metals though. The price was more then what i was expecting to pay, it was between £700-800 Although, i do have it engraved so that put the price up slightly.

    Very exciting, we get married in june, cant believe how quickly time is flying by. We get married at my local church and are having reception there ..... Had our first wedding drama the other day when we realised every hotel in the area was booked up as Elton John is playing the same night in chesterfield... At present we have a lot of room less guests!!! Eeeek! are you all organised?

    Oh no!! I hope you're able to sort something soon. Have your guests tried in sheffield, there a few south of sheffield which are not too far from Ringwood, sitwell arms, mosborough hall etc.

    We are fairly organised... there is a fair bit to do, but the big things are ticked off the list, especially now my dress has been chosen! How about you? You havent got too long now, very exciting!

    Yeh we have had to send out some other options to those we put on our invites! O well!!

    Pretty organised now, my dress came in november, have first fitting in march, everything is done apart from flower girl dresses and gifts. I'm a bit too organised I think but I'm glad as it's gone from being a year away to 4 1/2 months in a flash! Getting nervous now too! But so excited! My oh is worse than me though, every day he thinks of something weddingy to do / plan! Bless!!

    What room at ringwood u having?

    Ha! I feel the same, im full steam ahead with wedding planning at the minute. I have spent the last 2 days reseaching various things online!!

    Are you all sorted then? or have you got more to plan? I have the majority of the big things done, but my list is still fairly long and seems to be growing by the day!

    oh wow! Dress twin!! ? Do you have any pictures that you wouldnt mind me looking at? I too would like to see a "real" bride in the dress. I havent been able to take any pictures of myself in it yet and the designer picture doesnt do the dress justice.
