Hi

I have posted on here a few times but not introduced myself.

I'm Kylie, I got engaged to Pete after a wirlwind romance on Boxing day and we are getting married on 23 February 2013

Me and Pete met on a night out last summer and have been together ever since! We moved in together in October and got engaged over Christmas.

The proposal wasn't exactly romantic...he asked my dad's permission on Christmas day, my dad told my mum, mum told my 90 year old Nan and she congratulated me on my engagement!

He took me out and brought me a ring on boxing day and we started planning straight away. Everyone was really happy for us.

We live in Yorkshire but decided to get married in Devon, where my parents live.

So we viewed one venue only! I knew exactly where I wanted it so we booked the Kitley House Hotel in Yealmpton nr Plymouth. We have exclusive use of the hotel.

Outside

Ceremony room

Reception room

We decided on a black and white theme so these are things we have booked/bought:

Chair covers

Flowers

I want my bridesmaids in something like this

    Wow, it all looks amazing! Gorgeous hotel!

    Have you thought about your own dress yet? I haven't heard of a bride picking the BM dresses before hers Smiley smile Then again, I guess it's the tougher decision!

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I am dreading shopping for my wedding dress. I have a large bust but a size 8/10 waist. I don't think I could do strapless and i'm really worried about looking frumpy!

    Congratulations Kylie, well done on being so organised everything looks fab so far. If you wanted a strapless dress it can be done, Ive got a lerge bust (34f) and smaller waist and im having a strapless dress with corset back and it feels VERY secure, ive jumped around in it a bit and it doesnt move lol. xxx

    There are some GORGEOUS dresses out there and you will not look frumpy. I would check with the store whether they have a good selection of non strapless dresses before you go though. I definitely didn't want the usual strapless number but some shops just looked at me in a bamboozled manner and said they didn't stock any other kind. I eventually found one I loved though. Do some research online and in wedding magazines and find some stockists in your area.

    The lady at the venue said I am one of the most organised brides she has ever dealt with. I have booked the registrar and photographer too. My other half has choosen his suit and I've made some of the invitations! Loving planning!

    Hi Kylie and welcome to Hitched.

    I'm having a black, white, diamond theme too.

    Have you tried Evica or SexyHer for your bm's dresses? Very resonably priced. x

    Congratulations.

    Kitley is lovely we go there for lunch sometimes. We viewed it as a venue but went for Langdon Court instead as we thought Kitley was a bit too big for what we wanted,

    It is beatiful though and they are a popular venue so have load`s of experience of weddings.

    My brother got married at Langden Court, soooo beautiful and the beds are very comfy! When the celebrations stopped I wished I'd given longer for sleep time! Smiley smile
