Ipswich and surrounding Brides....

Hiya. Glad to see more Ipswichers on here.

I'm using Ann Dickson. She's in Ipswich. I came across her at a weeding fair. she's in the phone book. She's coming out to me and I live near Framlingham. Sh'es reasonably priced too.

For hair i'm using my hairdresser which is in my village.

i've got the same problem with trying to find some one local too, although i did find this one

Just her book at a wedding fair. But she had worn the products herself that day and didnt look cementy or too orange for my liking, I'm very pale so dont like the tango'd look!!

She was in a bridal mag a while back. the suffolk bridal one. she has a website but it says under construction. lol

Hi, I'm getting married at Isaacs! I think I'll do my own makeup, and either my cousin will do my hair, or my local hairdresser (Shades on Woodbridge Rd) will do it. Shades only charge £80 for 3 trial sessions and then the one on the day, but that's in the salon. Don't know if they'd come out to your house though...

Yay Ipswich brides ?

I haven't really got an idea about the prices of hair/make up, its something i do need to look into. my friend said that theres a hair dresssers near the venue on Ransomes some where? but i don't know where she means. my hairdresser is in Brantham but shes naff at hair "dos."

i booked the venue 10 months ago. so far i've booked the registra and given notice, spoken to a friend of a friend about photography, put the deposit down for cake and flowers, got my centre pieces sorted, invites and favors half done and more importantly i've got my dress!! what about you?

i'm still debating on if i should get chair covers or not....have you thought about chair covers?

Cola,

There's a hairdressers at the David Lloyd gym on Ransomes. It's a saks salon x

That's my aunty, uncle and cousin's salon! Haven't seen my cousin for about a year now (seeing her next week though ? ) but think they still run it. No idea how much they charge but it's perfect for your venue. Small world!

Oh it's so exciting isn'it!!!?

So far We booked: The venue, registrar ( but giving notice in april; i changed the appt twice... coz of work) , My dress!!!! , photographer (quite cheap aswell if you want her details message me i booked her last night she is doing loads of weddings at this venue this year apparently, really nice lady) ; the car; chair covers! ( def having them , hav a look on pretty ballon website they got pictures of our venue with and without) h2b and i tought as we not going to church that we want the ceremony room to look nice and the chair covers really do make the difference.

Trying to sort out the invites at the moment ☹️ prooving quite hard i just dont seem to be able to make a decision!!!

Hi - Kelly Pooley is very good - I have been on weddings with her on several occasions

http://www.simplybeautifulhair.co.uk/terms.html

Tim - I'm based in Debenham for the record

I have photographed a couple of receptions at the Holiday Inn but never a wedding, Which room do they use for the ceremony ? is it the same suite as for the reception ?

Hey, i'm in ipswich too, got married at the belstead brook year before last.

if you need cake recs i can recommend http://www.cakeflair.co.uk/gallery.htm Sally made us a gorgeous 3 tier cake - top and bottom tier chocolate, middle tier, white choc and lemon, it was gorgeous

can't rec hairdressers though, my Mom did my hair, and i did my own make up..................

thanks for that, i'll have to go in and get a price list, it would be very convenient to get the tribe just to walk over the road!

Hi im now starting to look at wedding cakes and i have no idea what i want!!! i think i want 3 tiers and thats about as far as i got!!! i have no idea what is a reasonable price for a 3 tier wedding cake and cant seem to find that many suppliers in Ipswich

Hi Tasha, I got my cake from Cake Flair, paid about £180 for 3 tiers (top and bottom, chocolate, middle tier white chocolate, with lemon)2 years ago

Em

There's loads of cake suppliers. Loads came up on a google search. And get yourself to the local wedding fairs. They're a good place to find out the local suppliers x

Crafty Em - I'm getting married at the Belstead Brook next year!! Did you go for chair covers because from when i last went and had a poke around the room was really colourful and thought they might "tame" it down. I love the cake you had too definately something to pop in my scrapbook.

I didn't realise there were so many Ipswichers on here! x

Thanks, your cake is really nice. does your friend who does the cakes have a website or anything because i dont use facebook, probably the only person who doesn't have it!

Tasha, i got my cake from the little cake shop near the library in town, very reasonably priced £138 for a 3 tier sparkly cake!

Is that cake supreme? Ive heard their cakes are really good but I thought they would be expensive. I was thinking of just having a marks & spencers cake and putting my own touches on it but yours is much cheaper!

Hi Emmsie, the room is really colourful,

i didn't use chair covers as i had a red wedding dress so the decor worked for me, my bms were in black and ivory, looking back though, and having seen the difference chair covers make, i think i would have had them. Wish i had bought some different table clothes for the front tables though, they were blue, which i didn't realise til the day, i assumed they'd be white.

some pics from my day, including our elvis impersonator in the evening (not a huge elvis fan, but he was brilliant and a close friend, so got everyone up and dancing), we had lawn games to keep the kids happy and hopefully away from the Brook, also an extra table in the corner to use for craft bits, which kept the kids quiet all though the speeches and while waiting for courses to be served.

Sally is lovely at cake flair, she made by first wedding cake too, are you having a DJ?

x

edited to say sorry for the huge pics lol

You look gorge and so happy :o) your dress is stunning

I tried to look at the pics but FB wouldn't let me scroll through. we aren't getting married at Belstead so we shouldn't have to worry about the blue table covers but i will keep that in mind. I think i might have to try and persaude OH that chair covers are the way forward. I'm realy stuck on a colour scheme too arhg, so many decisions!!

Yeah we are gonna have a dj but haven't sorted that one yet xxx
