I have recently joined the forum so thought I'd say hi and also look for fellow july 2013 brides for support. it would be great to speak to anyone with the same date as us July 13th.

i've been engaged for a year when my fiance popped the question in the middle of a Pulp gig in hyd park.

We had thought we had found an idyllic hotel in south west Scotland last october but when we went to pay the deposit they had booked us in for 2014 instead of 2013 and our date had gone. We felt we ciould not trust them with our wedding so left it for a while and last month found an even nicer hotel where we can get married outdoors by a fountain if the weathwr is nice .

our wedding will be medium sized with a slight festival theme and a blue and white colour scheme. We've got plenty of ideas and luckily some help from talented friends and family which should make us some savings.

Can't wait to chat with people in the same boat and i don't feel like i'm boring with my wedding plans!!

    So how is everyone getting on with the paying/ planning etc?

    We have all the major things booked we just have all the little extras / pretty bits to do now. I feel a lot less stressed now everything is booked.

    The only thing we are having major issues with is chair covers? Our company has let us down and double booked :/ so we need to find someone else. who are you all using? I'm in Kent.

    Also how are people sitting people on the table plans. not sure whether to put people who know each other together or put them separately.

    xxxx?

    Just had my hair and make up trial! Hair is good, not sure about the makeup. Decided to have a trial so that I can see what it would be like as I don't normally wear make up. Whilst it does look quite nice and when I take photos it stops me looking shiny - I look kind of orange.....whilst in photos it does not look orange, I am concerned that as my dress is strapless my face will look a different colour to the rest of me! I do not want to have a fake tan done and I don't tan!

    Is the solution not to have foundation? help!!

    Beware of the fake tan....my friend had one and looks pretty orange in her wedding pics, plus it rubbed off bit on the dress. Maybe just need a sightly different colour foundation?

    I had trial too and thought too much make up... will ask her to tone down the blusher I think.

    Hows everyone getting on??? Sooo close now.

    What do you all have left to do?

    How have I never seen this July thread before!

    I'm pretty much there now. Everything is paid Smiley smile just need to sort the music out next week. I'm losing my job on saturday (2nd time this year) so that's a bit of a downer, but I'm hoping to be on a wedding high so I won't be too upset.

    Then on the wedding week monday me and my Mum will be ironing all the mens suits, the wednesday me and my Sister will be baking favours and putting them into the jars and then the thursday me and Mum will be driving nearly everything down to the hotel in Dartmouth ready for the wedding the next day Smiley smile

    It's come round so fast - I'm excited and really nervous at the same time!
