New Bride to Be

Hollysmith123, 21 January, 2013 at 16:40 Posted on Planning 0 21

Hello, I got engaged on 23rd December 2012 so I am new to the whole wedding planning obsession. I literally cannot stop talking, thinking or discussing it. We are hoping to have our venue booked in the next week or so and we are looking at 1st August 2014, as we are both teachers. Any tips or advice about anything wedding related will be much appreciated - I think my friends, family and H2B are already bored of me!

    Congratulations and welcome to hitched!

    I think we are all the same, my OH kept getting annoyed at me cos I kept sharing too much info with everyone so I'm learning to keep things to myself, it's not always easy! Have you been to see any venues yet?

    Thank you both! It's nice to know that there is somewhere I can escape and talk about all things wedding! We live in Essex and have seen 8 venues now. We are seeing out top two this weekend so I am hoping to book it then. It will then all start to feel very real!

    Congrats on the engagement Smiley smile!

    I was exactly the same at the early stages just wanted to talk about it and nothing else! (altho still do with my mum), what are your 2 top venues could you flash us? we love a good flash Smiley smile!..

    I think i first started with a scrap book and cut out things in wedding magazines that i liked theme's colours etc.. also attend wedding fairs you can meet some great local suppliers and also get some good idea's too! Smiley smile

    Enjoy your planning Smiley smile

    Thanks everyone. I hope we find somewhere soon too. I think we have narrowed it down to Prested Hall and Woodhall Manor. We have been to see Gosfield Hall, which is a partner of Leez Priory, but it wasn't for us really. I am also going to view Boreham House this weekend, just to keep my options open. Where abouts in Sudbury are you getting married?

    li can't believe how similar our stories are, I got engaged on Christmas Eve & we're looking at 1st Aug 2014 too as OH is a teacher! Maybe we can keep in touch & help one another with our wedding planning?! Xx

    Hi,

    I live and breathe my wedding 24 hours a day. It does get stressful and as you get closer little things will test you. At the minute for me its a few guests not seeing eye to eye and saying they wont come to the day. Enjoy every minute of your planning. Its a great escape to get lost in th romance of it all. I only have 123 days to go x

    You're all so lovely! Bexfizz, we should definitely stay in touch - how freaky that we are so similar!

    I'm excited to hear that Prested Hall sounds nice. Someone I work with has just booked her wedding there as well. Exciting times!
