Hi Everyone- I thought I would introduce myself before I start posting.

I got engaged in April last year and we are planning our wedding for 8th October 2011. We're getting married in Cumbria because that's where I'm originally from but we now live 180 miles away, so alot of my wedding planning is online. I've already got a lot of help from reading hitched for ideas. We aren't very far in our wedding plans though, only booked venue, registrar, marquee, caterers, tog, entertainment and my dress so far, so lots left to do (or that's how it feels). Our colour scheme is black and white- I have put together a mood board which I'll try to post.

The thing I'm currently focused on is flowers and venue decorations- bouquets, table centrepieces and venue decoration. I'm not a particularly flowery person (haven't fully decided to have a bouquet yet) and am struggling with what to have, espeically with our colour scheme. My dress has roses on the train and shoulder strap. Any ideas gratefully received.

I look forward to contributing to hitched.

Well helllooooo date twin ?

You're a step ahead of me as I haven't even got my dress yet

I went with my Mum on Saturday to see our local florist for them to price up my ideas on flowers/table arrangements etc, hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll have their costings then I'll probably cry haha. I had to change some flowers etc as they would be costly and I've ordered on eBay the feathers I had my eyes on as the florist said it would be cheaper for me to supply those ?

Sometimes I feel like I'm lagging behind when I see other ladies on here way ahead of me and I thought I was organised lol.

Anyway welcome and have fun, hope you find lots of ideas to inspire you ? X

Thank you for the welcomes.

Sherrie- wow, the photos are great and stunning. They are great for inspiration. I really like the black candle in the big class vase and that looks simple to do as well. I also like the black roses in the bouquet which I assume are artifical. I'm actually meeting with a florist / venue decorator on Friday who does both fresh and artifical flowers- but really don't know which I would prefer at the minute. I do think I need to have an idea of the sort of thing I want though before I sit down with her and those pciture have certainly given me some inspiration. I'm off to google candle centrepieces and black roses. Thank you so much.

LeeLee- yeh, I've got a date twin. Don't worry, I'm feeling very disorganised at the minute and like I'm lagging behind too. I'm sure you've done things that I haven't done yet and vice versa. Sounds like we're at a similar stage in trying to pin down ideas and juggle budgets though. Best of luck and I look forward to hearing more about your planning and wedding.
