    Hi yes its all very exiting, getting married in a church then the reception at a local hotel and the evening do at the local WMC.

    For my dress i think i would like something long, slim and with a little train on the end, i have saw one in BHS (is the camille beaded bridal gown).

    Looking for ideas on center pieces tho!

    I'm also a week before - getting married on the 8th. I feel very disorganised compared to most getting married in October. So far we've booked the ceremony venue, the registrar, booked the car and have organised a friend to do my make-up. Also currently in negotiation with a photographer. Feel like i've got a long way to go - especially as i'm really struggling to find a reception venue that me and my fiancee agree on within our budget!

    MrsBradley2B - You sound really organised, my SIL is doing my hair and im doing my own make-up as im way too particular!

    Going to pop out to buy some evening invitatons today and then i can start to write my invitations tonight. I have also booked to see my photographer on tueday (altho i know he is exellent as he done my SIL's wedding 2 years ago.

    We chose the 1st of october as its my h2b's 30th birthday too, so it will be a joint celebration! and he wont have an excuse to forget our anniversary.

    Oh there are lots of us getting married in october, congratulations to you all.

    Im having a brides maids dress trauma as i ordered these beautifull dresses and they were a bargain but they were way to short when they arrived (more like a party dress) so the search continues.

    Oh your doing well! I have book my TOG this week and sent out my invites, and in 2 weeks im going to try on some dresses although not planning on buying till about may/June time when i have lost some weight (8lb lost thus far). I have been looking at flowers but not yet decided and i think im going to buy some lovely glass vases from Ikea and do a run to Morrisons for some bouquets of flowers and fill them for my table decs and surround with tea lights. Also my sister in Law is lending me her Veil and tiara and both are gorgeous.

    IM looking at your ticker and can see its not long now, arhhhhhh

    Hiya FB (sorry, I can't bring myself to call anyone "fatbride"), we're plodding on - most major things are under control, but I'm driving myself daft trying to find a harpist though. Ooooh - my phone has just rung to say my wedding shoes are in the store!!

    Oh you must flash your shoes when you get them!

    And i hope to not be a fat bride by the time it comes! I a 16/18 now and would idealy like to be a 12 but realisticaly im looking at a 14 and ive lost 8lb already (been dieting since 4th Jan), actualy looking a my ticker is making me not want to eat crap because its a stark reminder of how fast its approaching!

    I have not even looked at shoes yet, i just know that they wont have a huge heel because DP is about 2/3inch taller then me and i dont want to be towering above him in the photos.
