Now Mr and Mrs Redman ** WEDDING REPORT** 11th June 2011 FLASH HEAVY!!

MrsRedman11611, 26 June, 2011 at 20:55 Posted on Planning 0 26



Our prorities had changed, We had planned the BIG WHITE WEDDING with marquee, church, candelabra's etc etc but these material things didnt matter to us now, Giving Ethan the best did.

So we decided we would cut the wedding budget in half from £10,000 to £4.500 (ish) and the planning recommenced....

So cutting a long story a tad shorter... We kept the church, The car, The DRESS! etc etc and cut down on the recepti0n as it was more important to us to have the marriage part special and then just have a party and speeches.

So after lots of planning, tears, tantrums, nappies, weight gain, weight loss and everything else that goes along with weddings, We had THE MOST SPECIAL, MAGICAL, PERFECT WEDDING DAY. I have married my soul mate and the father of our child and that is the best feeling ever.

Our wedding:



Getting ready


The dress detailing


My Gorgeous Husband on the right and his best man Olly who was fab Smiley surprise)


My arrival at the church (15 mins late!) ?


Our beautiull car which i want too own!


Me and the other man in my life - My Dad x

Thankyou for looking at my pictures and thankyou too all those of you who have commented on my posts in the run up, I know i was a mare at times and you were all so lovely and helpfull.

To those getting married soon, Good Luck and enjoy EVERY MINUTE it goes so fast!!

Love Mrs Redman ?

    Wow, all that on a small budget - fantastic! It just goes to show that small budget doesn't have to look cheap - it all looked brilliant! You both (all 3 in fact) look very happy.

    Awww I do have tears in my eyes now, and you gave me so much hope reading that report and seeing the gorgeous pictures! I am having panick attacks and sleepless nights at the moment worrying about money and the fact that due to my OH losing his job and not having found anything else in 5 months, our planned savings are well short now. But your story and pictures showed me I can still have a wonderful wedding on a smaller budget and not worry about stuff like "OMG, we have no money left for favours and confetti etc!"

    Thanks, VP

    Beautiful story! congratulations!

    I love your balloon release photo, I'm doing that too. Can I ask how you did it? Did you do the balloons yourself?

    Thanks for the info Mrs Redman, we're doing it for the same reason as you too, we've got a few special guests that are angels. Liked the idea of sending the party up to them.

    Didn't think the balloons would stay up if we did them the night before but that's great, one less job for the morning!

    Its amazing the amount of things you spend ages worrying about and trying too 'fit in' to your budget and when the day arrives it doesnt matter and you dont even notice them... x

    Yeh we used a product called High Float in our balloons aswell, Obviously the later u blow them up the longer they will lsat so if u do have time too do them on the morning of the wedding then this may be better but we just didnt have the time so we did them the night before and hoped they were ok....Luckily they were perfect still..

    If you have a look on some party stock sights they sell the high float or even tesco online sell it xx
