October 2013 Brides

Hello! Wow you are soooo organised!

I'm getting married on 4th October at a lovely hotel in Cambridge - we are marrying on a Friday on a package deal like yours too.

Great work on the photograher! I am currently looking into this at the moment. :-)

I feel like its ages away but actually its 13 months today! eek! xxx

Hi, I have booked my wedding for Oct 18th 2013 ! Feels ages away but I am sure it will fly by. I have booked venue, which includes all the decorations, disco, wedding breakfast etc. I have also booked my photographer. I haven't done much else really, need to start dress shopping soon.

Howdy.

I'm a Friday bride - 11th October to be exact.

I have so far...

Church

Reception Venue

Also have shoes, headpiece and booked a tog, oh and fairy lights for venue

Next thing are vog, bus, chairs and dress

I didnt realise how long it took for dresses to arrive after they've been ordered - that freaked me out a lot but when I saw "the one" I just knew I had to have it which took the pressure off!

I just saw in another thread that you're having a vintage travel theme - me too Terri!

It must be something about October 13 Brides haha

How long is your dress taking to arrive? I was waiting until October to get dress shopping so then its a year until the big day, also gives me chance to lose abit of weight.

I'm the 26th October 2013

I have my church, venue, dress and TOG.

I need to start work on my invites (hand making them) and do the little details - oh and BM dresses!

Another October 13 Bride here!! ? I'm on Saturday the 5th and am also getting married in Cheshire (Knutsford).

I have booked the venue, tog, cake, DJ and went dress shopping on Sat. (Amazing) I went to J'adore in Timperly and Lydia was so lovely and made me feel really at ease. They stock Mori Lee and Ronald Joyce and have a really wide selection of gowns. I tried on every style just to get ideas and really surprised myself. I also went to Agape and although i've heard great reviews I wasn't overly impressed. I felt a little more pressured and didn't really find anything I liked. That's probably just a matter of taste though. I'm looking for some others to try, so let me know if you find somewhere amazing. Looking forward to how we are all coming along over the next year x

Hello fellow October brides.

Hope all is well.

Booked our videographer at the weekend, and also paid deposits for fairy lights and chairs.

Next thing on my list is dress ?

Terri you will love the whole dress shopping experience. My advice try on EVERYTHING. You really will surprise yourself,even if you really hate in on the hanger. I've booked a couple more appointments for the 30th and can't wait for round 2. ?

It seems Terri left when I was on my hols...have I missed something?!

Anyway, as it's now in October, thought I would see how everyone is getting on.

I've done nothing more but am going dress shopping again in a couple of weeks.

Hello!!

I'm Karen, my H2B proposed to me on 6th April 2012, he wanted to move in before we got engaged so he moved in on 5th and proposed on 6th...ha ha. He took me to our most favourite place, where we used to go for some "us" time (live with my sister and her hubby) and proposed there which couldn't have been more perfect if I had of planned it myself. He wanted to get an ice-cream but my phone was at home on charge and I wanted to tell the world!! So I told my parents, they mentioned that they already knew because he'd asked their permission.

He then organised a surprise engagement meal that night. Bless him!

We are getting married in Bickley Manor. Our colours are burgandy and ivory and the wedding theme (although I didn't realise we had one) seems to be hearts. I'm a hearts and sparkles kinda girl. Our tables are named after sweets (we both have a sweet tooth). My sister is MOH with my 2 other bridesmaids as well and H2B's brother is Best Man with my sis' hubby as groomsman and H2B's best mate as other grooms man.

My first dance will be to "all about loving you" by Bon Jovi, I'm dancy with my dad to Edwin McCain "Walk with you" (can't stop crying at this song)...I've picked my dress and the girls dresses but not ordered yet (in case someone get's pregnant!).

H2B has 1 son with another woman (before my time obviously) who we are praying can come to the wedding but who lives approx 200 miles away and who's mum seems to enjoy saying yes and then coming up with excuses at the last minute. Grr!

Sorry but thought I'd introduce myself. Not sure what has happened to original poster...I've only just seen this thread

K x

Aw that's a shame. Don't know why she's left??

I have now got my dress, yey! I'm sure you will have seen it on another post ?

What style are you going for Kirsta? x

Karenanne - Not long now until the big milestone ?

I think you should flash on here too, there aren't enough flashes on here!

Not 100% sure yet. I have tried on a few so far, and I would like a dress I can change from day to evening potentially.

Current favourites at the mo are...

And

Hi fellow October brides!!!

I agree with Kirsta...flash in here too Nicola, I love your dress!

Ooh Kirsta, lovely dresses and both really different. I'm excited for you going to try dresses on, I miss that part! Been waiting for my dress to come into shop since December! Hopefully I will be getting the call soon..eeeek!

We paid our caterer deposit this week and ordering rings on payday

Well if you insist!! I'll show you some different ones [

PS - Kirsta I LOVE the first dress. As you can tell I am a fan of the lace ?

I know ?

Going to see Michael McIntyre that night as a year to the day wedding celebration with a meal out before hand! Can't wait. Can't believe I had 18 months to go when I got engaged and booked the venue! 1/2 a year has gone already! Sooooo excited!

Hiya everyone else!

Hello, another 26.10.2013 bride here. I have sorted the reception venue and that is all really despite being engaged since the end of may!

I would be more organised but my mother believes that a wedding can be organised in 3 months... Very very very seriously considering eloping

whats everyone doing for their -1 year anniversaries?!

We're having the afternoon off work, going for burgers and milkshakes and then going to Hatton Garden to buy my wedding ring ?

And then I have a tennis lesson. Oh the romance...

Ooooh lovely, sounds absolutely perfect, me and oh love tennis. We are probably going to my cousins joint 18th/21st, not exactly romantic...!

Whats your wedding ring like?

Hello and welcome. I think we are all at different stages of planning, plenty of time though so don't worry. ? Although I did get an email back from a MUA saying she wasn't available for my wedding date!!! She must be amazing if she's getting booked up 1 year in advance!!!

We are off out for a meal tonight for our -1 Anniversary, very excited and hoping to drink lots of champagne ?

Squeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all, I'm getting married 19th October 2013 at Slaley Hall in Northumberland.

I have the tog, DJ and save the dates sorted, which will hopefully be going out in the next couple of weeks. Have been to a few dress shops but not found 'the one' yet. Oh we've also booked our honeymoon to Florida!

Not sure what we're doing for our year to go yet but it will also be our 9 year 'anniversary'!

It's good to see how everyone is getting on with the planning, felt like I didn't want to do too much before the one year mark incase I changed my mind.

My colour scheme at the moment is blush pink and mint.

Look forward to hearing how you're all getting on

Next Thursday to be precise ?
