October/November/December 2011 Brides/Grooms

Ooo pinkypie my wedding is in December and we are going to collect our rings tomorrow. Im so excited aswell but OH is just like we are JUST going to collect the rings so why are you excited? He doesnt get it!

I'm 18th November and in same situation, making me start thinking I want to change my mind!! What made you choose Nov, I keep getting asked why not the Summer!! But I love that time or year.

My h2b doesn't quite get it either, having said that i get excited over everything, and i know he is interested in the wedding he just isn't a bouncing round the kitchen going sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee type of guy unlike me who as soon as i get anything wedding related i squeal lol ?

Erm few reasons, 1 venue doing an off season deal which saved us loads of money, 2 even if you get married in the summer in England you can't guarentee the weather anyway, 3 I love those cold crisp days when the sky is blue and the leaves have gone reds and oranges (i'm hoping for cold and crisp) and November was by default the deal the venue offered was October November December, the dates in October we sort of halloween time and didn't want a halloween themed wedding and didn't really want a christmas themed wedding so sort of got to 26th November and it stuck.

As much as i wish it was sooner i love the fact that its that time of year as if we get the right day our venue is going to look amazing.

I'm 26th November too.

My dress will be in the shop next month - WOO!

Rings should be ready this week sometime, waiting to hear from Smooch.

Next job is sourcing the Men's suits.. But I'm struggling to find exactly what I want! (I know, H2B should have a say in this but my word is final haha).

Bridesmaid dresses should have been posted either today or tomorrow so they will be here in a matter of days. Fingers crossed they fit my BMs else it's back to the drawing board.

The only other thing I need to do is decide what my Niece will be wearing as my Flowergirl..

We'r getting married 8th October and have got most of the big stuff sorted. We're having to have a hit list of jobs to sort out month by month due to my job taking me away for 2 weeks a month.

This leave will be meeting the Best Man and getting him measured for his shirts and suit, loooking at cars and trying to decide on the rings before the price goes up too much again.

I'm in need of a big meeting with MOH to organise other stuff as well. I've done a lot of research whilst at work, and just need to do the footwork when I'm off.

Saving money was good reason for us. I'm hoping for the classic weather as the photographs will be awesome in the gardens we have at the venue. Here's to hoping the weather is perfect on both weekends!! Whats your colour theme?

We've gone ivory and burgundy however because of my dress my official theme is ivory burgundy and diamontes. The flowers are very autumny (is that a word?!) as i have burgundy roses bridesmaids are wearing burgundy with ivory roses, diamontes throughout but all other flowers table centres etc are like autunm foliage and berries with the occasional flower for colour but the foliage is burgundy to and then table centres and candles with flowers round the base. There is a huge open fireplace which will be lit and then because the room is a 12th century hall the ceilings are so high, but i wanted low table centre pieces so everyone could see each other, on the window sills and stood up the sides of the fire we are having balloons (yes i know i am swearing at some hitchers) but not those huge balloon arches just like collections of three, i needed to add some height and didn't want tall flower arrangements.

How about everyone else colour schemes? Are you staying with autumn colours or not bothering?

Sounds gorgeous, we have gone with Oranges, Chocolate Browns and Dark Green foliage. Flowers are berries, and twigs (sounds odd but looks stunning). Place names cards are dried leaves which have been brush with some chemical that keeps them strong and name then written on. Table decorations are all about waling through a forest in autumn some quite flat and on slabs of wood with fruits, berries and leaves. I cant wait to see it all together...

I'm 15th october. have run out of things to do! everyhting is booked and sorted-just need to get the rings and then wait for mine & bridemaid dress's to arrive & have them altered closer to the date. am fed up of waiting lol-wish my venue had had an earlier date available but that was 1st free date for this year x

We're on purple and silver and white. Purple is our favourite colour. My dress is purple and OH is wearing a silver grey suit with lilac shirt and purple tie.

We're having 3 balloons on the tables to break the height, as our recption is in the banqueting hall at the Guildhall. No balloon arch though.

Think we have done all the major stuff (apart from rings!) was a lot easier than I thought it would be phew!

deffinatly! i thought it would be an absoloute nightmare but found everything i wanted more or less straight away x
