Probably just me having wobbles!!!

Hi Lizzy - first of al - breathe!

Its only natural to have several wobbles along the way. you still have about a year to go and you've sorted out much more than some people (erhem... note countdown below...).

sounds like you've done really well on budgeting, as for the bridesmaid dresses - is there anything you can do about those? can you return or replace them if you really don't like them? What's your colour scheme at the moment (the one you'd like to change) maybe you can still change it to adifferent combination, keeping one of the colours, etc?

you're mum is obviously appreciating what great ideas you have - gI would go ahead with them and let her sort her own wedding when the time comes - everyone ads their own personal touches anyway.

I really don't know if this helps, but chin up - you've still got plenty of time...

Hiya!!

Don't know if it can be done, but is there not a local(ish) art or technology college nearby who have student photographers? They might do your pics cheap in return for wedding photography experience or building a portfolio?

Just an idea!!

Jo ?

Hi 22tango,

Thank you for your advice and I'm breathing lol

My colour scheme is Burgundy but am debating Teal and silver??? I can't return the dresses as they were on sale! I could maybe put the other dresses on ebay and try and pull some money back. If I changed my colour scheme I would be ok at the mo as nothing else has been set in stone yet, I don't start confirming decoration until Jan/Feb The burgundy dress is what I have at the mo is full length corset back with diamante detail on the bust area It looks so much nicer on...

And the ones I have been looking at are...

Not too sure I think I am going to leave it until after Christmas before I make any rash decisions

Thank you again

Hi Jo,

I'm not too sure but it would be worth a try might phone a couple on Monday and see if they do anything like that!

Thank you for the idea!

Mel

I love both dresses.. burgundy is hopefully going to be my colour theme or a brighter red...

I agree with you leave it for a while and see what you feel after xmas

Gosh maybe there is something about burgundy that gives people the wobbles!

Ive picked burgundy and have had wobbles about the colour being a bit harsh and am thinking about changing to pink!!

Trouble is my dress has a fiull skirt and i dont want anyone thinking full skirt and pink = Jordan for the day!

Think im sticking with burgundy for that reason.

You can get some lovely burgundy bits - where did you get your bridesmaid dresses from?

Ive been looking at a local bridal shop and debenhams.

Perhaps your a really organised person? I am and then I get restless and worry about the decisions Ive made in case something nicer comes along for the wedding etc.. when it gets too much for me I put it to one side and leave it for a while.

Oh Karen i hope not i have burgundy for my colour scheme too!!! maybe we should start a burgundy wobbles thread???

you could call it "wobbledy"

Lol Tango!!!!!

Lizzy, hope you are feeling a bit better about things today??? Its natural to have wobbles about some of the decisions you make - we all do!!!

That's what I'm thinking is wrong with me! I am certain about the dress change (tried it on my other BM and really was not nice!) but not sure about my burgundy at the moment. I always wanted burgundy and with it being in October I'm getting married I think burgundy is a rich autumn colour and my bouquet I want...

I'm not sure will go with the teal dress!!! decisions decisions what is a girl to do????

I think as I said I will leave it until after Christmas and then decide! let's just hope I'm happy with the final choices.

The burgundy wobble thread made me giggle!!!

Thanks for all your replays guys I think I'm probably just having a couple of off days

Karen Burgundy and teal work very well together, its a more bold colour combo but it does work...

(I have posted this before )

Sorry but I really love the teal and silver colour scheme! I think you could have loads of lovely silver accessories and teal chair bows, I've got it all pictured! That's just my opinion, I think it's different and modern. I had a few wobbles over my gold theme and toyed with changing to a sage green but then decided to go with my first choice which was the gold, decided it was the first colour I'd pictured my day in so must be "the one" for me! Although H2B isn't that bothered about accessories and stuff he preferred the gold so that swung it for me too. Which does your H2B prefer?

Hey Lizzy,

I totally know where you are coming from and one Sunday afternoon, when I had too much time on my hands, I scraped all the original plans and called my mum to see if she would mind us getting married when we go home over xmas and New Year. Thankfully she said she thought it was a great plan and we are now getting hitched on NYE with 36 guests and a party the following day.

The whole wedding is going to cost about half of the original one, its much smaller, more cost effective and we get to start off the next decade as Mr and Mrs.

Re your colour scheme, I've changed this too. Was slightly easier for me to do this as the dresses hadn't been bought. However, the maxi teal dress you posted is what the bridemaid will be in, with silvery/grey accessories and I'm doing something different and decorating the venue according to what will match it........... gold.

I would take some time out and think about all your options, would you incur charges etc for changing venues etc etc. If it is cost effectiveness you are going for then maybe sticking to your original plans would be better.

I would never have put these two together!!! How different! Thanks 22tango!

Hi WendyQ,

I am really swayed to the Teal and silver (I'm a magpie love all things shiny and sparkley lol)

I want it to look classic but with a modern twist! H2B said he does not mind as long as he isn't wearing pink and I make up my mind lol He's took a step back with the planning his area is the music!

Thanks

My venue is fab I'm happy with that. The owner has done me a brilliant deal with us having such a low budget. She is giving us table linens, runners, centre pieces, chair covers, top, cake and buffet tables decorated for £300!!! I can't grumble at that! The only things that we will get extra cost on would be the dresses I have already bought But I got them in the sale at £40 per dress so it would not be such a huge loss.All my confirming colours,schemes, flowers, dresses, suits etc don't have to be done until Feb when all the plans start coming together decoration etc...

I'm just glad I'm not going crazy and somebody else has done this lol

Yours sounds lovely and intimate I bet you can't wait!

Thank you for your reply amee!!!
