September 2015 brides

Thanks we used to live in the square so it seemed an obvious choice

Sounds like you have pretty much everything sorted Junie! I'm too much of a procrastinator for that....

Hi Junie,

If you're looking for a quality reportage from your Big Day, you can visit my website at: www.przychodzien.com and check my work.

Regarding bridesmaids dresses - dark blue is a great idea it always looks beautiful on the photos - you should definately go for it

Cheers,

Tom

I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to register!

We're also getting married on 12th September in Staffordshire. So far have booked venue, registrar and photographer. Bridesmaids dresses are ordered and should be with me by the end of the week! Also got a couple of meetings with some venue decorators this week and next week. Have emailed about a cake and have also emailed the DJ to book. My two big bridesmaids are hairdressers so they will be doing all hair on the morning, also one of their sisters is a beautician so will go to her for nails, tan etc a couple of days before and she will hopefully do my makeup on the day!

Other half thinks I'm being far too organised (in his words I'm rushing) but its a few less things to tick off the list!

Originally wanted my bridesmaids in mint but all mint dresses I have seen so far I've hated! I found some online a couple of days ago in duck egg that look amazing, free delivery and returns so they can go back if I don't like them. OH has now said he doesn't like duck egg and it won't go with navy which is the colour he wants to have his suit! So will be having a duck egg/lemon colour scheme if I keep the bridesmaids dresses

Not really having a theme!

Going shopping for my dress in August with my 2 big bridesmaids and my mum. Originally wanted to wait until 12 months before but my mum is away for two weeks in September so thought we would start a month early!

Been engaged two years on the 2nd July but were saving for a house which we moved into last year. Thought wedding would be off the cards for a few years at least until my mum sprang it on me that she had £13,000 put away for me for my big day! Was originally budgeting up to that until we found our dream venue which has taken a huge chunk of that! So we are now saving hard ourselves in order to contribute and also for the honeymoon.

Well I ordered some envelopes for our STDs, only to find I'd accidentally picked C6 instead of C5 sized, like a complete wally! Luckily they have said I can send them back for a replacement but honestly.... what a tool! ️?️

I also did a spreadsheet the other day to track costs, I was a little bit "we've spent how much?!?". So much for that budget.... ? I plan to keep a tighter control on the finances from now on!

How are everyone else's September plans going?

Hey, I just ordered my save the date magnets yesterday too. I'm off to the florist tomorrow to book that in and then I'm just going to chill out for the school holidays. X

Things are going well!

We're on the brink of booking our entertainment (bumper cars!) and our save the dates have been ordered and have gone to print. They should be posted out on Monday ?

Make up has been booked, my dress has arrived and i'm currently designing our invitations. It's been a pretty busy month!

I'm getting married September 26th 2015!

I live in Cambridge and we've booked Granary Estates which is a beautiful barn in Newmarket. Other than that we've only booked our photographer and an acoustic music act, feeling a little like I haven't really done much now! ?

Our wedding style is romance & vintage. Don't really want a statement colour so going with neutral colours of white, ivory, champagne, nude & blush with some slate for decorations. I'm planning on being pretty DIY/Crafty with the venue decor, favours etc. We'll see how that pans out!

These are our STD's which I made, they went down really well! Sent those out about a month ago ?

Yay date twin!

We are getting married at offley place in great offley.

Book phoographer, ordered cake, got my dress (2 sizes too big in sample sale so needs altering)

bridesmaid dresses, save the dates ordered my shoes and veil. Flowers and table decs sorted!

I love being organised.

Xxx

Oh and cars booked too!

Well after the envelope debacle we finally got the STDs out and they've gone down an absolute treat. Our website's just gone live too and although there's not much on it yet, the positive comments are great.

Once they're out it's chillout time til at least March next year I reckon.... ?

I sent out my save the dates on Thursday, was so pleased with them. Yesterday I went outfit shopping with my mum and sister and found my Bm dresses are half price on sale and then today I managed to get a cracking deal on my hair and MUA (£200 off) and my hog roast. Only problem is my venue won't allow me to provide my own evening buffet unless I provide All of the catering and we can't use their kitchen. I was hoping to have a sit down 3 course for daytime guests and a hog roast buffet for the evening. Not sure what to do now really......

Hi fellow September 2015 brides!

We are getting married on 12th September 2015, like some of you here - yay date friends!!

We have booked our venue, registrar, car, florist, photograher, props, chair covers and sashes, accommodation, bought our invitations, sent out Save the Dates, bought props for our centre pieces...very organised! This way it means that all our deposits will be paid and we have longer to save for the bulk due next august

We are getting married at a vineyard in Surrey and I am completely over the moon with our venue, I feel it sums us up nicely - relaxed and with plenty of booze!

I have three adult bridesmaids (two are school friends and maid of honour is my old uni housemate) and OH is having two school friends and a work friend as his BM/groomsmen. They are the perfect people, a mix of sensible and completlely bonkers!

We are having a blue and yellow colour scheme with wild flowers and our florist in amazing and has totally got our needs, I am so excited to see them on the day!

Cake consultations are happening in September and dress shopping will begin then too! Ekkkkk!

I am not looking forward to being the centre of attention, but as long as I get to marry my OH, I don't care what I have to do!!

Loving reading all your posts so far, can't wait to hear more!

Mrs L To Be xx

Another 12 September bride here booked the service for 1.30 in the town hall of the town i grew up in and the reception at a hotel 5 miles up the road. Package at the hotel includes chair covers, cake, cars, meal, buffet, dj so paying deposit for that last september has ticked a lot off the list! bridesmaid dresses are hanging up at my mums and my dress was ordered in March and should come in around November. we got engaged a year past sunday and I cant believe how quickly its gone in - will be in the middle of last minute wedding prep before we know it!!

We're sending 'Save the Dates' with christmas cards but my mums working on ideas for stationary just now - she's very kindly offered to make it for us. favours are almost decided on and then I can bulk order from ebay/etsy and start making them. my fiance just needs to see about getting a kilt outfit made (early next year i think) and we'll be good to go

We booked our bumper cars today ? That's the entertainment sorted!

Our save the dates also arrived this week and I love them! I don't flash very often, but here goes

.

LOVE those!

I wish I could flash mine, they're similarly awesome (honest!) but not GoT themed.... ?

Ootelling me e!

After a horrible dress shopping experience where I came out quite upset, H2B had the raving hump and said he wasn't prepared to spend money in these places when none in my local area have any of the style of dress i want in my size ( street size 12/14, all shop had in fitted styles were 8 and 10)

Anyway,I digress...... We decided that if I bought 3 or 4 different styles of dress from eBay etc, spending no more than 200 a time, I could decide on a style and still not have spent what I was going to originally.

He chose me a beautiful mori lee dress bnwt model 4871 if anyone wants to Google and I loved it....or I thought I did. Although I said I may ask when I have it altered if they can add some more sparkle. Whilst llooking for a slimmer easier to dance in type dress i came across a Ronald Joyce Pandora dress, again cheap as chips, sent the link to hubby saying ahhh wish I seen this before. He put a bid in without telling me and 5 mins later my phone beeps.... ITEM WON!

So now I have two, very large very beautiful dresses. Not quite the big church dress and smaller party dress i was looking for......

Lucky lady! Are you going to wear one for the ceremony and one for the reception?

We've just had our first rejection from the STDs. Some friends have a family wedding on the same day. It's really sad but there's nothing we can do; family wedding trumps friends' wedding and I completely understand that. ☹️

How are everyone's plans coming along? I'm trying to imagine how I will feel this time next year - super excited!! ? x

Another 12th Sept bride here! We only booked it last Friday so im still slightly in shock!! We are having civil ceremony and reception in one place, quite informal with afternoon tea and hog roast. Venue is sorting all food/catering, chair covers, DJ, and will decorate for us with any extras we provide like bunting/fairy lights. We have booked the registrar. I have tons of ideas.... just got to turn them into reality! Feel like next big thing to tick off the list is the dress, so going to start shopping in next few weeks. I just know the time is going to race by so want to get all the smaller stuff done early to hopefully save stress further down the line!

Love this forum already.... think its going to be a life line!

I am date twin with Junie - 19 September 2015 but am much less organised!?

So far just the church and reception venue booked. Catering and DJ supplied by reception venue.

I think I have found both my dress and bridesmaids dresses though am waiting until I have been to a couple of wedding fayres before I take the plunge and make any orders! Also in discussions with photographers.

Currently trying to find the right wedding stationery supplier so I can order STDs!

Hey ladies, pretty much all the big stuff is booked, still not made it to the florist tho, am planning to go Thursday wen the kids go back to school.

I decided to sell one of my big dresses but quickly replaced it with a slimmer evening dress for the reception. Hows everyone else getting on?

This time next yr I will be a wreck x

I'm hopefully going to crank up
The planning next week as we can FINALLY book out registrar this week with it being 12 months off (eeek) we only have venue, dj, string quartet and photographer booked. I have my STD's which we'll send over the next week of so once we've got registrar booked. I still haven't been to see any dressss though :/ x

Hi ladies

Well my STDs are pretty much all out now and everything is booked and deposits paid so it's really just the dress. I went to a wedding dress place at the weekend and have a couple of designs pegged as being really nice and because they do bespoke gowns I can mix and match bits of both which I think is what I'll ultimately do but I need to go back several times so it's not going to be a quick decision. Plus they take 6 months to make it so good job I started early!

Other than that, I'm in chillout mode! Had a lovely lunch with my tog last week - I'm so chuffed I found her on here (thanks Hitched!), because she's ACE! ?

I was really excited all day yesterday as it was officially a year until our big day! Kept thinking....this time next year....!

We have had a pretty awful week though as my future mother in law passed away very suddenly on Monday. We are all doing ok and my OH is coping really well....its just hard to think of his dad on his own....we went and stayed for few days this week but its 140 miles away so we had to come home. Just feel like i need to put wedding planning on hold for a few weeks while we recover and get past the funeral too. I feel a little bit guilty for being so excited about wedding stuff while we have something so sad happening too.

Hope everyone else's plans are going well xx

I wasn't going to join anything like this as its second time around and then I thought what the heck...why not have a bit of fun.

Im an ancient bride, so have been there before, with the long white dress, four bridesmaids etc. this time it's going to be different.

This wedding has to be as cheap as chips and I'm flying ten family members out to the Canary islands for our wedding ceremony so I've spent our budget already.

We are getting married on the beach. It will be very casual. Just me, hubby, family and anyone else who can get themselves out there.

I'm not sure what to wear. I've told the family not to spend a lot of money on wedding clothes, they can come in shorts and t shirts if they wish. It's going to be red hot anyway Just as long as they are

Im hoping for Sept 19. It's a very special number for us.

Part of me would like a long but simple gown for under £100 or stretching to £150 at a push. I'd like a stretch jersey as I'm rather chubby and when I get out there I tend to bloat even more with the heat :-(

Most ready made dresses are chiffon. I wouldn't mind a stretch lace but my first dress was like that.

Ive bought two dresses for my wedding ( special occasion ones )and taken them back as I was too fat for them!

Nightmare really and I just don't want to diet.

If I was getting married in the uk I would do a Cath kidston/ romantically type theme. There's been some lovely bits on here for sale so it will just be a bucket and spade theme lol!

Oh yes, it will be 7 years next year that we've been together and almost 40 years to the day since my first wedding!

Yes, I really am that old,!!

Hi ladies I'm new to online forum's and I'm getting married September 12th 2015. I think I'm the most chilled out bride I've booked the church and the reception. Sorted bridesmaids ect

I'm making my own invites as we're on a tight budget!! Any one else making there's? I've also gone with a rustic wedding with peaches and cream as my colours I'm having sweets in tea cups as favours and flowers in tea pots or jugs xx

I've edited the first post to include all our dates. Looks like the 12th is winning the most popular date award! lol

Mustard_mitt – I’m 25th September

Mrs L-to-be, I’m based in Surrey, which vineyard are you getting married at? Only one I can think of off the top of my head is Denbies!

Future*mrsP, I’m so sorry to hear your sad news, my thoughts are with you and your OH xx

How’s the dress hunt going for everyone? I’ve found too many I like! It’s a tough decision. I'm naturally indecisive which really doesn't help. x

HappyRedCars135 it is indeed Denbies!! Have you been there? I'd love to know what other people think of it, although my rose tinted glasses will never come off!! x

Mrs L-to-be what a fab choice of venue! The pics on the website look amazing. I haven't actually been there myself yet - will be going in November for an evening event - but i know of a fair few other people who have been and enjoyed themselves. x

Futuremrsp, so sorry to hear that, hope you and OH are both doing ok.

Well the only things left now to book are my chair covers and decor bits and my candyfloss stand and popcorn cart, this is our worst rime of year coming up now, we have xmas, new year, OHs bday and then 3 out of 4 of our kids bdays all in dec and first week of jan, so wedding will take a bit of a back seat now until feb. The only thing to do after that is statiobary, other ppls outfits as I have my dresses and lots of saving money......
