shells bday wedding x

Congratulations, nice to meet you. As you say, if you don't want a lavish affair, you can do quite a lot on a little budget. Feel free to ask questions, there are always lots of opinions here.

Sounds like you are well on the way with the planning, good luck

Hi Shell, you sound very calm and organised I bet your little girl is so excited to be a princess for the day! what is your colour scheme? and can you flash your dress?! xx

Thanks girls. My colour sceme is aquamarine and silver. I will start to flash when I get my note book working Can't do it on my iPhone x

What flower is this?

Hi Aqua welcome! you sound like you have everything under control. If you need help and advice the Hitched brides are great! I love your colour scheme I looked at it but the colour didn't suit one of my BM's so I'm Petrol Blue, Silver and Ivory now.

Good Luck x

Welcome!! hope the planning goes well and we share our birthday x

Hello and thanks everyone. I can't upload a pic of my dress but I hav maggie sottero annalise does anyone know what size hoop would work best. I have a 2 at the mo and I'm not to sure. Thanks

Congrats! We are similar to you - already have children and our daughter will be bridesmaid. Our budget spiralled out of control though and now we are broke! My tip would be to keep a close eye on the budget and not be tempted to go over. Enjoy planning. It's going to come round quickly

Congrat and welcome, your getting married the day before me eekk, and 3 months today, how exciting! Hope all the planning is going well, I have had a massive wedding week with everyone getting in touch about things and things arriving, my phone has not stopped for the last 3 days!! Good luck with it all x

Hello and congratulations! Best of luck with your planning! Looking forward to reading your updates

Same as me! 3rd November?

Wahoo computer is up and running so can now talk properly to you lovely people. So a bit of information about my wedding. Even though ive been with my partner 8 years and engaged for 5 we only decided to actually start planning the wedding a few weeks back. We originally decided on mid december as i didnt want to get married 2013 as im to superstitious and was no way waiting till 2014. I started re thinking the december date with it being so close to xmas and having 4 kiddies, xmas in this house is stressful enough without adding a wedding to it. One of my aims in life was to be married before i was 30 so i thought heres my chance to achieve it. So the wedding will take place on friday 2nd november 2012 (which is my dads birthday)and i turn 30 on the 4th november, so its a tripple celebration.

I reassured my h2b i didnt want anything fancy and we could do it on a budget of £1000, wow how wrong was i. We have no savings and we have both agreed we are not using credit or loans so basically we are paying as we go along. My £1000 budget has now just hit over £4000 and thats without a fancy venue or a wedding breakfast. I have made my own invatations, favours,centerpieces and will be decorating the british legion (where we havin reception) myself the eve before. I began with the ideas of a small family wedding at the registray office and i would make everything myself including cake but that went out the window. We are now getting married at a tudor hall with 80 people then a reception at the british legion with about 110.

Spent today ring shopping didn't buy but got some ideas. What's everyone else chose.

Hello and welcome?

Here's my ring (Smooch). It'll be slightly narrower than this one.

What a lovely ring, it's a similar style I was wanting originally but because of my e ring I can't have.

Well I'm all married now. Was a fantastic day. Off on honeymoon Thursday, can't wait xD

Congratulations! Any flashes?
