So let the stresses commence.....

ellijames, 10 November, 2011 at 15:58 Posted on Planning 0 12

..... with 295 days to go the stresses have begun!!

Our DJ cancelled last night as he is now getting married that weekend! I competley understand, he's an old friend and we had no contract as it was a mates thing but still frustrating, so on a search for a DJ now, I'm tempted to stick to the hotels resident one and be done with it now!!

My wedding dress shop has closed down, lucikly I have my dress and its being stored at my sisters house, but I need to find a seamstress now to do my alterations.

Nothing major and plenty of time to sort these things, but with everythingelse going on in our lives at the moment this is stressing me!!

    And breathe!!!

    I know it's frustrating, but there's plenty of time to sort it Smiley smile

    Have you heard whether the resident DJ is any good? Perhaps you could speak to your venue, tell them you've been let down - they might throw him/her in for free?

    As for your dress, I'm sure there are lots of seamstresses around. Just got to have a goosie gander and see who's about. Have a look in your local yellow pages.

    Whereabouts are you in the world? Someone on here might be able to recommend a good seamstress or DJ.

    You are so very right, I just needed to vent I think!! Tried calling the seamstress from the shop a few times but she's not answering!!

    I have no idea re the resident DJ I did attend a wedding fair at our venue and he was there, but I paid no interest as we had ours sorted!! Lol!!

    Like you said plenty of time to do these things!!

    Thanks for taking time to reply xx

    So frustrating, my dress shop closed down too. I must admit this caused me major worries about my dress, but think I have found a seamstress now. With regards the hotel DJ I've worked in lots of hotels - some of the house DJ's are fantastic, some are just a bit pants, see if you gatecrash someones evening do or christmas party for half an hour to have a listen before you book.Hope you get everything sorted.

    I'm no where near there I'm afraid, but I hope you get things sorted soon. It might be worth asking dress shops who they use for alterations. The shop where we got our bridesmaids dresses from were able to recommend a few local people. Good luck with it all.

    Don't be so worried about it. Everything will be all right in a suitable moment! You know sometimes losing is not always a bad thing, instead it could be a new lucky start.

    Sorry you are having stresses!

    I know of an excellent seamstress in Bristol if that helps.

    Go into Fabric Magic in Town and they have a list of seamstress.

    The DJ that did the wedding fair in Leigh Park was ok Smiley smile

    All will be fine I am panicking about how much there is and if I am not ready in time. I just want the day to be about me and my OH and not making everyone else happy. xxx
