I found this on the CofE website, my vicar told me that the cost goes up in January each year though so for 2012 will be slightly more.

Oh my goodness, ok this has helped!!

All I have done

Booked Church

Booked Venue

Booked TOG

Booked Florist

Booked Cake Lady

I need to pull my finger out!!

we were told £800. You have the CoE fees but then the church costs as well

The CofE fees are around £350, these are set fees and should be the same for every CofE church. However each church will charge their own fees for organist, bells, lighting & heating etc - for our tiny village church these total an extra £210 but I know others charge a lot more!

Meant to add, I am August 2012 and so far I have:

Booked - church, village hall, caterer, photographer, florist, DJ, cake lady, ice cream cart

Bought - my dress, tiara and shoes, BM's and flowergirl's dresses, OH's suit, shirt and cufflinks, our wedding rings, decor bits and pieces (paper lanterns, vases, tablecloths etc)

Made - ring pillow, garter, bunting, STD's (and sent these), mock ups of table names, invitations, favour jar labels

Still to do - pageboy outfit, sort booze (free bar), buy garden games, make favours, book hair and make up, put together guestbook and boudoir book, buy gifts for wedding party, get rings engraved, sort honeymoon and countless other things that it makes my head hurt to think about!

Really need to get organised, haven't done much on the wedding planning front for a few months but it's fast coming up to a year to go, eekk!!

*waves at date twin*

I wish I got to have taste-testing! I might see if I can persuade the venue into it

So far I've booked most things:

TOG, Florist, Registrar, String Quartet, Transport, Rings, Accommodation, Dress, Hair&Makeup lady, Cake, Cake Topper

In Progress with:

DJ, Invitations, Suits

Things I've not really done anything on:

Bridesmaids dresses, accessories (shoes, jewellery, veil etc), favours

I'm *almost* decided on colour scheme and when this is settled I think I'll be moving into the details phase! I also need to think if I need more entertainment. I'm going to do a 'one year to go' mood board with pics of the booked things and idea things on it so hopefully will be able to flash soon.

Oh Wow...How excitied are we gonna be on the same day!!! mad isnt it!? xxx

I am the same and really CBA doing anything else now... I think everything that needs booking/deposits is booked and deposited, especially now we have sorted our honeymoon. I have lost my will to plan!

Yay!!! I knew I'd find one! Is it the longest day on our wedding daty? People keep asking me! I'm so excited to find a twin! WIll keep an extra look out for your posts. Nothing to flash yet though, sorry! You're much more organised than me!
