Update on my plans... 10wks to go EEK! and Help!

tressls, 7 June, 2011 at 21:30 Posted on Planning 0 1

Hi all

Just thought I would update you on my plans!

As you know (or maybe not), I have conquered my problems of my 10.30am wedding followed by reception at 7pm (!) by finding a brilliant deal at a hotel in the next town to me. It's a fair way and with 10wks to go I have STILL not sent invites out, and can't do until I order them on 17th June and receive them... EEK again!

I now have a 4.30pm wedding for around 30 guests (will be more including kids if people invited come). Followed by a meal and toasts etc, and photos as a local golf club. Then after another quick room shuffle it will be time for the reception.

So far we have got the following- if anyone can think of anything more let me know!

My dress- a copy of Alfred Angelo 1645 from asapbay/Landybridal. STUPID me kept trying it on in here and managed to get marks on the bottom but as it's far too long (measured myself!), it needs taking up anyway. I really need to get it shortened as soon as I have cash and hung up in my mums house or something as it's crunched up in the bag it came in like a sleeping bag!.

This is the AA version on a pretty model so.. not like me!!


My shoes- ordered these from eBay after my Lightinthebox disaster (although they have offered full refund and I dont have to send them back, but they are un-wearable and un-sellable anyway). I also ordered some Nicholas Millington ones from Littlewoods but sent those back as they were ivory not white and looked wrong.



Groom has this suit and some trendy burtons shoes, along with this waistcoat and cravat

And this headband- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270461472565&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_640wt_905

And this jewwllery- https://www.bhs.com/mall/productpage.cfm/bhsstore/1169117/132408

I would like my hair in a low tousled side bun hopefully.

I am doing my own makeup (Any help please on the best, esp as i plan to have a light fake tan?)

I plan to have a spray tan (always done own but dont fancy risking it!), nail extensions and eyebrow wax.

I need some new perfume- something really feminine -not too sporty or overpowering- ideas please? Flowery, feminine, fresh?

I plan to have a small purple and white bouquet- but with purple instead of the lilac small flowers... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190536968555&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123#ht_500wt_1156

I just need a buttonhole for the groom- am I supposed to have a buttonhole for the BM too, or a bouquet for the MoH?

I have no idea how I will get down the aisle as I have no one giving me away! Ideas? With young BMs, MoH, both, neither?!?!

Still no first dance music or wedding music but here are my ideas

Wedding-

First Dance-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOA-2hl1Vbc Breathe Again (or is this more of a ceremony music?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw5pAshxY80 Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbg7YoXiKn0 Stand By Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_E2EHVxNAE Right Here Waiting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hU3ITj2Ams Gravity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLS0kRAsSoo I can't Help Help Falling In Love

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0put0_a--Ng Make You Feel My Love

HELP! Nothing means anything in particular to us.. which do you prefer? What other wedding music can I have, for walking in/signing reg etc? Eek again!
