Wedding in Southampton help!!!

Kathie 2010, 23 August, 2009 at 19:26 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi this is my first question post so hope i'm doing it right!!! I am getting married July 2010. I have found a venue but looking for any recommendations for photographers, flowers, hair and make up in this area that other brides have been really happy with. It is such a big decision and would rather go from recommendations.

Thanks Kath

    Hi Kath

    Welcome to Hitched! Sounds exciting...where is your venue?

    Not a bride, but I am a HIB if that counts! I would recommend Hils at www.hillaryjanewells.co.uk for your photography, and I am a florist based in Portsmouth. You can view my website at www.bygeorgebespoke.co.uk if you're interested.

    HTH a bit!

    Georgie

    Just thought I would say hello to another Southampton person from an old married! Can I be nosey and ask where you are getting married?

    You didn't mention entertainment. if you're looking for a professional wedding disco try the wedding dj association (linky is in my signature). There are some useful pages on the site too such as things to consider during your wedding breakfast, a wedding planner, ideas for music etc.

    Thanks for all your help. Georgie your website is beautiful, how far in advance is usual to start thinking flowers? The venue is the Botleigh Grange.

    Hi Kathie,

    I got married in Southampton too! The people I had and would recommend are below:

    Flowers: Helen at Bloomin' Flowers - www.bloominflowers.co.uk, she was amazing (and my bouquet is on her website!)

    Photographer: Brian Parkes - www.brianparkes.com was also amazing (and is on Hitched somewhere)

    Hair/makeup: will look the lady's number up if you like (can't remember her name I'm afraid!) but was ok, a bit pricey really but did a good job - made me look good which is a feat in itself Smiley winking

    Band for evening if you're interested!: The Groove Company www.groovecompany.co.uk

    Not sure what else you would like to know, i may need prompting as it was few years ago... Smiley winking

    HTH xx
