Right I am bored, stuck in the house with a poorly toddler. Being as I have not been here very long tell me about your venues and your dresses.

    This is my dress:


    Its by Ellis Bridal, and I'm getting married/having the reception here:


    Its a lovel old hall called Hutton Poplars just outside of Brentwood in Essex. It's right near my HRB's family home and he used to walk his dog past the hall everyday. It's lovely inside the hall is massive with lovely dangling lights, and there's additional fuctions rooms where the bar is for when our family's want to escape the loud music of the evening reception.

    3 months to go today! Can't wait!!

    Is that Blists Hill in Ironbride? If so I tke my children there lots (always for the fireworks) as it is only 15 minutes from me. Lovely location.

    Once again there are some great venues here and some fantastic dresses.

    Yeah I know what you mean - in all the wedding magazines I've flicked through or bought I've never seen any other Ellis dresses advertised. I found my dress in a bridal shop in Bridgend, it was off the rack in their sale and the simple ellegance of it left me stunned - it was beautiful. And I love the corswet back too - makes me look slimmer than I actually am.

    I'm off to start booking my fitting/alterations appointments from next week. ?

    Yes it is the one in Madeley. Love it there and its quite quirky for a wedding venue too as guests can go round etc while its still open while we have our pics taken.

    Fanhams Hall in Ware, Hertfordshire. We've hired the Great Hall for our reception and hoping to get married outside. If you wanted something a bit more modern they've got a conservatory on the other end of the building. They've got lots of different areas for photo's too which was a plus. I love it. x

    It's very flattering. There were two other dresses I almost went for and this was the last one I tried on. I went shopping with my CBM to show her the dress I'd picked and just for fun we went to another place and I let her pick one dress for me to try on. She picked this one and that was it! I was converted!
