October 2015 brides....

Oh no it is just me hehe

October is a popular month, well this year it is anyway so it wouldn't surprise me if a few brides are along shortly. If not, I'll be your friend ?

Yay thanking you It's funny you are my friend as my friend recommended you

Really?? That is spooky!

Yup, my friend is called Julia and she is from Halifax

Well that was lovely of Julia from Halifax to recommend me. Looking forward to hearing about all your plans. What barn did you choose?

It's not confirmed, but looking like Oakwell Hall, not sure if u've heard of it. I'm having trouble making a decision haha

That looks fab, lots of character!! Was there a choice of venues? Don't beat yourself up about making the decision. It's a huge investment so just take the plunge when your sure.

Well Mitton Hall is a close contender. I also liked Danby Castle, but too far away.

Oh gosh, I don't envy you. Love the balconies in that one! Have you seen them in person?

Yeah, I am torn! But I got that excited feeling that you are meant to get when you find your dress for oakwell. Mitton is nice, but the reception room is very normal.

Looks like that's the one then ?. Which one would you be more upset about missing out on??

I think Oakwell, I just don't want it to look cheap... Does that make sense?

Makes perfect sense. I haven't seen it in person but from what I've seen online (not just on their website), it certainly doesn't look cheap! Imagine what you could do to it too!

Aw thanks for your opinion. I am rubbish at making decisions and Oakwell does have a few quirks to work around, but so do I. I don't want a boring wedding.

I have lots and lots of ideas on what to do at Oakwell, but then Mitton is in the back of my head. Haha. Should never have gone to look at it with my OH after I had my heart set on Oakwell.

Could you possibly take time out one day and pop back to see both with your pros and cons head on. Might really make your mind up on one when you see it with fresh eyes!

Yeah, taking the rents with me to Mitton on Sun They love Oakwell, now I am scared they will prefer Mitton. Haha, what am I like.

Hopefully that will be the decision maker! Let me know how you get on!

Whoop venue booked, and planning well under way

MissMoo I'm an October 2015 Bride!!!!!

What date in October are you?! I'm the 3rd!!! It's 651 days away! It's seems like ages, but when we booked the venue it was 701 days, and it's gone relatively quickly so far!!!

Hey, we are the 10th. What kind of venue you gone for. I am scared of the whether EEK

You're the week after me!

We have booked an Edwardian Manor House with an adjoining Marquee! We are getting married in our local church. I'm so excited!

Whats your venue like?! Have you booked anything else?!

i think the weather can be dodgy at anytime of the year! My friend got married in June this year and it rained for most of the day! I think with an autumn wedding that it will be sunny, but maybe a chill though! I don't mind as long as it doesn't rain!!!

Aw sounds lovely.

We we have booked a barn

So far I have booked the caterer, venue, registrar, hairdresser and photographer. I am decorating the venue myself so started making things already

You are very organised! A barn will be lovely!! Do you have a theme?!

We've only booked the church and venue (inc the catering etc) so far!

We are looking at doing the florist, DJ and photographer in the new year!

Im also buying my favours in the new year and making those, and I'll probably order the invitation material as I'm making those too! x

Erm, I am going very rustic/vintage with an autumn theme. How about you?

You doing save the dates? When you sending your invites?

We are having a beach theme!

I've actually sent some of our save the dates already! I know it's ages away, but close friends and family were asking so I thought I'd send them! I made them myself!

Im planning on sending my invites end of Feb 2015, that way it'll allow enough time for them to come back to me, and it'll give me time to chase people if they haven't sent it back! I'm just trying to be as organised as possible! x

Wow a beach theme

I am am beginning to wonder if I should have sent some by now.

Maybe send them early next year? I sent ours November as I didn't want them getting caught up in the Christmas post! I have a few others that I will send out in January. I've only sent them to close friends and family that I know I definitely want there. Other people like work colleagues I was planning on waiting until it's a little closer to the time, just because things can change and I might change jobs etc so I didn't want to send them a save the date in case I end up moving jobs and never speaking to them again! xx

Yeah true. I may wait till spring when we have had our engagement photoshoot!!

That would be nice! You could incorporate one of the photos into your save the date! x

That's what I was thinking

You'll have to put up a flash of them once you've designed them! I would put mine up but I don't know how to upload a picture! x
