?yes

I had a RD veil ? You don't want to buy it back do you? ?

No sorry !!!

The problem I am going to have, is obviously for dress, shoes etc I will use shops I am familiar with. But I am in Cambridgeshire and I deal with appointments in the North of the country, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland so dont know the shops/owners in this area so well. It would be nice to see someone I'm used to talking to.

? I am, from Cambridgeshire and can recommend Brides by Solo for dresses, I got mine from there, definitely worth a look as it is only down the road in Newmarket and they have a good selection. They stock Maggie Sottero.

The lady from Bride-All in Exening is really sweet and I would also have a look at Astarte in Litteport, I drive by there quite often and she has some nice stuff in her window displays. She also stocks RD as I have just bought my niece something sparkly for her prom and the lady who owns Astarte is lovely!

I also tried on dresses at Christina Clayton's in Bedford and their dresses are lovely! They have some stunning gowns in there from some fantastic designers(I very nearly bought one). I know they stock your products because I bought my veil from their and it is a RD!

Also have a look at Mad Hatters in Ely (Fore Hill) for shoes and accessories, my mum got her fascinator form there, designed to match the colour and style of her dress. They are also stockists of Jim Helm BM dresses.

Where are you getting married?

Yes Cariad, it is Vicki [8D]

Thanks Mrs Kitty, I was thinking of going to Bride All in Exning. Also possibly The Wedding Box in Wisbech and Olivia Grace in St Neots. Astarte Brides in Littleport will be on my list too.

I would like to get married at St Mary's Church in ELy, but live in Witchford and have been told this might be a problem, even though I have only recently moved. We are thinking of having the reception at Needhams restaurant in Witchford too.

St Mary's is a lovely church. If you have just moved from Ely then go and see the vicar as soon as, you never know, they might take the fact you have just moved into account, it doesn't hurt to try!

I have heard such good reviews about Needhams, I think it is the best place to hold a reception locally. The people are really nice and so accommodating! We have booked it for a surprise birthday party for my dad for next month. My brother is a real foodie (chef in Edinburgh) and he has eaten there several times and says the food is fantastic!

I went to school in Witchford, a long time ago now!

I called them up yesterday and they are not taking 2010 bookings till next year, also the lady I spoke to said I might need to apply for a licence to get married there too. SO I suppose all I can do is wait and see. Witchford Church is lovely too, but my OH is paying to have his beloved 1972 VW camper restored and resprayed for the big day and wants to show it off, so he was quite disappointed that we might only get to drive a few metres from church to reception!! Other than Witchford, I might have a look at some of the other nearby villages.

Going to have a proper look at Needhams on Saturday. I have been there before to a wedding reception and surprisingly with my calculations come up the cheapest in the area for a sit down meal for 60 and buffet for 80. Just need to see what the OH thinks. And they only ask for a £300 deposit which is best I have seen.

Hi Zippy?

I've ordered my veil, through my wedding dress shop, from Richard Design - can't wait to try it on again when I go for my fitting, which should now be any day...then the wedding in 3 weeks!

Good luck with your planning.

Which veil did you go for?

Well the code is C55A I believe - it's a plain veil that goes down to my feet (without hitting the floor I think?), with a satin edge trim.

My dress is quite busy so wanted to go for something simple and elegant!

I know which one you mean. I think a plain veil looks best when you have a busy dress, thats what I will probably end up with.

When I tried the sample on in the shop it looked like it was made for it so I'm very pleased!

I love the c181a veil its gorgeous i sell loads of that it seems to suit every dress and the crystals are so pretty on it

Wait till you see some of the new ones. THey are gorgeous. I had a proper look at some of them today (you will see them on your newsletter), but the pictures dont do them much justice.

Hi

I am another of your stockists, the name gives it away really, we are in Norwich, so not that far from you, if you fancy coming to pay us a visit for trying on. Be glad to help you. Marie

Hi

Needhams is lovely, my friends had their reception there last year, really really good food.

You live near me, I'm in Wilburton!

Not a stockist of yours though - I teach children's cookery classes!
