Anyone know where I can get a birdcage veil in the next 2 weeks?
emmy1979 of Planning, 5 August, 2010 at 16:41

Well, after a series of crappy hair trials I am giving up and admitting to myself that I can't have my hair up ☹️. However, each time I've had a trial the hairdresser has put my hair in heated rollers...

Arrgggh, I am about to uninvite my sister to my wedding in a minute!
emmy1979 of Planning, 3 August, 2010 at 18:44

OM's - did your hair trial reflect your hair on the day?
emmy1979 of Planning, 22 July, 2010 at 14:20

So, bit of a dilemma. I had my hair trial last weekend. It's been a stress getting to that point tbh because she was the fourth hairdresser I'd been to and the only one willing to give the style a go....

Makeup trial flash, might as well as everyone else is doing it!
emmy1979 of Planning, 14 July, 2010 at 10:33

It went really well and I was really pleased with the result. I'm not very adventurous (read lazy) beauty wise so I insisted on a light touch and she did really well. My lip stain and gloss had worn...

Aargh! Why do people/guests get so weird about weddings?
emmy1979 of Planning, 8 July, 2010 at 12:09

I realise that I should be the bigger person here and just give in for the sake of familial harmony but honestly my sister is doing my head in. She turned round to me this morning and said 'I have...

Wedding planning blues, anyone else feeling stressed/bored/frustrated?
emmy1979 of Planning, 5 July, 2010 at 10:34

I don't know if it's because I still have lots left to do, or because I'm starting a new (very responsible job) 2 weeks before we get married or if I'm just getting cold feet! (joking) I'm starting to...

Title says it all really. I know the make up artist and mentioned in passing to her that I'm having a vintage village fete theme and she said bring some pics along. I've googled a bit and there is...

What's the protocol surrounding starting good luck threads?
emmy1979 of Planning, 9 June, 2010 at 17:13

Do you have to be a old time hitcher with 1000+ posts or can a new person start one too? I have no idea what the rules and regulations are on here. I'm usually a mumsnetter and forum etiquette on...

A 'dumbass' question for florist HIBs!
emmy1979 of Planning, 31 March, 2010 at 13:30

I am quietly dying inside having to ask this question but after searching online it's very unclear. Can you get real burgundy coloured gerbera's? Or only synthetic one's? Thanks!
