Hi all, Just wanted to know what a few of you are doing, regarding bridesmaid dress. Do you buy the dress for them? OR do you choose the dress and allow them to buy their own dress? My partner and I,...

I had no idea just deciding who wears matching suits would cause me so much stress. Obviously as every suit is around £100 to hire we are trying to not have too many. I think we have decided on the...

When OH and I first got engaged it was wonderful. All exciting. For the last 2 months we have done nothing but argue. It reached boiling point yesterday when we had agreed on a number for the day - 70...

Hi Ladies I'm wondering if you are having any decorations down the aisle? My aisle is not traditional per se - its more of two semicircles (smaller wedding). I don't really want anything hanging off...

As much as I enjoy posting on this forum, I also enjoy reading other people's posts and getting into the psyche of the average bride-to-be. I find it really fascinating actually. The one thing I've...

Is anyone throwing there bouquet or getting a separate one to throw? I don't want to throw mine, plus it has brooches in so could possibly cause damage! Not sure if the whole throwing of the bouquet...

It's nearing the time for me to go looking for a dress, and I've come across Your Wedding Shop in Birmingham a few times. Anyone had any experiences? You dont require an appointment so it cant hurt to...

So, after helping a couple of fellow hitchers very briefly... I thought ok. Maybe I should go for it and create a blog. Who would be happy/interested to come on board and help me out? i would like to...

Hi! In the past few weeks I have become embarrassingly obssessive about saving for our future and cutting costs on the wedding where possible! It's driving my loved-ones crazy!! And I've just been...

Hi, I'm just wondering how you pay for a venue that's quite far away? (So you can't go and pay in person). My bank won't allow me to pay the £800 deposit over the phone, so the venue have emailed the...

So, OH tells me that his sister (who lives abroad but co-owns his house) is coming back for a month or so at end of summer. She's bringing someone back to meet the family, so she wants to use his...

I was reading an article somewhere (can't find it now - typical!) about how grooms to be are no longer asking for permission to get married to there brides to be. The question is did yours? Mine asked...

So my OH (first time i've used that phrase - weird!) wants 4 ushers as well as his best man whereas i'm having just the two bridesmaids. Do you think it'd look weird having different amounts of each?...

Hi Everyone i am newly engaged (last week) and super excited so I'm keen to get the ball rolling. What's the 'done thing' when going to see venues? Should it just be me and H2B going to see then at...

I am wondering what you guys have decided to do, to 'fix' problems that you have seen at other weddings. No, this is not ANOTHER 'poke the bear' rant, so please avoid saying "I hate chair covers, so...

When a venue is offering an 'all inclusive wedding package' say... 40 guests for day and evening at £2000 and then they say additional day guests £30 additional evening guests £12 does that mean the...
