Discussions I've Participated In

Hi all, My OH and I don't eat any animal products, so it doesn't make sense to serve them at our wedding (especially as we're getting our own caterers in). Many of our friends are veggie, and those...

I'd like to consider myself a reasonably relaxed bride, although I'm sure I'll be an emotional stresshead on the day. But I actually just got a bit rude with someone over wedding accommodation (Which...

We found a photographer whose style we loved about a month ago, emailed her then forgot to follow up on her reply. She popped me a friendly email to say she'd had another enquiry for that date. True...

I am trying to finalise my budget and was wondering do we need to buy thank you gifts for people such as bridesmaids, groomsmen etc? Are you going to and what sort of thing do you get? Thanks in...

I was just wondering if there were any 2018 brides or grooms out there! I was originally 2017 but we had to postpone so now we are 2018! So I thought I would start up a wee forum thread and get some...

I want to go and try on a very particular (floral!) dress I've found online which is in London (so, with tubes, probably only 35 mins from me but still a little bit of a trek). I'll probably try more...

Seriously fed up with everything to do with wedding planning, tired of family complaints, tired of the over the top price brackets and fed up that my mother is trying to avoid altering my ivory damn...

Hi All, We've been super patient with our photographer, but other than the preview collage I posted (which took 3 weeks!) we haven't seen any photos yet. Wedding was 6 weeks ago now, and I'm beginning...

Hi Our venue has now installed a sound limiter at the venue and it has been set prohibitively low. Now, this wasn't even mentioned in our contract that and the venue have signed so am I right in...

Hey all. I've started seriously doubting a decision we made when we sent invites. Our wedding is on quite a small budget, and the venue itself is small too, so we can't invite everyone. Originally we...

Hi, I'm really hoping I can get an opinion on what to do in my situation. I've recently gotten engaged to the person I've been with for quite a few years. Unbeknown to me, his sister then announces...

Hi! I'm just getting final lists together as wedding is now less than a week and just realised I've got no plan for what food to buy for in the hotel! I'm staying in the hotel with my daughter the...

Hi everyone... this is my first post and I'm just wondering how realistic it is that I'll find a dress i LOVE with only a small budget? I have budgeted £1000 for a dress and realistically I can't...

Hello all! I've joined back up (previously rockabird). We've had so much drama going on that I pretty much had to delete all social media presence for a while. Some absolute fruitcake tried to cancel...

I always thought cake got served after the speeches or is it before the first dance? Also not sure on the size of the cake to order? I was going to have it just for the day guests. However now I am...

Hi, I am planning on doing my own flowers for the table centrepieces and considering our flower options. We're having 6 jam jars really simply filled with white flowers and a bit of greenery. I spoke...

I am trying to find some pretty save the dates to send out as we do the rounds at Christmas, however I don't really want to spend £250 upwards on save the dates and invites for people to throw in the...

I've recently got engaged and want to start putting ideas together with my partner but have no idea where to start we are looking at maybe a 2020 wedding but I feel if I don't start now it won't...

Hi I just dont know what to do about the wedding cake! Never really thought it was a biggy in terms of other things for the wedding. I would like chocolate sponge as hate fruit cake but H2B says if...

After 18 months of engagement, we've booked our venue for Saturday 25th August 2018 (bank holiday weekend...wooh!) Now to see if the church OHs parents married in 30 years ago will marry us...

Hi all Looking for a bit of advice/general consensus on this one please... We get married in just under 10 weeks but from the start of our planning (Jan 2015), we have spoken about making a donation...

We get married in June and just looking to get everything finished off. I asked OH what he wants to do about a guestbook and he originally wanted to go for a normal guestbook. I didn't really want...

Is there any way of providing an open bar but preventing guests from ordering bottles of Bolly with cognac chasers? My friends and family are decent people but a lot of them have much more money than...

Hi This might be a little of a tough find, but i would like to find a pretty village or church hall with some outside space to hold the reception. We're looking in and around Warwickshire, but willing...

So we still haven't totally made our minds up on a venue yet. We've paid a deposit on one place but now really considering somewhere else. But anyway.. I've got my dress! Seen it in a bridal mag that...

I have recently got engaged. I chose my four bridesmaids when I got a very passive aggressive text from another friend saying she had seen I'd picked my bridesmaids and she'd forgive me earlier...
