Discussions I've Participated In

I want to start by saying our photographer was AMAZING! I love lots of the photos (900+ pics, you're not going to love them all) She asked for a list, which I'd prepared even before she asked after...

Would you do wedding speeches before or after the meal? I'm thinking of doing them before the meal but wanted to know other people's opinions

I know both the Bride and Grooms Mothers get flowers, but what do you get the father of the bride as a thank you present during the speeches?

Is this normal? Have been totally chill throughout the whole planning. Completely relaxed. Wedding is on Friday and today I’ve lost it. Firstly two sets of evening guests cancelled for really nothingy...

Do I have to have a maid of honour? I’ve got my 3 closest friends as bridesmaids but I didn’t want to choose out of them. Can I just have 3 BMs??

Does anyone have any ideas of what gift to give the groom to say thanks for putting up with me x

It's not for superstitious reasons, but I really wanted to have the big reveal, surprise moment. I went dress shopping with my mum and maid of honour and facetimes my mother-in-law to be, so they are...

Not only is there Covid, a bad cold going round and now petrol on top of normal wedding planning!!! 4 weeks to go - I don’t know if my nerves will take it! 😢 anyone else feel the same?

I’ve fallen in love with a venue that’s up to 1 hr and 30 mins away for some guests on the list and everyone’s making a fuss about the distance but I don’t get the big deal? Its my dream venue and if...

Hi guys, My partner and I are getting married next year and we can’t think of how to cover childcare for our wedding night. We have 4 young children and a 15 year old to take into consideration. We...

How long before the wedding are people having their Hen/Stag Do? I don't want it too close but I don't want it too far before either.

Has anyone got married there recently? How was your experiences? Has anyone ever got married there in January/February? It looked great in the summer when we looked around but in the winter alot of...

I have a 10 year old sister who is going to be my bridesmaid. We would have had her as a flowergirl however I feel she is over that age now and would suit being a bridesmaid more. My issue is, I cant...

Has anyone made/going to make their own Bouquet? Due to my colour scheme etc (Red&Black - Gothic) i havebt seen any ready made that I like or think will fit in with my theme. I'm going to have...

I don’t know what to do. I’ve had my dress for quite a while as was bought in a sample sale & had to be taken the same day. I loved it so much but today when trying on tinsel sure I can do it up...

Hi all, Apologies for the slightly self-indulgent post (and sorry if this bums anyone out!) but would love any advice / input from anyone else getting married in Autumn / winter this year. I'm having...

Hi everyone I’ve started planning my wedding, and while I’m really excited about getting married, I’m starting to feel really embarrassed at the lack of friends I have and how obvious it will be at...

Hello all, just wanted your opinions on what drinks to provide for guests? We'll be having some day guests and then about the same again as just evening guests. At the moment, we are thinking a...

Our venue allows confetti in certain areas so we'd like to have some confetti shots for the photographer to capture. There are only 18 guests during the day, so I'm not sure whether to buy our own...

My best friend is a straight male and I want him involved in my wedding but I’m not sure where?!? I have three bridesmaids and I don’t think he’s keen to walk the aisle or stick out in general so I...

Just wondering really... Who saw your dress before the big day? Only my mum has seen it so far.

Hi ladies! Our wedding is 15th of October this year, so really not long now to get things organised! My junior bridesmaid (13 years old) is my HTB's little sister and I'm currently trying to organise...

Okay, so I know there are discussions for.rhis already, but I feel like the suggestions are not right for me. Can you please read below and feedback any new ideas please? Thank you lovelies! X Blue:At...

Hi girls! Just wondered if you’re anxious about restrictions lifting in the summer then a potential lockdown in October? It’s making me go a bit wobbly I’m definitely driving the groom mad! 😂

Do people still do guest books? I’d love a momentum of the day ‘ everyone that’s shared it with us but I don’t want just a signature book. What are you doing as a guest book/box/keepsake?

Hi, I’m getting married in October in Oxfordshire (at the Buckinghamshire border) and struggling to find someone to do my makeup. The couple of people I’ve found that are free, I’m not keen on the...

Bought my dress today. I went with a very clear idea of what I wanted - sleeves, illusion front and back, fullish skirt, NO corset back, NO belt and absolutely definitely under no circumstances...

Hi, very new here! Please can I ask thoughts on over inviting. I’m pretty sure at least a few guests won’t come to our wedding. Whilst it makes sense to invite from the ‘reserve’ list once we’ve had...

This isn't meant to be a maudlin post - I thought it might help some brides to be to see what us OMs wish they'd done a bit differently. Mine would be that I wish I'd provided a flip flop basket. I...
