2015 Wedding

Hi DeanM09
Congratulations!
Me and my OH are planning on 2015 also but February. Got engaged last year and still not had an engagement party!
Need to get ym skates on!
Mind you, tonight he did agree to go to a wedding show at a possible venue so thats good news!
Dont really know when to start planning/booking/paying for stuff so any hints or tips would be appreciated

Wedding Day: 27th February 2015 :j

I'm another 2015 bride! Getting married on May 23rd. Already have our reception venue sorted, chosen our photographers (two good friends who are amazingly talented), got our colour scheme and I've got the most important thing - the dress.

We're extremely lucky in that my parents are contributing £10k towards the cost of the day. That's going towards the reception, dress and possibly stationery or flowers too. The rest will be paid for by us, but I'll certainly be getting my DIY head on nearer the time.

The reason we're planning so far in advance is because we're attempting to buy a house before the wedding and we're also getting married in Swansea whilst planning the whole thing from Leeds - luckily my family are very supportive and more than willing to help!

Hey!

My OH hasn't proposed yet but we are thinking about a 2015 wedding. We have a budget of €15,000 for 150 guests. Not sure what format our day will take. We've been and looked at the hotel we were considering however with €10 corkage per bottle I'm going to have to negotiate!!

I will be a 2015 bride Got engaged last year, wedding is planned for 15th August 2015. My biggest fear is that we will pay peak costs because it's in summer & it will end up raining! Would like an intimate ceremony of under 50 ideally, then up to 200 reception guests.

Very excited, I enjoy craft projects so we'll be able to save a lot of costs there. My parents are kindly paying for the wedding, but I will still be bargain-hunting! They have agreed that if we come in under budget they will give us the rest for our deposit so we can finally get out of the renting trap.

when is everyone looking for dresses and thinking about colour themes? I am so tempted to do it all now, everyone keeps saying I might change my mind a year down the line and want different colours/different style dress!

I have always had the same favourite colour (light blue/baby blue/pastel) so we will probably go for that. We are certain that we would want a light pastel-y colour because they are so easy to get hold of if you are making things yourself. It always stands out to me in wedding magazines etc. so I can't see we'll change from that. Do you have any ideas of colours you'd like to include? Can't hurt to see what colours go with it etc.

As for dresses, I have started looking around for inspiration but that's about it. Lace has always been a favourite of mine & I'd definitely like something timeless & classic, but I haven't taken the search further. I'm quite relaxed about it because I know my sense of style. Maybe get yourself on Pinterest & find some inspiration?!

Living in the South West we will be attending the wedding show in Exeter this October. We went last year because we were caught up in the engagement buzz but didn't take it too seriously. We've made a priority list, marquee & caterers are super-important to us so we'll be having a better look at them this year, we don't mind leaving other things longer.
