Hacked off again with venue ~ UPDATE.
First it was them ringing and asking for the deposit, when we had paid it over a week before. Then it was the promise of a certain room, which we now know we can't have. (so had to rearrange the whole ceremony and now we're having it at the reg office) Then we went for our meeting, and a week later someone telephoned and…

They had dozens of wedding dresses for about £100 and scores of bridesmaid dresses for £20 each!!!!

I thought it might be quite a good idea to compile a list of "Budget Bridal Boutiques" that stock dresses under £500 that we could use as reference. I've started with some that I know of,…

ebay bridal jewellery - not impressed!
Just thought I would give a heads up; hopefully it will help if anyones considering this. I wanted some john richard jewellery from debenhams but it's quite pricey (I must admit, I had some 8 years ago for my 30th and it still looks brilliant now) and I'd seem similar on ebay by an "australian" seller which got quite good…

Reception Venue now saying VAT not included
Hello people, Just wondering if anyone might know where we stand on this... After viewing our lovely venue in December, we were quite taken with it and got on so well with the banqueting manager there that we booked pretty quickly.

Gift list vs honeymoon?
Like alot people of our age, we've already made a home together so instead of asking for a new toaster, bedlinen etc. when our current stuff is perfectly good, we'd planned on asking for money towards our honeymoon. Many of our friends have done this and it seems perfectly acceptable and possibly even the norm now with so…

Has anyone done DIY sashes?
My current wedding package (which i am still trying to negotiate - but thats for another thread) includes chair covers, but not sashes... so I've come up with the idea that my dear sister will be in charge of "doing up" the 50 sashes, if I buy them. I am planning to buy them online (organza) and they work out to be about…
