Weddings & anniversaries

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has ever made these themselves, as i can buy the branches for £60 off of ebay. All i need to do is buy the branches, a pot and glue and then get the florist to decorate it a little bit. One florist has quoted me 200-250 each tree! So i was wondering if anyone has ever tried to do a Wedding…

My partner went to pick up my two bridesmaid dresses today (it's taken about 4 months for them to turn up) to find out that the company have messed up the order. The wedding is now only 4 weeks away so time is limited. We would obviously like them to sort the order out, with the correct sizes and the shop are going to make…

My DD is getting married next May in Radicondoli in Tuscany and I am trying to help her keep the costs down. She has booked a lovely villa but now I need to find out about caterers and what I have seen so far on the internet - havent had any quotes yet - are frightening. I think the cheapest has been 83 euros per…

Hi, I have been organising a hen party, we're going for a meal and to a nightclub in our hometown this weekend. I've never been on a hen party before, and the bride-to-be has been dropping hints about surprises but I'm honestly stumped as to what we can do for her. It's been a nightmare getting this far, I don't know the…

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a honeymoon fund on honeyfun.co.uk, it's working well so far but they will charge me 3.4%+0.20p using a business paypal account per transaction which i think is a bit much. There are free options for guest to send you money like cash or cheque. It does offer a custom option for guest to send us…

My daughter bought a wedding dress from a specialist shop. Cost just under 2 grand. We paid half and the other half was due when she picked it up 6 months later. In the meantime she decided on a different dress and was to sell the original. When the original dress arrived at the shop they were aware that she was going to…

Hello :) I am hoping someone can help. My OH and I have been engaged for a while now and I really want to get married. I have been putting it off for a while but I now need to sort it out! My ideal reception would be in a tent/marquee surrounded by friends and family with possibly an afternoon tea/snacks and then hog roast…

I am freaking out My wedding is in less than 3 weeks and I have just found out my venue has gone in to administration. Before anyone asks the obvious - no I do not have wedding insurance. Yes, I know this was unbelievably stupid. But it was just something that I totally forgot about. The venue have assured me the wedding…

Well thought I'd start a thread to see if there were any other brides or grooms getting married next May. My big day is 30th May 2015. It's only 9 months away so creeping up on us fast. I think I'm pretty organised, at least that's what everyone keeps telling me and last major things to organise are groom's and groomsmen's…

Hi all, My fiance and I would like to choose a website for people to send money to, to help us save for our honeymoon. Does anyone have any advice? Even better, has anyone had a good experience with one and could recommend a good site to use? Thanks

Hi all, I am getting married next year at Northbrook park in surrey, it's a lovely place but they only deal with particular caterers otherwise there is a fee. So I have picked the caterers i want to use and they have quoted me £719.40:eek: for drinks for 60 guest, which including unlimited welcome drinks. This including…

Still love my jeans and have longish hair! Trouble is, Im not small - size 18/20 depending on the style. Ive tried allsorts on. I fancied a maxi…

Just spotted this on eBay......seems like a bargain.....asked why it was so cheap and the seller replied that as they were new to eBay they were doing special prices. Search eBay for " CANARY YELLOW SUNBURSTS CONFETTI x 144 PACKETS - IDEAL FOR RESELLERS" Tucked away in "Other Wholesale and Job Lots". Did not have the heart…

Incredibly nosey of me, but I love hearing about bargain weddings. I've been engaged since my 23rd birthday in 2012 and have been with my fianc! for 5 years. WE planned a massive remote hotel wedding because he wanted to be traditional and give me the princess day. We had no concept of budget though and to be honest, was…
