MOB Hair
Don't suit hats or fascinators and am looking for ideas for hair decorations. Have short white hair but any nice hair ornaments that I have seen seem to be crystal or silver and are lost in my hair. Looking for any ideas, dress is maxi, classic 40's style and in plum. Plan to have silver shoes and bag. Thanks for any ideas.

Cheap sweet buffet
Hi all, We are looking at having a sweet buffet at our wedding. At the last fair we went to the proper suppliers are looking at 180-250 to do it for us. Do you think we'd be able to do this cheaper ourselves? I'm looking at catering for 80people. Mother in law is adamant we just book a cart but I'm reluctant to spend that…

Cheap venue in North/Central London?
Hi, I'm having a wedding party in July and i need to find a venue. In a perfect world, we'd prefer a live music venue but these will be hard to find on a Saturday night! Everywhere else i've looked at so far has either been too expensive or not suitable, so i was hoping some people here could recommend a good (cheap!)…

Suggestions for Doctor Who themed reception

Cornwall caterer & photographer recommendations
I'm getting married in Mevagissey, Cornwall this September and other than the venue (swish party house where we'll be staying with our families all week) and the registrar, I haven't booked anything else yet. I'm imagining it as a big family holiday that just happens to have a wedding in the middle, so it'll be a fairly…

Small but possibly still traditional wedding? What lovely weddings have you been to?
My oh proposed whilst away for a romantic weekend, I'm utterly delighted :) :) I've known since meeting he was the one and I'm just so happy :) I'd like to get some plans in motion but the biggest hurdle is 'type' of wedding really!

Venue Communication Issue
Hi all We booked our wedding (whole thing from service, to wedding breakfast, to reception) in August to have it all at the same place - a hotel which is part of a small chain up North. I'm getting really stressed out with the lack of contact from the Hotel, since we signed a contract and put down the first sum of money,…

Not having an engagement ring
Not sure why I'm writing this really- probably more to have a rant than anything else. I didn't have a traditional proposal. It was more a mutual agreement. We were both fine with that- it seemed a far more natural way of going about it. Obviously there wasn't a ring involved. My partner said he'd get me one afterwards. I…

Photographer pregnant, derbyshire recommendations please
Hi all, My photographer has just announced she's pregnant. Whilst I'm over the moon for her (she's a friend too) I'm worried she won't be able to do my wedding.
