  • were having a civil service and and informal rec at a pub afterwards (we've been together for 11 years so decided to keep it low key), so I've decided to invest in a really nice dress that is'nt white or a typical wedding dress but is lovely and I'll be able to wear it again.
    have just finished making the invitations so once I've sent them at the weekend I can relax for a few months before the stress of organising the final details

    you know what i love the fact that everyone is being money saving on their weddings, i was having a discussion with MIL2B today about our wedding and she was basically telling me i should have real flowers, no balloons, a wedding dress from a proper shop etc and basically just threw all my ideas out of the window! I know its harsh but i don't really want her helping me plan the wedding especially when its my dad thats paying for most of it. She did offer to pay for the flowers but i would still prefer artificial to real ones so i'll have to get OH to tell her because she won't listen to me...

    Hi all,

    Can I be added please. Getting married Oct 22nd 09.

    We live in Hampshire and are getting married in Scotland so any advice for planning from afar would be greatly appreciated. Mainly in trying to be calm about not having seen the venue!

    welcome to the club! :D haha
    Congratulations hun.
  • I'm a bride 2B - although still can't quite believe it's really happening to me!! :D

    Getting married on 3rd October 2009 - nearly half-way through our engagement now and starting to get really excited about the big day :j (have been excited about the bride-2B status since day one!!)

    Just found this page whilst looking for cheap stationery - think I'll be coming here quite a lot from now on though!!!

    So far have booked church, reception venue, honeymoon and photographer. Have ordered my dress, but still have to find bridesmaids dresses, gents suits, Cake and a DJ. Stationery is my big thing at the moment though - will be happier when I can weigh up how much that will cost!! I really don't want anything fancy so any suggestions much appreciated!!

    We planned ours in three months exactly - engaged Nov. 27th, married Feb. 27th.

    Start with the venue and the licence and then plan how you'd like the day to go and make a list accordingly. Dresses from shops can take a while, but ebay and landy bridal etc are faster.
