Hi All!

The wedding - on the 1st - went brilliantly! Although if you remember the weather that day you'll know it was horrible!! But our photographer was brilliant and set up a mini 'studio' at the reception and we're so pleased with the results.
Hopefully you can access some photos here - http://www.bengoode.com/sethandlindsay/gallery.html

Hope everyone's plans are all going well!

    Wow what fab photos! It looks like you had a lovely day. I'm quite gutted that your photographer is from the South coast as otherwise I would've booked him on the strength of those photos!

    And I LOVE your flowers - really really striking.

    So did you do all this on a tight budget then? It certainly doesn't show if you did :D
  • wow congrats to you and your new hubby !

    love the photos ! your photographer was amazing :) I love your dress, veil, jewellery, cake, everything ! It all looked so beautiful and elegant.

  • Wow, amazing photographs! Looks like you had a wonderful day and your dress is gorgeous.
    Got married 23rd May 2009, many thanks to all on the Weddings and Anniversaries board for their help and support!
  • Thanks everyone for your messages. We were so pleased at how everything turned out!

    My flowers were bought as a present for me by a friend and my talented sis-in-law made my cake as a wedding present too! My jewellery was from a little shop down in Cornwall where my OH grew up so it was nice to have that incorporated into the day.
    I made all the invitations, decorations at the ceremony and reception halls and the place cards using various bits from wholesale shops, and ebay!
    My favourite bargain was my tiara - 99p plus P&P off eBay!! So it was about £8 I think in total! I did keep telling people that on the day though so proud I was of my bargain! :rotfl:
    My veil was about £17 from an internet shop in Poland and I bought little crystals off eBay and glued them on - although this was a bit of a painstaking process - only try it if you have a lot of patience!!!!

    My main extravagance was the bridesmaid dresses as I fell in love with them but were more expensive than planned, however one b-maid bought hers as her present to me so that helped a lot! Am so thankful for my many kind friends and family!
    Although the little bridesmaid dress was in the BHS sale so was under £30 and her jacket was £7.44 in Debenhams sale as I got it with a 20% discount voucher I had as well!

    My mum made all the white tablecloths - 26 in total! - from a roll of fabric we got off eBay so they worked out about £3 each compared to the £8.50 the hire company wanted!!! :eek: And another friend getting married in May already plans to borrow them for her tables.
    Oh and my mum's outfit (in the green outfit in the photos) was from eBay - original price including the hat was around £400 and she paid.....£26.50!!! :rotfl:

    Anyway must stop rambling now - just so fun remembering it all, wish I could do it all again!! :j
