Calling All August 2009 Brides!!!

bluemeanie999

Can I be added to the list please??

I'm getting married on 1st August (second time for me, first for H2B)

We have booked the wedding but still looking at various options for the reception (cost wise and also disability access issues)

I have found some lovely invitations which (in my free time) I am making, also some great ideas for favors (which our DD's are going to help us make)

*Photographer - family and friends and asking them to put them on CD so we can choose which ones we would like in our album
*Dress/es - I'm getting nearer the day as my belly cant decide if it is going up or down in weight
*Cake - buying the week before but the cake decor is actually coming from USA (with the maker) and she is currently doing that to our colours
* Car - luckily I'm a member of a classic car club therefore lots of offers from the fella's in the club to drive us around

only thing I think I'm goin to have trouble with is my hair n make-up Are others goin to their local hairdressers or as anyone tried their local college and the students

I'm looking forward to hear other people's plans and sharing of tips xx

Erm I am the opposite of organised. I have sooooo much to do! How about you?

Im getting quite organised now done alot over past week I have ordered the invites just waiting for them to be delivered then they can get posted, got prices on flowers hair and make up just made a few changes so waiting for new prices, decided on a few days in venice after the wedding then 2 weeks away later, found a dress for older bridesmaid from landy and they have confirmed they can make the same for younger ones with sholders covered and cross over at top so its more suited for their age this is the dress but it will be in pale pink

this one for Chief BM all in a dark purple but they have all said they would rather have something with straps on but Im finding it difficult to find one with straps I like so I got in touch with the lady who will be making them and she has said she will put straps on for me )

Also my veil came today. its a 2 tiered ivory satin with swarovskit crystals. Costs £105 from John Lewis but I got it for £45 incl P & P as she eneded up getting a dress she didnt need a veil with )
