    Wow girls, you have some nice hen hols booked there. I love Spain. I met H2B in Torremolinos :rotfl: That is the one and only time that we have been there lol. Would have been romantic to have gone there for our honeymoon but we fancied somewhere a bit more exotic lol

    I found some nice underwear sets online at Gossard and at Littlewoods. I had a look at Ann Summers, but not sure if I could wear those all day lol. I think I will go into M&S tom to see what they've got.
  • Have you tried ordering undies online? It beats bumping into someone just as you come out of Ann Summers!! If you feel a bit uncomfy why not try their website here
    I love 'figleaves' too -really lovely....and they have a special bridal boutique section link here

    Agent Provocateur have some very saucy things....my HTB is a great fan! Bit pricey tho...but worth it!! :whistle: link

    HTH!!

    I nipped into M&S today and got my wedding underwear sorted. They had a lovely bridal set in a champagne colour with a matching garter ;)

    Thought I better get measured as I hadn't done that in a while and it turns out that I'm a size smaller but a cup bigger :eek: Don't know when that happened lol

    Also got the Moss Bros brochure with the different styles - my latest issue of Brides magazine has a 25% discount of their wedding suits :j

    I'd have thanked you twice there but I can't lol. Well done on the underwear. I'll pop in and have a look now - you can't find a huge amout online can you? I've been looking for ages!

    R.e the Brides 25% off at Moss Bross. Fantastic! When your talking as much money as it costs to hire suits for 6 men :eek: 25% is a huge amount off to us! Thank you for the tip. I don't normally buy those magazines (too expensive) but I have a great reason to now (and I can't wait to read through and cut out some more pics for my mood board lol)

    Hi Guys, I had a girly shopping day with my Chief BM yesterday and bought my wedding shoes! I think Im doing it completely the wrong way round as I know have my veil and shoes but no dress. I couldnt resist them!

    Going to try dresses on tomorrow so very excited.

    Also bought shoes for my brothers wedding which I will be a BM for although its not till sept 2010 but they were gorgeous and in the sale!

    You're most welcome :)

    We're going for the classic style at Moss Bros which is £79 per person. They do an offer whereby you pay for 4 and you get the 5th free. But if you're having 6 chaps like us (groom, best man, 2 x dads, 2 x ushers) it works out cheaper for the 6 x £79 and then take the 25% off. So, without voucher from Brides it would work out at £395 and with voucher it works out at £355.50 - saving £39.50 :j

    All groomsmen seem to be a little too keen on nice shiny patent black shoes lol. We're buying them for H2B but everyone else is buying their own - but they don't have to have shiny ones they can wear normal black ones lol

    I love it that you've got the accessories before the dress :D But at least now, you can take them with you when you go dress shopping so that you can see how they all go together :T

    Good luck on the dress shopping - do you know what kind of dress you're looking for?

    Hi Nic, hope you had a nice weekend away. I think I've got my underwear sorted. I bought my set from M&S yesterday - but this suspenders stuff is niggling me!! I know H2B would love it - but the set I got doesn't have a suspender belt. I've just found the reverie set on the Gossard website which looks nice - I don't know what to do!!!!!!
