They use Milly Bridal - why don't you go direct to them and see if you can save a bit more to finance your promarkers - its $220 on there about £140 :beer:
My dress last year came from Landy and was under £100!

Ooo thank you See this thread CAN be MSE lol! :T:T:T

I thought a wedding dress would be about £1,000 before looking into it!

salesadmin - that dress is gorgeous. I can't believe how inexpensive it is (don't want to say cheap, because it certainly doesn't look cheap!). There's some lovely cards on your blog, I love the images. And I now have a Xyron Sticker Maker in a shopping basket... I'm waiting to see if some lovely elves will buy it for me. :rolleyes:

I have elves in my house at the minute! They even follow me to places like Ikea and steal my purse and pay for things when I'm not looking!!:rotfl:

On another note: I've just found out that it is free to list on ebay at the moment. I think I might list some of my cards at £1 each...can't hurt as it won't cost me anything if they don't sell and if they do I have more room for stash! :T

I'd be up for NEC too

Thank you all for your kind comments on my card . i wasn't sure about it when i'd finished.

Paddington just been for a peep at your card it's stunning.

I have the six packs of 5 promarkers now and really need some individual ones where has the best prices?

will blog hop and leave some long overdue comments later.

The cheapest place i have found Promarker singles from is Joanna sheen think they are £1.59 each and the P&P is free http://www.joannasheen.com/craft-supplies/promarkers/

Craftygranny Your card is stunning love all the stitching detail.

We haven't actually set a date yet, but it will be May or June 2011 depending on when our church is available. Hopefully will see the vicar next week We are doing it on a Friday to save money and most people that we will invite to the daytime do work for themselves (I'm from a family of self employed people!) or are retired!

We were going to wait until I finished uni but figured what's the point? We've been together 5 years and oh is getting broody!

Congrats on your wedding. I thought about a winter wedding (think it would be romantic!) but I want my bridesmaids to wear short dresses and thought it might be a bit cruel!

Nothing wrong with bridesmaids in thick wooly tights and thermals :rotfl:.
We got married in August and my bridesmaids still reckoned they were freezing

Salesadmin - that dress is gorgeous and an amazing price.

Hels - hope you won't be too busy in November to go to the nec! Will pop some snowflakes in the post next week...

I wish you could guarantee the weather! Especially as we will be walking to our reception as it's just 5 mins down the road...long enough to get soaked though - I might have a car on stand by for me

(Sorry folks I've taken the thread off topic!!) :A

Hello Gemma & Padster Can you advise me please.

As recommended on here I got the flourish dies but I'm a bit confused -

I got the metal plate, a piece of foam & a piece of card with shiny plastic stuck to it. Now, I don't think the card & shiny plastic are relevant, but.... should the foamy bit be stuck on the metal die or used somewhere? There were no instructions & I've cut one set of flourishes but they stuck in the metal plate - I got them out ok but is that happening with yours - please?

I stuck the foamy bit (think it's technically called ejection foam) on the die but it didn't cut all that well - will have a go tomorrow without and see how I get on - my bug is a bit temparamental.
