    EA I got my wedding flowers on ebay. They were silk - my bouquet and three buttonholes were less than £20. And there was Quidco cashback! MSE-tastic :rotfl:

    EA my plans are pretty much all in place now - just need to turn up!! All paid except for things we need to pay on the day like the hotel for the wedding night and for the actual ceremony. We have tried to have an MSE wedding too - I'm making the cupcakes for our wedding cupcake tower, MIL is doing my bouquet and buttonholes and we are getting flowers for them from the market a couple of days before the wedding, dad's bets mate is doing the photography! Not bad really!!

    I could make you a wedding cake if you were a bit nearer to Leeds! The cake in my avvy is my sister's wedding cake that I made.

    Sugar that's a really good idea! I hadn't even thought about that but yeah I won't be wearing a bra. Oooh I'm happy now! Pretty sure I can get in it and tie it and still be comfortable so if that panel isn't used then it will look a perfect fit still! Yey!! :D

    Although, i still listen to their Christmas album (Snowed In??) every Xmas, as i looooooove it and it never fails to get me in the spirit.

    My sister has all their albums on her ipod so if you are in her car with her with it on quite often you'll have to sit and listen to Hanson Christmas songs even if it's August!!

    Ah, we're in Portsmouth. No where near Leeds. But i like your idea of the wedding cupcake tower. I might look into doing that as im quite good at cake making :)

    I was going to make my bouquet myself. I did try before with some reduced flowers from tesco to see if i could do it

    My first and only attempt at bouquet making :D
