Not sure what it will be like but it's worth a go! x

There's a cheaper one here

Tigerlilley1980

That's great, but the other one has a fixer spray with it which I think I will prefeer then the stuff won't come off all over my dress, great price though. Might see if I can find an equilavent of the first one but cheaper somewhere! xx

Lydia they are gorgeous!
How are we all doing? I feel like I'm still way behind!!

Hi girls, how are you all doing? It's seven weeks away for me now!!!!

I have bought some gorgeous candle holders from B and M, 3 for £1.29 which I am going to have lining the aisle, in them I am putting battery operated tea lights and they look fab. The holders are frosted with a glitter snowflake on them, I love them lol! I tried them out at home and they look brill.

I also got some great tree toppers from the range which are like a star, glittery and they have a crystal in the middle. I am going to use them for my table name holders, they were £1.50ish each, Bargain!!!

Went to the hotel last week to go over the details again and it made it so real! And also helped me to work out what else needs done. I had forgotten about non alcoholic drinks after the cermony so we are having blackcurrant schloer now.

Still to do: Finish the bauble place names
Buy H2B a white shirt
Buy DD some fab shoes
Pay the venue
Pay the DJ
Make up the kids goodie bags, have bought everything for them
HEN NIGHT!!!
Put the names on the table plan
Buy the gifts for mums and bridesmaids etc..
Make up the centrepieces


I think that is it!

Really pleased we have paid the photographer last week so that's another weight off!

I went to see the girl who is maing my cake as she has made the crystal garland for my cake and it is gorgeous. She has done it with swarovski crystals and although they are quite small they are so sparkly and will show up against the burgundy ribbon so well.

It's so exciting! But I'm also so nervous lol!

Thanks Tiger and Hels

We're 9 weeks off (which means Christmas is 10) and everything is coming together nicely.

I ordered our photo album from here yesterday http://www.aspinaloflondon.com/ I can't wait for it to arrive.
We're meeting the registrar at the Register office in the district we're marrying in on Thurday, along with having my hair trial done (as it's the last time I'll be ooop norf before t'wedding) and we're visiting the lady who owns the overnight accommodation we're all staying in.
We're still waiting for our wedding rings.
Invites have gone out.
Waiting to hear back about my flowers, going to contact her tomorrow for further details.
Visiting the venue a week today with OH and SIL and her family. Have a list of questions we have to ask the owner.
Need to order underwear, shoes and jewellery.
Bought make-up yesterday, just need to practise it to perfection for the big day.
OH's suit has been ordered, is being made to measure and will arrive beginning of December, need to find outfits for his DDs and our DS and a dress for my sis who's the BM.
Need a couple of thank you gifts.
Not having a hen night, will probably have a very quiet meal with a few friends, would love to have a meal with my Bristol friends but have only invited one and her husband and child so not sure on etiquette on "celebrating" with people who won't be coming.
Need to find somewhere to stay after the wedding and before Christmas.
Need to do our Christmas shopping.

It's all niggly things now, think the big things are out of the way.

Tigerlilley1980

Christmas shopping is completely out of the window here lol! I have bougth OH a couple of presents and DD a fifi dvd and started making up my sister a hamper lol!

I'm sure the people who aren't invited Lydia, would love to share a meal with you. If they are true friends they will understand about guest lists and numbers and will be pleased to share the meal with you. Not sure myself on the etiquette, but I think it's a lovely idea!

Well the wedding is 200+ miles from Bristol and everyone has small children and it's 6 days before Christmas, so not exactly the most convenient time in most people's lives. It also seems to be "works' Christmas do" day.

I might see if the girl who is coming will sort it.
