shall we have a wedding chat thread?

Thats the problem I'm having with mine, as I'm double siding things the back is miles away fron the front!

Going to leave it for a couple of weeks and come back to it as I'm back at college in a few weeks (Where did my holiday go?!) and I'll speak to my IT tutor about it as he knows a lot more than I do!!:rotfl:

My lovely OH designed and ordered our Save The Date magnets yesterday, I haven't even seen the final design, I love him for getting so involved

Thats really nice Gemmzie! My OH hasn't really been interested with wedding stuff this past few weeks but I'm letting that slip as he is working very hard at the moment

My photographer seems really good value though. £320 for the service and the reception plus he will stay for the first dance and cake cutting. We get all photo's on a copyright free CD/ DVD plus we have paid extra for a DVD slide show but then we got a discount with the councils new privilege card of 10%. And as he wants to try to ilm certain parts he has given us a discount on the DVD - works out at £315! He says he will stay until half 8/ 9 to get the first dance etc in. Think I got a bargain looking at what others are paying.

Flowers is my big thing still to come. Contemplating ordering a bouquet off the internet which I can pull apart - have been in 3 local florists looking at the quality of their flowers an not been impressed at all! I am having cream/white flowers as my dress is red and I want them to stand out!

missknixon have you thought about silk flowers as then you can keep them afterwards

you can also use them for decorations and there does seem to be much more choice and you will have more time to organise them as you wont have to wait until the morning of the wedding to get them

I have thought about it but having grown up with a nana who owned a traditional greengrocers and flower shop I have an obsession with fresh flowers. I know what I want it is just finding them for a reasonable price. My OH calls silk flowers dust harbourers as well, I had some wooden roses and when he came to tidy up he threw them as they were dusty! :mad:

double_mummy

Do you know what kind of flowers you want? or is it just any white/cream ones? whats your budget am in a shoppping mood lol so let me have a look!

will make the OH happy that im not looking at stuff for ours for once lol

missknixon

Not sure what sort of flowers I want and have a budget of about £50 for the lot - my bouquet, a bridesmaids bouquet and 6 button holes!

I want simple and am more than happy to do them myself (have the button holes before) possibly roses or other seasonal flowers (30th October) Thanks

Need some help please lovely people (when don't I need help!)

I'm going to hide what I'm about to write too

ok here goes! My SIL2B is driving me CRAZY! She is being a bridesmaid at our wedding and to be honest I didn't ask her to be in the first place, she just sort of put herself into the role without asking me what I wanted. I was at her house yesterday and my chief bridesmaid (my sil2b's 10 year old daughter!) said that SIL2B had apparently picked her dress (she is buying her own) and she's picked a black one shoulder dress......we're having a 1950's theme:eek: and her daughter (because I've bought it for her!) is wearing a red and white polka dot tea length dress which she loves as it's "twirly":D

What do I do?? I sort of want to tell her I don't want her to be bridesmaid anymore but if we can sort the dress thing then I probably won't cull her

Could you accessorise to make it 50's?
