    Those pics are great Melly, I love all the colour in your flowers!

    I just bought a wedding mag and they have thse checklists at the end 18 months to go, 12 months to go etc etc so I decided to cross off what there is still to do and I have loads!! I can see me rushing down the aisle still trying to get my shoes on :rotfl: I have changed the invite design again and I'm sticking with this one, otherwise I'll never get them out :D

    We only booked ours in July - only had 16 weeks in total to plan - I looked at one of them and ticked things off, really do have lots to do!!!! :eek: Made my own list and not doing too badly!

    Have just bought the bits and bobs off the internet (now that it's working) to do my flowers and cake topper -had already bought wooden roses for this but needed the tape and wire! That's a few more things off my list now!

    Was looking on the internet for hair style inspiration and came accross a site that said it was crucial not to heat treat (including drying with a hair dryer) your hair for 18 months before the wedding! Eek - I only have less than 8 weeks left now! Would love to know where some people get their ideas!:rotfl:

    How on earth are you expected to style your hair then?? I couldn't live without my hairdryer and straightners, hair is far too unruly without them :(

  • That's what I thought! My straighteners go every where with me. I found it really comical. I did read on in their article and it did say you should go to them every day for your hair done - it was a hairdressers site so obviously with all the money we have we are supposed to go to them and they will style and towel dry our hair for us!!! :D
  • lol missk i havent dont my hair in years so i should be fine

    as long as you use some kind of heat protection then your hair should be fine
    The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 5

    Definitely. I, by now, must own shares in TreSemme as I go through a bottle of Heat Protection a month almost:eek:
