shall we have a wedding chat thread?

Well! I think I've been lucky! My size 12 bridesmaid has fitted into the size 10 dress and my size 16/18 bridesmaid has fitted into the 18 though both will need taking up by about 6 inches! Haven't heard about the tweenager yet, but I'm not too stressed over her even if we had to get her a slightly different style dress.

Can't believe BHS thought stopping a range of bridesmaids dresses in the middle of spring was a good idea!

The important thing here is to undertake the weight loss plan because you want too (being unhappy with your shape) and NOT because you may feel intimidated. trying to put this in a good way, the sales staff are trained to know what suits you. However, what may suit you now will still suit you when the weight is lost, BUT something you thought may look hideous, will look fab once the weight is gone. Don't buy in haste when you plan to lose weight. xx

thanks linda im not plannine on buying for a long time yet but id like to see what suits me and see what kind of styles are supposedly coming in. Im hoping its not all strapless as that looks awful on me.

i am going to be sensible about weight loss but its just me wanting to not being pressured. Thaanks for the advice though

and frannyann im sure your dress looks fab - i believe it was strappless which would just look rediculous on me and id spend the whole day worrying about it falling down or me falling out! lol

is it just a case of stepping into the dress? how much 'help' do they give you?

Re: the roadworks, to be honest I was more annoyed about them being in the way for the pics I was planning than anything else. The reception is on the other side of the hotel so we shouldn't hear anything, although access for the cars might be a problem. They've already dug up a bit of the pavement so it's not like they can put it back just for me no matter how much I stamp my feet!

I'll find some other place for funky urban pics. Right now I can't be bothered fighting with anyone. I've got six stinky night shifts in A&E and I just want to get marrrriiiiiied!

...Talking about registry office costs I've found these vary, our local one will marry you for £40 during the week or £150 on a Saturday, plus the normal costs admin fees, certificates and notice.

£40 is usually for the back room, which is unlikely to fit anyone else in except you, OH & the registrar.

Ring them up - my bridesmaid dress fell off the website never to appear again, but I rang & was able to order one in the right size

glad your minimoon is booked clearing.. i bet its a weight off your shoulders have you got anything else set even though its over a year off?
im still looking for a venue and its doing my head in!! ive looked at hundreds(online) but their too expensive or too small or too new or too far away grr!!
H2B has just said im not going to get bespoke olde worlde with our money to fit in all our guests, hes right but i wish it was the fairytale i want!

skint cat is there a debenhams by you or could you ring round asking them if they have what you want and to send it to nearest store or post if its too far away

screamer good bargain on the shoes a?

aww sorry raspa can you not take a little ride out somewhere there isnt road works, its quite common to go have pics taken somewhere else before the reception
