Hi all - at what point should I think about booking a florist? Im told some are booked up quite far in advance? x

WOOHOO!! Congratulations Mrs Moore to be and good luck! It's a lovely time of year. We have also just decided on an Easter 2011 wedding - off to the vicars this week to confirm dates but I am hoping for around 23rd April too...

Can you tell me if you are marrying in church - as I wasn't sure if you could get married over the Easter period? Although I guess the downside to a pre-Easter Sunday church wedding is the lack of flowers due to Lent.

Another question - does anyone know when the school Easter holidays are next year? I'm led to believe that because Easter is late, that the holidays will end on Tuesday 26th April...? (we've got lots of family coming from overseas with young kids!!)

Huge thanks

Woohoo! Finally we have a thread! :j

April 8th 2011 for us :T

8th April for us too!! It'll be our 5 year dating anniversary :j

So, how far have all you April 2011 lovelies got?

Sorry I can't help with flowers as I'm going down the artificial route and already have them Put down deposit on the venue two weeks ago. Picked up my ring from Birmingham Jewellery Quarter last weekend (highly recommend Newey's - they've been nothing but fab!) DF is hand designing his ring from scratch so that's going to take a while. Found my dream dress at the end of Jan but it's currently four sizes too big so my mum is going to work her magic on it... either that or I need to eat a lot of doughnuts over the next year!

Think I've rambled on long enough now lol... but big congrats to all my fellow April brides-to-be :T

April 15th for us - it was the closest Friday to our anniversary, which is on the 19th April. (although we still need to book the venue so it's not really definite!). Almost a date twin Gleeful :-))

Congrats to you too!! :beer::j

We are getting married in a church and as its on the saturday of easter weekend its not a 'religious day'. I believe there are no flowers on the run up to easter, however.... the vicar told me that on the Saturday, in the morning they have florists come in and do the easter flowers ready for the Sunday/Monday! So if we have our wedding after lunch we wouldnt have to worry about flowers as there will already be some in there. Im not sure if thats just our church or all of them though?

As for the schools - I believe the holidays for them are before easter and they will go back on the 26th - (making it cheaper for the honeymoon)! Although someone else may be able to clarify this?

Oooh hello ladies ! Congratulations to you all !!

We booked and paid our deposit on our venue last night....so feeling very excited about it now !!

We booked 30th April which will be 6 years to the day of our first date !

OH is really dining out on the fact though that out of a list of dates the venue owner gave us...I missed the 30th

WHen he asked me if any date stood out I said I fancied the 9th April :rotfl: no significant reason just liked it, and completely missed the date I should have picked !

Other than booking the venue we have done nothing else, but have been researching...so am not too worried...although looks like I have some catching up to do !

Happy planning ladies...I look forward to picking up lots of tips from you all X
