hey everyone - hope you are all doing ok! Cant believe its march already...time going so quickly!!
not been very well past few days which is rubbish as its my hen do tomo, not been at work and have been taking paracetamol. Did go to doctors, but nothing they would give me!
bubs is doing fine though kicking and wriggling hard, so least one out of the two of us is feeling ok!!

Feeling so behind still with all the wedding bits - made good progress, but still feel like ton left! its more a case of getting certain bits as all picked out, but OH work is stupid and he has to work both days for the next 3 weekends which really doesnt help, so need to do things on my own.
had lovely weekend with my BM last week - they got thier shoes which are really lovely -

just incase any one needs some nice black shoes or anything. They all ordered a broach too for their shawls. We had a make up/hair trial last weekend too and they looked lovely: had some problems but think all sorted now.
I loved my hair and makeup, was very pleased with it (no pictures on my camera am afriad otherwise would put one on here) borrowing my BM veil and i got a lovely tiara from 2 of the BM's so thats all good.

OMG just on our way back from the wedding show at the nec. Had a fab time and got quite a bit sorted!!! Found my wedding ring and paid for it, found grooms suit and got to go get it. Got some fab tips off a bridal coach re photographs, got some great makeup that even I can do :-)

Not much for bridesmaids though Which was really disappointing so that search goes on....

Magicboo

Morning All,
Becks-Glad you had a good time at the wedding show, now wishing I had gone!!
Please could you share you tips from the bridal cach about the photographs? I don't even want to phone our photographer because I'm worried about looking stupid in the photos (don't mind being centre of attention, but I ALWAYS look pants in photos!), so any tips would be great!
Hopefully going to start sending out our evening invites today, we have had a couple more RSVPs, we've had home made bunting made of cows instead of flags, a powerpoint presentation and a peg bag!!

Just got all my wedding underwear off ebay for £25 including postage. Stockings, suspenders, corset and personalised knickers!

This was a steal - I'll let you know how they are when they arrive. Have asked her to do a different font:

What a weekend girls, talk about cramming a lot in....

Saturday
Off to the NEC for the Wedding show, Groom and 2 out of the 3 BM's in tow - determined to see stuff for BM's and Groom.

Not as busy or as big as I think the last one I went to was but saw loads of Bride stuff - loads of sale dresses but barely any BM stuff was quite disappointed really as was hoping to get their dresses nailed this weekend.

However, did find my wedding ring (yay) not very MSE but it is lovely and made me go oooh

Groom also found his suit veeerrryyy nice

Sunday

Right to start with today was spent in Manchester with Groom and 2 BM's in tow - Groom suit got - g o r g e o u s the shoes the !!!!!!s gave him to wear really finished the suit off so they were also got and soooooo not MSE so not saying how much :eek: but sooooo worth it...

Then it was off round pretty much every major department store to look for BM dresses and STILL nothing. 6 weeks to go and still nothing am
s t a r t i n g to panic!!!! have emailed woman on ebay to see if she can do it in the timescale so fingers, toes and legs crossed people!!! :eek::eek:

I am now starting to see why people end up spending a fortune on weddings... quite easy too...

Magicboo will do a word doc with everything we learned form the bridal coach she was really good and if anyone wants a copy let me know.
Mainly tips on having your photo taken but a few for speeches too.
Would really recommend following her tweet its bridalcoachinguk.

Gleeful they look fab shame they don't do fat bride sizes

FlowerPower

Oooh becks could I have a copy of that word doc too please? I'm dreading the photo-taking, and also the walking when everyone's watching! I ended up paying lots more than i wanted for BM dresses - for the same reason - ran out of time + panic!
