April 2011 Brides and Grooms

Glad I'm not suffering alone Mrs Moore to be !!

Sounds like you will have caught up with me by the weekend !

I'm in Cambridgeshire...getting married in Bedfordshire....we are having a civil ceremony so have to be banging on the registry office door on the 30th April this year to book them up...they won't let you provisionally book unfortunately...the venue are confident that we will get the time we want...with worst case scenario we have it slightly earlier or later...so I'm not worrying about it.

We ordered our save the dates today (already posted on the chat thread so sorry if you are seeing this twice..)


We are booked in to meet a caterer on the 6th of April, but have also been recommended another one, by someone at work who is having the same venue.

We've booked!! HURRAH! Easter Saturday 2011 (St George's Day - so will have to try and work in a bit of red-white-blue theme...!) at the local village church. Reception to be held in marquee my garden - fingers crossed for dry weather )

Booked wedding on the Wednesday evening - by Friday the rellies from America had already booked flights... gulp!

Just like Mrs Moore to be - our lovely vicar is going to try and get the flower arrangers in early to decorate the church after Lent.

Just working out what flower's are going to out at the end of April as we're going to try and decorate the tables ourselves to save money. Anyone know where I can get cheap tall flower vases?

Ooh - it's making me excited knowing that everyone is starting to book their venues.

We're still looking around at potential venues - we've seen 3 and have got another 3 to see this weekend. Although tbh; I already know which one I want (I keep picturing it in my head when thinking of colour scheme scenarios!! lol).

We met the caterers today. They are a very slick operation and will be great. Little bit over budget but nevermind!

Just think... this time next year!!! eeeekkkk

Slickster

Looks like I may be a part of this thread. I proposed on Saturday and then took the future Mrs Slick to the Jewellery Quarter to find a nice ring - didn't take long once we found Newey's! (Thanks to recommendations from this site :T)

We're provisionally looking at 16th April. Was initially thinking of October 2010 as this would be our 10 year 'dating' anniversary but more time was needed to diet apparently! (her not me )

We're both in education so school holidays was a necessity, however, inconveniently the Easter holidays next year are quite varied in the different counties, some breaking up on Friday 8th (for two weeks), some at least a week later. So the 16th should just about be OK for family/friends from across the country (many of whom are also in education...).

Did a first costs calculation last night and it, erm, soon started to add up! Refinement definitely needed!

l*g*d

Hi! Another Easter Saturday red/white bride! I'm actually quite ahead of myself, so far I have:

Booked registry office, reception venue and caterer
Booked videographer (not having a photographer as we both hate having our photos taken!) - 2009 prices held as we booked early
Booked DJ - discount for booking in a January promotion
Bought my dress from ebay (£67 ex-sample)
Bought my daughter's flowergirl dress (TK Maxx bargain - £19.99 from £110 RRP)
Started making bouquets (artificial obviously!) and laying out invites

I think thats it! Only decided on making my bouquets this weekend but I'm really pleased with how the mock-ups turned out!
