Becks92 woo hoo I'm so blinking pleased for you! Your dress is so stunning.

Evidently you pulled a blinder! Spoke with the lovely lady herself. Total honour to be making the adjustments. However, altering an IS is almost sacrilege!!!

Am sure you will do it well Linda! Ian Stuart dresses are fabulous...

Thanks for the comments re: posies. I think it will be fine. Cant got for just long stems as we are having mixed wildflower style bouquets, but I think if I remove the expensive Dolce Vita roses from theirs and make them half the size of mine I can save a few pounds! I decided I wanted fresh flowers in my hair so trying to adjust the costings... Meeting with the florist on saturday to finalise the order.

Had an RSVP from a mad aunt on my dads side of the family, none of whom are invited apart from her, her child and partner and my dad. She put a PS on the end asking if I had all the addresses I needed. My thoughts are 'Well yes I did thank you auntie, all the people on my Christmas card list were invited, just no one from your side as I dont have any contact with them'. This will blow up into a massive row just before the wedding, it did just before my sisters, dreading it... familes eh?

sexymouse-they all look yum. It reminded me of my favourite ever sandwich..roasted vegetables with humus.
To all you ladies wanting the RSVP's to come back quicker...we still haven't sent our invitations out !!

hi everyone hope you might be able to help - i am having a bird theme for my wedding and am going to have a two tier wedding cake just as normal and then for the top tier I want to have meringue nests into which i could put some eggs (mini eggs perhaps) and some kind of white wooden bird (this is the best i can describe what's in my head at the minute!) - been trying to look online for for the birds and am really hitting a brick wall - i dont want a fluffy or feathered bird, and some of the bird cake toppers i have seen are too big, and mostly too expensive!! anyone got an ideas??

How much do you want to spend on the bird? If you didn't want to buy one, do you know anyone artistic who could make one out of fimo clay or something?

I have missed so many posts that I cant remember everyone, so I am going to do a group :j:T for the make up trials, the lovely frocks and the food

and and lots of love for those who are poorly.

A cop out I know but my brain is minced with a wee venue hitch and trying to fill in an application form for married quarters!
