Omg Ellie, poor you! Not BZ at all, I would have gone nuts!!! Sone good suggestions here xxx

I'm having a major BZ meltdown. With 37 days to go, I have soooo much to do and it's stressing me out a lot I'm hardly sleeping and can't concentrate.

Ellie I would have been very upset too.

I hope you can find a replacement x

Crazy bridezilla moment last night...OH accidentally (I hope) shut the cat in the wardrobe where my bridesmaid dresses are hanging. Cat used one as a climbing frame to try and get out!!!!! Cue, sobbing from me and very sorry but defensive OH. Dresses are discontinued, can't get another, gutted isn't the word. Mum reckons she might be able to do something with it but its chiffon and covered in claw marks Wedding is in August so I better start looking for new ones, really hadn't budgeted for this.

Oh no Ellie! First, have a dodgy hug :grouphug: Second, can you call the designer/ shop HQ and see if they can track one down? Given the situation you may find a sympathetic person willing to go on a hunt for you.

Anything we can help with? Post the list here, and we'll make suggestions, track things down, etc if we can. I keep having little moments of panic as we're past the 100 days to go barrier and are about a month behind schedule!

Thanks so much Here's a rough list of what's in my head atm:

(deep breath)

Finalise text of OOS and get it printed
Visit venue and confirm ALL details - need to work out what we want before we go on Wednesday 13th
Confirm flowers with very unreliable/ditsy florist!
Buy TONS of stuff online and instore inc. toiletries, decor bits, possible veil/headpiece etc
Buy remaining thank you gifts and cards
Chase RSVPs
Do table plan - eek
Make table numbers, table plan etc
Have a makeup trial with new MUA (hope it goes better than the last one!)
Rehearsal - 22 June
Exercise whenever I get the chance! :eek:

lol bubbles! If it makes you feel any better, teal goes very well with ivory and gold. Could be worse; imagine if she'd proudly shown you a hot pink number from Topshop...

Won't take long, and can be done last minute. Do you need to check with the vicar/registrar that the wording is OK first?
Visit venue and confirm ALL details - need to work out what we want before we go on Wednesday 13th
Again, I don't think this will take too long. Sit down with your H2B and go through everything that you want and need with a finetooth comb. If it helps, you could speak to the venue beforehand to check with them what information they still need?
Confirm flowers with very unreliable/ditsy florist!
Can you go round there and speak to her direct?
Buy TONS of stuff online and instore inc. toiletries, decor bits, possible veil/headpiece etc
Go to Poundland/Wilkos for all the toiletries; can be done in one fell swoop. Ask people on the Find My... thread for help with headpiece and veil. What decor bits do you need?
Buy remaining thank you gifts and cards
How many gifts do you need? Do you have an idea of what to get people? Also, delegate some of this to your H2B!
Chase RSVPs
Delegate! Can your Mum/friend/MiL2B do this if you give them the list?
Do table plan - eek
Make table numbers, table plan etc
Can't be done till all RSVPs are in, so don't worry too much about that now! I'll be doing mine in the last week in case of cancellations!
Have a makeup trial with new MUA (hope it goes better than the last one!)
That's a nice thing on the To Do list, and not one to stress over I'm sure it will go much better than the last one, you were clearly unlucky!
Rehearsal - 22 June
Is there anything to actually organise for that, or is it just a case of turning up?
Exercise whenever I get the chance! :eek:

I think actually with over a month to go your To Do list is looking pretty good - I'm sure mine's a lot longer, and that's only if I catch up with all the stuff I'm behind on at the moment!

I am a huge bridezilla today and feel like crying/throwing a hissy fit/tearing my hair out/breaking things/cancelling the wedding and eloping to Vegas. If we'd just bl**dy done it when in Vegas last bl**dy summer we wouldn't have all this hassle. ARGH.

Just pray your MIL doesn't buy the same outfit... Which is exactly what mine did :eek: My mum got a beautiful LK Bennett dress last year, and then MIL2B has bought a cheap copy, despite asking me and my reply being "it's very similar in colour & style to my mum's..." Maybe I should have been harsher & less subtle? Either way, a tearful conversation with the OH about not wanting 60 year old bridesmaids (:rotfl:) and he had a word and she's agreed to return it...

I have a fit like that approximately every three days :rotfl: Totally rational behaviour

Anything we can help with? Or just want to vent? Have a dodgy hug :grouphug: or maybe a glass of something :beer:

That's awful Ellie - could you post the dress details on the "Find My..." thread and we'll see if we can help?
