    Ooooh sounds like your all sorted too. I love it when sales people are extra helpful. Every little helps :-)

    I priced up a wedding ring to fit exactly into my engagement ring and it was £290 which is cheaper than the online quotes i have had :-) Think i may shop around though as i'm sure i can get it a little cheaper :-D

    I love the egg shell candles - have you looked into how to make your own candles? You can buy the home kits quite cheap :-) Also if you pva glue the shells will they be less fragile?

    Awwww... lovely that the April 2012 brides are already supporting each other!

    I have my bridesmaid dresses now, but the girls are yet to try them on. I also bought them a GORGEOUS handbag each in the New Look sale today. Purple clutch that is beaded all over, reduced from £18.99 to £5! I'm going to keep to as a surprise for them and put some things in it like tissues etc that they may need on the day. (And also I may need as I'm not taking a bag myself I don't think!)

    This time next week it will be April, then we'll have about a year to go! Woop!

  • This time next week will be march still Emz!lol! And I'll only have a few days until our wedding! Sh*t... I'm the first of our weddings!

    Is anyone checking the weather and hoping it's a day like today on their wedding day? Today was glorious!

    Emz, have you thought about getting your bm's an embroidered hanky? I saw some on etsy today which I'm thinking of giving to my mom, sister and best friend! I'll send you the link on fb tomorrow.

    Night girls!

    Oooooops.... too much baileys tonight... there goes this weeks weight loss, but I have shed a few brain cells it seems!!!

    Ooooh... I could do embroidered hankies. I'd have to give someone an extra for me still though... in fact, maybe one each for me! Haha!

    ETA: It would be lovely if it was like today, but maybe a couple of degrees warmer and slightly less wind down our way, but I am just being fussy!!!

    Hi all!!!

    Long time no action on this thread!!!

    I went to a wedding fayre with my Mum today and she seemed OK with the fact that I have booked the village hall. (Phew!) She was being funny about having it at a hotel, so she seems to have calmed down now, which is great. She has even offered to make my bunting for me! Hooray!

    I saw lots of lovely ideas, but not much I really wanted, or could afford.

    One thing I would love is a magician... he was absolutely AMAZING!!! But £350+VAT for 90 mins. Ouch!!! Not sure we can afford that, although Mumm was very taken with the idea so she might decide to pay. Who knows?!?!?!

    Also, got what I thought was a bargain as a present from my Mummy... my something blue. Here it is on the website of the lady we bought it off, but it was only £4.50 as a show special! Bargain! (Although I would never have paid, or let anyone else pay £11 for it!!!)

    Another thing I was told today by a car lady, is be careful of pale cars if you have a pale dress, because in photo's your dress can get lost against the car... interesting thought.

    I know... everyone is very quiet - I hope just pottering on and getting their plans all sorted!

    So glad that your mum was alright with the village hall - yay about the bunting too!

    Oh the story of my life - so much I want, so much I can't have! :( so I'm improvising! :D
