Natalie- you arent alone on the glue thing- I remember doing that when I was little!!:D Hehe, me and my friend always say that birthdays and christmas are calorie free days!!

And lAurar- the bridesmaid dress is lovely.

Oh I was impressed today, when I got my dress they took my number and said they would ring me when an offer came up on dry cleaning that wouldnt expire for a while, but I thought they may forget to ring, but they didnt and they called me today so im going to go in and find out costs. The lady I have booked alterations with said she may be able to get the marks out, but depending on the costs I may get it cleaned before anyway, and when I pop in im going to order my petticoat!!

Oh yes I remember that dress Laura!! Lol I see so many dresses etc on here I forget who's having which!! Lol.

Oh that is exciting news Emma.

I'm gutted lol - the pencil I use for pretty much everything (I hate writing in pen) has run out of lead so I have just been online to order some refills. Anyway I was going to order via amazon and then get a few more little bits like balloons. Anyway Amazon didn't have what I wanted (which actually really surprised me) so I've had to go with my usual online store (cultpens) to get them. I suppose though I really shouldn't be buying balloons this early incase the latex goes all funny between then and now (I have visions of old balloons sticking to themselves). What else weddingy can I do? Lol

Hehe, someone is trying to stop you spending money Natalie!!

Well I cant find any pics to give an example of my table centrepieces but basically they will be ivory gerberas in a tall lily vase with the gerberas being at different heights (so one tall, one at the bottom close to the vase and one inbetween if that makes sense) with some green long grass at the back and will be tied together with ivory and pink ribbon- when my mil2b was showing they looked fab so i cant wait to see them properly done!!

MrsDrink

They sound lovely Emma!! Just what you were after as well which is brilliant!!

I can see I'm just going to have to sit and be patient until I can go dress shopping. *sigh* It is funny though - usually at this time of year I'm on count down (in days) to the end of term. This year whilst I know it's coming and I'm looking forward to it, I'm more excited about dress shopping. God it had better live up to my expectations, and I had better bloody find a dress I love!!

Very nice dress. Looks good with shawl. It's really lovely, reminds me of my sister's wedding.

MrsDrink

Guess what I've spent the last couple of hours doing

The light is getting too dark now to take a good photo - this was the best of the bunch:



They do look really good - am sooo pleased with them - and only for £10 (not including the tealights - £12 if I include them!)

Natalie- they look so fab. And such a bargain.

LauraR- I saw those and thought they were lovely.

Well i sent to my reception place yesterday and think they have persuaded me to pay them to do my afternoon food aswell- mainly because the will include table clothes, napkins, cutlery plates etc all included in the price and they will set the whole room up however we want so i just need to get the ok from my oh and then I will book that.

MrsDrink

That certainly sounds like great peace of mind Emma. If they are doing your afternoon and evening food at least you're not having to chase around different caterers.

Well I don't have anything weddingy to do now. Very boring lol. The bad thing is the more time I've got with nothing to do the more I look at what else we could do (like the lanterns). Which means spending more. Lol the latest thing is wondering how I could use fairy lights to decorate the backgarden. At one point I was seeing how I could put a canopy up lol.
