August 2012 Brides and Grooms

Hadley1

Hi

Can I join you all please?

We have the 25th August 2012 on hold with a venue and I am hoping to book it on Sunday (just need to get the OH totally committed). That sounds bad, he does know the date is held and at what venue (infact he secured it as it was the Bank Holiday weekend). I just need to make sure he is totally happy with it.

Anyway, after all that waffle - I am going to be yet another 25th August 2012 bride!! (well keep your fingers crossed for me anyway)!!

Hi Hadley1 *waves*

Welcome on board, the more the merrier
Will keep my fingers crossed that Sunday goes well for you, and that you both decide on a venue you are really happy with :T

We're going to see a photographer this weekend, I'm ever so excited, it's finally all starting to feel a bit real now :j

Yet another 25th August 2012! Also getting married in Oxfordshire, there seems to be quite a few of us on here!

I'm afraid I'm one of those super organised types and already have church, venue, rings, dress, caterers, florist and cake already booked! Still need to sort out a photographer and entertainment though.

:wave: Hi Everyone!

We've reserved our venue for the 26th August 2012, will pay the deposit and make it 'official' on sunday!! Am sooo excited dont know how i'll cope with waiting 'til the big day :jjust wish the registrar could be booked sooner than the 12 months.

Next on my to do list is find a photographer and maybe look at cakes (we want a cupcake tower but mum is horrified and is insisting we need a cake to cut - not the giant cupcake that we have suggested!)

Oooh another date twin, welcome to the thread Liverbird August 25th certainly seems a popular date, I had better get a move on and get organised before everything gets booked up!
Yikes you've done so much already! I am sooooooooo far behind you. I've only sorted the church, venue, caterers, & entertainment. Am planning to make the cake myself but have no idea whatsoever about the dress. Also haven't decided on our colours yet so not sure what I want flower-wise. Whereabouts in Oxfordshire are you, if you don't mind me asking? No worries if you would rather not say

Hi Claiiire98, welcome The cupcake tower sounds fab, I was tempted to go for one myself but I have decided not to, as they would need to be made the day before to keep them fresh and I will have too many toher things to do! They do look beautiful though, and a giant cupcake to cut sounds really fun. Maybe you need to work on convincing your Mum tee hee

Don't worry too much, you have plenty of time, I've just been engaged since 2007 so had to fill the time somehow! :rotfl:

I'm in Abingdon, getting married in a small village called Wytham though. How about you?

Tiara_2

Wow you must have the patience of a saint to have been waiting since 2007 :eek: I've only been engaged 6 months and I already can't wait to get married!
Ah I am just a few miles away from Abingdon, small world eh! Getting married in our local little village church, then having the reception in Oxford city centre

I booked my nail treatments today for me and my bridesmaid, and now looking at flowers and photographers. Haven't decided what colours of types of flowers I want yet, so need to work that out soonish. The colours will also influence invites etc, so need to work them out before I can do much more. I love dark blue for the bridesmaid dress and the mens ties etc, but I also love dark red roses so not sure which colour to go for!

I think my OH would disagree with you on how patient I am! :rotfl:

Your plans sound lovely! We are going for a small village church too, then reception round the corner in the village hall - it'll be a very DIY wedding so I have tons to make and do, which I don't mind but is a bit daunting!

Yep, definitely decide on a colour scheme - it makes life much easier! We're having navy blue too, but with blush pink (with the pink mostly through the flowers) to make it a bit more summery! No reason why you can't have blue and red, I think that would look lovely together! You could even have a Great Britain/retro theme, if you know what I mean?

BTW, if you want a rec for flowers, try Green and Gorgeous near Wallingford - we were very impressed with them and have booked them this week!

Another 25 August here too! Booked registrar, venue, got food sorted but thats about it.

I'm lucky, my venue has only just been licenced again to do weddings so I pretty much had first dibs on dates!!

Congrats to everyone here and roll on next year!!
