Hi Hollie!

Good news, i went to a bridal shop today to have a look and found THE dress! It was so perfect and it was the exact design i wanted... i told the lady what i was looking for and she came out with one dress.... i was gobsmacked.. everything i was looking for! ahhh love it so much! and it had 25% off!

My budget was 350 and the sale price was 550.. i know it was more than what i budgeted but i was so happy with it.. so i went off for a coffee with one of my bridesmaids to calm down and talk about it, and i thought you know what ill kick myself if i didnt buy it and couldnt find anything like it!

So called my mum and said ive found the dress i want etc and sent her some pics (shes away this weekend) and she fell in love too!


So i went in and bought it and took it away! SO HAPPY EEEEK!

I then get a call from my mum to say my gran had given her a cheque for £200 towards the dress! i cried! SOOOO Happpy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

That's brilliant news Jalapee!! :T:beer::j Sounds like it was meant to be!

Just sneaked on here from the September 2012 thread, btw, cos there's no-one there and I feel like chatting about wedding stuff!!

Hope all August 2012 brides & grooms are well x

LOL! Men never quite understand the significance of wedding dresses, do they?

Plans not going too badly thanks - just ordered my underwear, which I needed before any further work could be done on my dress, and am very excited about seeing! Came THIS CLOSE to buying some lovely Victorian-style boots but stopped myself because I wasn't sure if they would go with my outfit and as I was buying them from the US it added £20 in import fees to the price :eek: Don't think I can really justify £120 unless I do some serious overtime and ebay selling!!

What I should be doing is researching photographers, as that is the next main thing on our list, but googling pretty shoes is so much more fun.....

have you looked at bhs? they have some very pretty dresses from £120 - or have u looked at ebay? i think i will get my veil, shoes & poss hair accessories from ebay to save a few ££.
a colleague of mine order her bm dress from an ebay seller in china - 3 dresses for £150, and i know they do bridal dresses, but i guess it can be a bit risky if the material etc isnt what you expected, then you will have to pay for alterations as well.
but defo look at bhs - you might be surprised.
im 4th of august btw :-)

HELLO! Haven't been on here for AGES... so exciting everyone's news, I haven't finished catching up yet but thought I'd post this before bed.

You lot have got me wanting a dad and daughter dance now, I decided to get him to walk with me down the aisle the other day and he was dead chuffed! At first I didn't want him to as I'm such a feminist and didn't want to be given away like someone's property, however I decided to wear heels and I want someone to stop me falling over! And this way I can joke about the feminism/heels thing in my speech so I will actually have something to say!

Love your colour scheme Tiara, weirdly I wanted blue and yellow but decided against as it's our football team's colours!

Lots of love anyway and I promise I'll be back soon with photos of my DRESS:j:j:j, new colour scheme (fickle, moi?) save the dates, erm, that's it at the moment I think! xxxxxxxxxxx
