Hi All,

Please can I join this topic, as i'm now a September 2012 bride:j

My OH has finally decided it's time to make an honest woman of me & we have decided that we are going to get married at St Paul's Bay in Lindos Rhodes. We are working with a local wedding planning company out there & yesterday they confirmed that our wedding is booked for 10th September 2012:D I'm so excited. We have worked out what we can afford & hopefully we can pay for everything that I want.

Is it too early to start trying on wedding dresses:rotfl:No idea of the type of dress as it will be very hot, so thinking not a traditional dress but I want to look like a bride. I want my OH to have some sort of white/cream suit with a waistecoat rather than jacket I think, mybe linen but it does crease so much is the suitcase:think:

Anyway love reading what every one is doing, roll on Sept 2012.

Hi fawny, congratulations and welcome to the thread! :j

You're getting married at the same place as another bride-to-be on the forum - her username is twirlypinky and she's getting married this summer I think.

Never too early to start looking for dresses!! The Maggie ones bubbles linked to are gorgeous, and Monsoon do beautiful dresses that suit hot weather weddings as well. A pale trousers and waistcoat outfit would be perfect for your H2B, and linen would be lovely and cool - the last thing you want is a sweaty groom in a polyester suit - uuurrgh! He'll be able to press it at the hotel (or get the staff to do it ) so don't worry about creasing.

The pattern is this one: http://bridalcoveredbuttons.co.uk/FishTailDressPatterns.aspx with the sweetheart neckline. But I'm adapting it a bit, it's going to be fitted down to just under my bum and then have a load of layers bunched up, a bit like this: http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?page=21&style=A3135 and then it's going to have one strap of turquoise flowers going diagonally to the back of the opposite side. Lots of work, but it's going to be worth it.

Oops, I didn't quote the original question about the pattern, I think it was White_Sapphire that asked.

Yes, 'twas I...

What a stunning design, bet you can't wait to get started!

Thanks for the welcome. Yes I've had a chat with twirlypinky as I gave her some info about Rhodes. Thanks for the link Bubbles, some of those dresses are beautiful. Will have to have a good look but think the budget will only be about £300 max for the dress, but it certainly gives me ideas of what I could have.

You are right I definatly don't want a sweaty groom:eek:

welcome to the new september brides!!

oo lovely dress designs!! again i think you ladies are really talented with making something like that for yourselves!

hope everyones planning is going ok....im taking a slight break from it at the mo with all the cakes i have to make this month etc!
the more i surf the internet the more ideas i find and it all equals more money pushing up the budgets LOL

im going to be looking into some wedding songs soon (we have already decided on our first dance one) but we need 5 pieces of music for walking in to, signing register, walking out too etc.
im looking into some of our fav films theme tunes, and songs that have meaning to us etc to make it more personal though i am NOT having OH's fav TV programme theme tune...CSI or NCIS lol

bubbles0169

nuttymummy

nuttymummy

im trawling through all my fav disney films, n others like the goonies, dark crystal, labyrinth, flight of the navigator, edward scissorhands, nightmare before xmas and lots of horror films lmao

natc

Tracey, those films are some of my all time favourites too! Can tell were fro same era! haha.

Went to church yesterday where we'd like to get married, its lovely. The Vicar wasnt there though this week, there was a trainee vicar, who was equally as nice, but we have been told to speak to the full time vicar, so will book that in the next couple weeks!!! hehehehe! Exciting!

nuttymummy

oooo great stuff nat!
ive never heard of a trainee vicar before LOL though i suppose they must exist! did he say which one would be doing the ceremony?

lol i love films


ok you already know my thoughts on my wedding...want it all fun etc!
so far we have chosen....this for signing register (adams fav disney film by far and fits the venue!!):

From one of my fav 80's films...the Goonies!!!
(i always call adam a goonie so also fits perfect!)

then it gets even worse when we walk out to this!: LMAO (again from adams fav disney film!)
fits the theme again......and we'd love to have this as our 'motto' for the rest of our lives

still need to choose something to walk into, and another for signing the register....trying to think of fav films etc. (wanted under the sea on steel drums too ha ha)

noow i demand u to go back n listen to all those songs all the way through coz they are awesome ha ha

natc

Hahaha, love your song choices!!!

Yes, a trainee vicar, a curate or something! lol. He was lovley, I dont mind which one really. But Dan would like the original one as he knew his Grandma very well. He is also very lovely! I think it helps when the person who is marrying you is easy to get along with and nice and humourous.
