Woohoo, we had our portrait session with our photographer this weekend. He's started sending through edited pictures and so far they are looking good... even though my face is in them, Im so excited to see them all!

That's good stir_crazy. Glad you like them. That's exciting that everyone is getting dresses! I tried mine on at the weekend, and I need to loose 1.5 inches. So 2 for good measure. I have given mysel until feb, because if I have not at least made a dent by then I can buy another! So 4.5 months... I will do it. (although I am kind of thinking if I don't I get to go dress shopping again...)

Sorry guys, was so excited this morning that I didnt read any posts, you are all being so organised, the only thing we've talked about the rings were when I asked OH "so what kind of ring do you want?" And he replied "Um.... I dunno, what do you fancy?"
Lorna01 that sounds so emotional! Have you put the deposit down for your dress?

Ended up going to Nandos and Hobbycraft, then realising we'd run out of time! Useless!

On a good note, dress shopping for first time this weekend! Yay!!

I know a few of us are doing Autummn themes. Has anyone got any ideas for centrepieces? I know it's early to be thinking, would like to get mine bought/made soonish!

We're having large candelabras with church candles on them and ivy wrapped around the candleabra itself. Were having a halloween/autumn theme. Autumn during the day and more halloweeny at the evening reception.

Im going trying dresses on this weekend also

I dont really know either. I do know we are having glass vases (haven't decided tall, fish bowls etc) which we are filling with conkers, acorns etc. We will then put the flowers (2b decided) in oasis, n use the conkers to hide the stems etc. But what flowers have no idea?! What ever is cheapest!

johannalf88, Your centrepiece ideas are almost exactly the same as mine, great minds! I want a large hurricane vase on each table, which we will put a large church candle in and surround with acorns and conkers, might try and get some artificial berries too. I then want to make a wreath to go around the vase, made of natural twigs and fur cones and maybe dried out oranges etc. Flower wise I’m hoping to get some lovely artificial ones, deep oranges with more berries and foliage. I want it to look quite rustic/natural.
