Went dress shopping on Sunday:j
Found two gorgeous dresses, Both Maggie Sottero. One within budget which looked nice on but the second one was over budget and looked gorgeous and made my mum cry. I got emotional too but am unsure whether that was because my mum had got emotional or because i genuinely loved the dress. Weve looked at photographers and bands and quartets but nothing has been arranged or confirmed.

Have people met up with these suppliers?

Were looking at Antony Broughton for photography, Thackeray productions for the quartet and an idie band any reviews?

Thats good about the dress Mrsds2b and doublemummy. I can understand not wanting to get the dress now, i am worried i am goin to change my mind, but then again i brought it planning to still go dress shopping!

I have met up with the photographer before we booked them, but have not met up with caterer or band. We did check the band out on you tube before booking tho.

Oh that is terrible lorna! Hope u and ur h2b are doing ok. I am sure there are ways to still incorporate her into your day, and hope the dress lives up to your expectations.

no not really , she didnt have particulary great health , but she took a bad chest infection was admitted to hospital and was gone a week later, that bit was unexpected because we were told she wasnt goin to recover from it but didnt expect it to happen so quickly

Oh that's awful. Really sorry to hear that lorna.
