Dream wedding in a castle budget of £2500.. can it be done?

lupyloo

Thank Zoe, I have decided my dream job would be an MSE wedding planner. I got my rings from thebeautifulcompany in the end. I had lots of communication with them first and after telling them about my very tight budget they gave me 10% off my order. The communication was fantastic and would definitley recommend them. Need to post a review on their site too. HTH

hi hun - well done for your budgetting so far!! you can buy flowers from e-bay they would be cheaper and put them together yourself. That's what I have done and for £37 I have made 4 bridesmaids bouquets, a flower girl basket, 9 button holes and a larger brides bouquet xx I used sarahrichards on ebay xx

Hi winterbride, I did post a thread asking for help to buy foam flowers and quantities etc but didnt get many replies, Any ideas about what I would need to buy would be gratefully received. Definitley doing flowers myself, really looking forward to it now i have made my mind up. £37.00 that is amazing xx

The bridal workshop sell loose foam roses, you can order a sample to check the colour etc, go on ebay and search for foam roses, thats how i found the ones i liked, alternatively, there will be people selling their bouquets second hand, and you might get a bargain. Thanks for the hugs btw!! I liked the mixture of foam and silk in my bouquets, i bought extra diamante on sticks and wove them in as well, and a couple of butterflies for my daughters bouquets.

No problem themull, we all need hugs from time to time, do you have any pictures you wouldnt mind sharing, they sound lovely. I am also having a butterfly theme so would love to see what they look like. Never thought of mixing the flowers either will look into that too.

hi hun -my planning pictures: http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/669805866 (the password is 'winter' if needed)

I bought 8 bunches of blue flowers and 10 bunches of ivory, this was more than enough - in my planning pics there are pics of my bouquets xx

Winterbride those photos are gorgeous, really like your flowers, getting excited about mine coming now. Ordered the flowers from Sara Richards after recommendations on here. You can tell you planned everything really well, thanks for sharing x

Organza chair sashes are cheap on ebay- I ordered 20 for a few pence under £20 delivered from China- came within about 2 weeks. The woman I used was vlovelife- very reasonable and loads of different colours. Nice quality. HTH

Hi Winterbride can I ask where you got the memorial candle from? Have thought about having one for my dad whos passed away! The photos are gorgeous, love the snowflakes.
I am getting married start of 2013 and havent even begun looking yet, so far I have a card postbox and ladies favour bags as they were massive bargains that I couldnt pass up on! Our colour scheme is chocolate and cream, although I dont really have a theme. Our budget will be approx £4000! Hoping to make as much as I can, so far planning on makling:all stationery including table plan, favours (keyrings with charms for ladies and box of scottish fudge for men), table centres, candy buffets, all flowers, and would like to attempt 4 flowergirls headbands as well although that might be a bit adventurous!
