    Another bargain for me - my underwear was free! I CBA going shopping for new stuff for the wedding night, but was having a tidy up of my undies drawer and found a matching set with tags on that I didn't fit into when I was fatter! So they will do nicely - and that's my something old sorted too :rotfl:

    I think our bridesmaid dresses are a bargain....not necessarily to everyone but they are to me! £75 for two of them and £90 for the third, from BHS, and only a little bit of alteration needed for two of them which will probably cost maximum £50. :) a far cry from the £250 a dress we were looking at in bridal shops!

    I was really happy with my 100 favour bags for £3.20, I got them in mixed colours and they arrived while I was away. I can't do a sweet table or sweet buffet due to a lack of space so I am going to fill them with sweets and put them on a cupcake stand for guests to take away (although 30 will be on the tables as actual favours of course)

    :)

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    My junior bridesmaids and flower girls dresses were my latest bargains.

    I got the three off ebay from different sellers. The dresses are all slightly different.

    My daughters dress, Tiger Lily dress. Retails for £44, paid £15.49 inc P&P.

    OH Daughters dress, a BHS dress. Retails for £55, paid £26 P&P

    My cousins dress, not sure what make it does have a lable on it but TBH I never read it. Was originally £17.50 inc P&P but was reduced to £13.50 inc P&P.

    Chuffed to bits that I got the 3 kids dresses for the price of the BHS one.

    With the savings from my Maid of honour and Bridesmaid dresses (I paid £50.09 for three Debut dresses, I only needed 2 but the extra one is so we can change the back of my MoH dress into a lace up back as the dresses have a small bust and she has a rather large one) I have altogether saved £221.42 :T

    My third wedding car.

    Long story short my nana kindly mentioned to my two cousins in the US that I would be asking them to be bridesmaids (even though I had decided against it) so I now need another car.

    I was paying £ 350 for these two:

    I am now having this one as well for a total of £490:

    I'm so chuffed that I got this one for only £140, I thought it would be well over £200 but they apparently like to keep costs under £500 plus I don't need to send anymore money as a deposit.

    My favours - little heart-shaped bath bombs. 150 for £27 from Ebay :D

    Centrepieces - costing a total of £60 for 12 - The stems will be trimmed to size, and the bottom couple of inches will be filled with aqua beads, and then topped up with water. The vase will be on a mirror plate, with four tealights in glass votives in each corner
