    Hi,

    Thought I should let other people on this list know:

    The Salvation Army charity shop in Ipswich has been given loads of new wedding dresses by a woman who is retiring from the bridal dress business. I went to look last week and they are beautiful and currently have size 12-14 dresses for sale at half-price and less than the bridal shop was selling them for. They have a room dedicated to the dresses and have flower girl and bridesmaids dresses for sale as well. There are some beautiful dresses. They'll be getting all different sizes in; I'm looking for a 20 and was told to come back in a month.

    Hope this helps someone. Take care. lisele

    I've found my bridesmaids dresses (Raylia, Helena) which was more expensive than I first wanted. My bridesmaids have kindly agreed to pay the excess to get their favourite dress (about £60 each).

    I would, though, still like to bring the price down a little. Any ideas? The price in the bridal shop is £189. I've found them online in America, which would save us about £50 per dress including postage, but I can't figure out what the import duty would be on them. It's really tricky to figure out what I need to know from the government website!!!
    Am not witty enough to put something cool and informative here:o :o

    Hi,

    Does anybody know where I can get some cream or white, lace up boots with chunky heels to wear with a wedding dress. I think I was imagining something victorianish????

    Also a brides top hat with veil.
  • I have been a viewer of this post for some time...and am pleased to say I can now officially contribute as I got engaged last Thursday! And I am totally apprensive about organising it all, even though I have wanted to get married for ages!!

    Is this normal, to feel really bewildered even though you've known it is on the cards for a while?! We want to get married in June 2008 so I know I need to look at venues ASAP. I want a restaurant called Momma Cherri's in Brighton to do my catering...my question is which kind of place should I look at that would be OK with me bringing an outside caterer in?

    Thank you.

    It won't be MSE but if you have a very particular idea in mind and cannot find them anywhere then you could try Emmy shoes http://www.emmyshoes.co.uk/ or alternatively hen shoes https://www.henshoes.co.uk . both make commissioned shoes, starting around £250 though :eek:

    or else Basia Zarzycka (no decent website available, shop in Sloane Square, London) do lots of wedding shoes with historical references, although they tend more to the Georgian court shoe.
