2019 Wedding

My dress came on Monday, it's gorgeous but I can't get it zipped up! Good job we started our healthy eating plan at the weekend :rotfl: I'm going to try it on again in about 4 months and see what it looks like, that will be approximately a year to go then.

We have decided on a rustic theme with hessian, white and blue.

I quite fancy wearing blue shoes, my dress is longer than I expected but you will be able to see my ankles and feet, but I haven't seen any that I fancy though.

We didn't go to the venue last night the lady had to cancel as they were short staffed, rebooked for Friday, I've given her a short list of possible dates so she is going to look to see what's available. Then we will be able to make the call to the Registry Office and be official

We've bought artificial flowers and had a play with them, they don't look too bad, not sure I was going to get much choice in the matter to be fair, and I'm considering using artificial in a bouquet for me. I also potted some seeds at the weekend, different combinations of gypsophila, cornflower and sweet pea to see what happens.

Hope everyone else is getting on well with their planning.

Everyone's welcome Financialwizard

Invitations - I've been having a play with Optimal Print and 123print. I will have another look at Vista Print, I used to order lots of bits from them.

Divorce update - delayed at present due to one party not sending their proof of name change with the form! Fingers crossed it is sorted fairly quickly.

Venue - still not been for another visit as I am suffering really badly with sciatica at the moment, I've had to take time off work.

Shoes - I've seen a pair of Jo Brown shoes that I like, they are pink and blue with a pink corsage on them maybe I'll have to pop some pink into the scheme! Failing that, I have found a couple of pairs of white shoes that will be fine, I will have a look at John Lewis though, thanks Katapolt.

Flowers - we're having artificial for table decorations and if I can find some that I'm happy with I'll consider them for my bouquet. Have any of you seen anywhere to buy artificial blue Ranunculus? I have potted some seeds to see how quickly they grow and what the results are like. I've just got a couple of shoots coming through

Oh and I forgot to mention that we went to a little wedding fair the other week, there was a jeweller there and I was able to try some rings on, so I now have an idea on what I'd really like to have, initially I would have been happy with a plain white gold band, but H2B wants me to have something a bit different and special. The only thing is, it bumps up the ring budget quite a bit. He has said that he would be happy for me to just have a ring but I'm not sure I like that idea, what's other brides opinions on that?

Depending on how we get on with the venue and the costs there, that will decide on a couple of other factors, including whether or not we get married at the venue or registery office.

Nothing extra to add to the WF this month next lot of dosh in that pot will be on 1st May

I think we're coming along nicely as we still have not set the date, due to divorce and venue.
