wedding's in 2013 :)

ohh thanks, to be honest mine looks so much better in the flesh than in the photo, dont actually look the same dress lol. im going to have it alterd so its more fitted and kind of like a fishtail at the bottom, abit poofyer maybe lol.

I no i get so excited talking about it, think thats why people are getting fed up of me so at least i can talk about it on here lol xxx

The detailing on the bodice is lovely. I really, really want to show you mine, but I'm not going to haha.

Is it that colour that you've bought too..?

My wedding is June 29th. Congrats to all the other brides to be!

I met with a wedding planner yesterday and I am so excited to have the help. How many of you have purchased your dresses already?

I have booked the ceremony site, the reception venue, picked the tuxes and bridesmaids dresses, hired our photogs, and purchased the most beautiful dress for myself. So excited!

ive purchased my dress, its in my photos in my profile, i love it but looks so much better on than it does in the pics. ohh a wedding planner, ay. how posh lol. jokeing. wish i could have had one of those but have planned it all myself, actually has been very stress free

i have booked the church, reception, limo, wedding car, photographer, cake maker, dj and room decorator and mil is doing the favours. ohh have also booked the hairdresser lol. im right on track xx

I wanted help for the day of, but meeting with her, she is going to help me with all the craft projects I want to do and I felt it would be easier on me in the long run as I am a stay at home mom of a four year old boy... he keeps me busy!

It is also my second marriage, and I remember how planning the first one went, so I want to avoid that LOL

Here is a picture of my dress... I am so in love!

That is a beautiful dress!

im getting my flowers off of ebay, there fake but so pretty. my friend had them at her wedding when i was bridesmaid and ive kept them and they still look as good as they did on the day ive got a large bouquet then ive got 6 smaller ones for the bridesmaids all coming in at 120 pounds

Its defo worth a look. ive got all my table decorations and the table covers from ebay. I have also found someone in bridgwater that will decorate the hall, head table and out white chair covers on 100 chairs with sashes all for 400. Ive done alot of looking around and research lol. xxx

I've looked on the flowers on ebay because I was thinking fake too, to keep the price down. I was just thinking I might buy everything to make them and have a go at making my own, that way I get what I want. But it's a risk because they might be rubbish. Your flowers sound like a right bargain.. I've got 4 bridesmaids and what I've looked at, they're coming in at about the same price!

Oh, I love wedding talk!!! I've been married for ten years, but I just want to say that I had silk flowers at my wedding, including my bridal bouquet (which my mom arranged) and I am so happy I did. I have used some of the arrangements in our homes over the years, was able to pass along some to sister/friends for their weddings, and my bouquet is the most cherished of all because I now have daughters, one of which is four and loves to play wedding. Every time she asks to see my bouquet or play with it, she also wants me to tell her about my wedding day. It is so special to have an actual part of my wedding to share with my daughters, to let them enjoy as they pretend to be brides, and to remember when maybe someday they really are!

a question to all you brides to be..

I'm thinking of packing in the 'day job' and making my hobby my full time career - taking photos of people, with a big part of it being weddings. I've done a couple and loved it, it's amazing to be a part of someones big day.

but its tough to get started, so how did you choose *your* photographer?

My photographer is a friend of mine however his success is mainly down to word of mouth, plus he has links to all of the wedding fayres and some of the venues. I think the jey to starting out will be to build a solid reutation and the rest will grow from there. Good luck.

Another 2013 bride here. We're getting married at Polhawn Fort in Cornwall, UK on October the 12th. I have done nothing apart from book the venue and choose the caterers! I'm hoping to do most of the planning in the winter/spring. But I do spend far too much time looking at dresses that I'd like to try if/when I lose this weight!

My photographer is a young photographer and just starting out in the wedding business, he had an advert on gumtree for a full days photography for £300 if booked within a month. I've spoke to him, met him, looked at his stuff and he's very talented. So I got a bargain, for an amazing photographer

His prices have now gone to £500 for half a day and £800 for the full day, and I believe he's still getting plenty of bookings
