me and my partner were due to get married in 2010 but have had to postpone due to him being demoted :growlmad: his fault :dohh: so we have changed the date to 2011.

anyways since we decided to postpone our plans have gone on the backburner i guess it lost the spark of planning it all iykwim.

so wanted to get an idea of the things i can do now while i wait :D i have been buying the odd things e.g cake stand,tiara,accessories etc but any ideas on actual planning?

thanks ladies. x
 
I have been to a wedding show to get lots of ideas and idea on prices to help with budget!
