2012 Brides

[charmedlassie]

We have narrowed it down to two reception venues.
They both offer pretty much the same however with venue one I love the menu, its has a starter, two main meal options and a pud with I think everone will enjoy but doesnt offer a room for the bride and groom wheras the other place does but the menu in my budget is very meh.
So I don't really know what to go for!

Hey all Please can i be added to the front page. We are getting married on 20th July 2012 and i'm so unbelieveably excited i could burst!!! Only 505 sleeps eek

We have booked and paid deposits on

Venue - www.holdsworthhouse.co.uk
Photographer
Cars

I know what stationary i think i want but i am waiting a little while because i don't want to buy it and then find something i like better.
I have also found the weddings rings we want just saving over the next couple of months to get those

Our colours are deep purple and white and have decided on purple and white calla lillies for the flowers xxx

 

[Lou+Bubs]

I am going for purple and white calla lillies too, then just white calla lillies for my bridesmaid as they are going to be some sort of purple dresses. Where about in yorkshire are you??

 

[Lisa84]

wahey!!!! I'm from just outside Halifax.

Where are you getting married hun?

I didn't even know they did purple calla lillies and then we went to a wedding fayre at the venue and was discussing flowers with one of the suppliers and said that i would like purple flowers but counldn't find any i liked so was going to go with white calla lillies and she said they did them in purple. Result!!!!!

My bridesmaids will also have just white and i will have a mixture of the 2. Think we will also be having candleabras as centre pieces with calla lillies somehow entwined xx

Hey can I join? Not booked yet but I will be getting married Sept 2012

 

[Angelblue]

MummyToAmberx - Lol venue is a good place to start!

dani_tinks added - yours is the same date as Hayley90 - have you got anything booked yet?

Lisa84 added - wow you are so organised, I've got venue,church and photographer but haven't got a clue on anything else. FLowers is next on my list to book (you dont have to decide what you want until 6 months before)

jms895 added - any ideas what you want yet?

 

[Lisa84]

We will have been engaged 2 and half years by the time we get married so i have had a bit of time to think about what i want.
I think making the decisions has been made easier coz i have a definate idea of what i want xxx

 

[dani_tinks]

Not quite yet! We're putting our deposit down on venue next month, they have us pencilled in though once thats booked i'll be getting my arse into gear to book the marquee and caterers! x

 

[jms895]

No idea! I have no idea on costs etc.... can anyone help?

 

[Angelblue]

I could do with some ideas of cost on flowers, but I suppose its like everything isnt it - it depends how much you want to spend!!! This is our budget so far... rough estimates...

Invitations - £50
Church - Parents paying (£300)
Photographer - £950 booked
Videographer - Wedding present - My sister (she is professional - she will edit but her assistants will do it because she needs to be in it!
Flowers - £200-300???
Car - Parents paying £???
Wedding rings - £200 (we will blatently need more than this)
Venue - £3,000 booked
Food - £1,000
Drinks - £400?
DJ - £300
Bridal Suite - £145
Cake - OH Parents paying £???
Centerpieces - £100?
Favours - £50?
Stationery - £50?
Wedding dress - £500-1,000?
Accessories - £30?
Bridesmaids dresses - Parents paying
BM Accessories - £50
Hair & Makeup - £30
Suit hire - £100?

Honeymoon - £??? Think we'll get people to give us money towards this as wedding presents

How does everyone elses budget look???

 

[Lisa84]

I think how much u have to pay varies massively depending on who and what you go with e.g. i have seen people pay £300 for a photographer but ours is £2000+

It also depends on how much you have in total to spend. I think we are lucky we are getting alot of help from both sets of parents so have gone all out with a few things xxx
