2015 bride-to-be chat thread

[Logan's Mum]

Hello!! Im getting married 25th April 2015, nice to meet other 2015 brides!

I have a journal somewhere.... anyone else starting one up?

We have a venue in mind, just finalising plans to get a quote. Its on the 5th floor room of the hotel (top floor) so theres lovely views, plus a separate bar area. Looks to be pretty cheap too, a finger buffet for 80 for £1500, including DJ and bridal suite. We are not having the DJ though.

I like the coral colour scheme, would look amazing for a summer wedding. I love dark wintery colours like cranberry and dark green. Not sure if it would suit a spring wedding though I think I might go for a midnight blue with silver and gold. Blue will really suit the bridesmaids, they will be wearing long dresses, and I hope to have one which is just below the knee (to show off my shoes ) The bouquet will be spring flowers (including daffodils) which will look amazing against the blue dresses (my dress will be silvery, but should stand out just as much I hope).

There will be kids at our wedding, they will be invited though I hope most of them will be left with babysitters. I would just feel horrible leaving out the little ones!

That venue looks amazing, Emma!

 

[Emma&Freya]

Bartness I feel awful, but cos my Mum and Dad are paying im obviously limited I cant afford the extras which does make me upset, but they will be there to party in the night

My Mums buying the girls a portable dvd player for xmas this year so that will be handy for the wedding

My venue Im so excited for, Ive got the little room to get married in cos its got stairs and a better aisle and I have a better outside watch the other bride getting married in the bigger room be on here now

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

[Emma&Freya]

Thank you

Gooorgeous Venue! Can I share the one at the top of my list? I'll just attach a pic.
It's an enclosed room with glass ceilings, tree's, fairylights etc to make it look like its outside. :') Room hire is FREE & I feel like decorations should be kept minimal - but it's $99AUD per head.

As for kiddies - our reception is already going to be small. 40ish people. So our son will be the only one there. I wanted the couple of parents to be able to relax.

We're currently leaning towards April 2015. April is Autumn (fall) in Australia & is my favourite month for weddings! We're having a garden ceremony and the golden orange and reds of the leaves and trees will be stunning!

Wow Zoe

Hi Girls, how exciting is it that we are getting married NEXT year?!
we are planning to marry on 8 August 2015 if the venue is available for that date, we are going to see it on the 19 of this month and will book it then if it is.

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

Zoe that is out of this world

Hi maryp0ppins :wave: That is a week before ours I hope you get your date x

 

[Bartness]

Hi again, Zoe that venue is very nice.

I'm only going to call our first choice venue, and I'm going to ask on the date of Friday June 26th, 2015.

Still haven't decided on my accent color. I'm at a loss of what will look good with a dark purple (cant use silver, because those were my cousins colors), maybe just go with lighter shades of purple like lavender and what not, and a few shades of complimenting pinks in the flowers?

I have my heart set on doing a wine theme. I have a ton of neat ideas with wine bottles and wine corks. we've been saving corks now for about two years, so hopefully we will have enough.

I started weight watchers online, this is my second week. I have a year and a half to loose 60 lbs.! I'm starting out slow, with just learning how to eat right, and then I'll start adding in exercising (I'm a bit lazy). wish me luck!

 

[Logan's Mum]

Zoe that venue is gorgeous!

Bartness, this may sound like a cliche, but maybe a wine colour would go with dark purple? I like cranberry, dark green and dark purple together.

This is a pic of my venue, set up for someones wedding (not my sort of thing colour-wise ) The windows overlook the town (old spa town so pretty). Behind the photographer is a separate bar area.

 

[Charlie91]

Hope you guys don't mind another .

Our wedding is booked for June 20th 2015. I know I need to start organising but I'm completely baffled where to start - all we have is a date and a venue!!

 

[Bartness]

Charlie, with a year and half to go just having a date and venue booked is fantastic.

For more information on where you should go on your planning I totally suggest www.theknot.com Its seriously a fantastic site, you can plug in your date, and colors and it gives you a check list, and heck you can even manage your guests list on it, AND do your budgeting on it.

I'm using it for my *hopefully* June 26th,2015 (if not that day it will be June 19th) wedding. I just have to see if the venue is available on that/those days so I can book!

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

Hi charlie :wave:

An one got an idea's for table names? I have no idea and I am rubbish at stuff like that x

I haven't even thought about anything like that - 1 2 3 4 5 it is . Perhaps places you and OH have been?

I didn't even consider transporting my guests from the ceremony to the reception until my aunty mentioned it to me .

 

[Bartness]

Aidan, whats the theme for your wedding?

Like for mine table names would be something like: Merlot, chardonnay, White Zin, etc....

well I went to the venue we want for the reception/wedding, and they have our date open, I got a welcome packet with menu lists of preferred venders, costs break downs, etc....

The date is being held for us for two weeks, and Im pretty sure we will be putting the deposit down asap, I just have to ask my parents for the money (they are contributing 2,000, and the deposit is 2,000 so perfect right?).
