So finally engaged to my handsome fiancé Samuel so this is my new journey no idea where to start but starting early as you can see by the date any ideas where to start ? probably going to be a relatively small budget considering i'll be finishing uni the same year but 2015 seems too far away! haha ideas welcomed and i will be starting the hunt for that special dress!

Hi congrats you can def start looking at venues, as it's early you will be a lot more likely to get where you want on the date and times you want! You should get pen to paper and start a wedding plan! Start writing down what u see and like, colours, themes ect. I started planning in November and gettin married in 2 weeks, I changed my mind on so many things all the way through but writing it all down helped! Good luck!

lol not tooo far for 2015 lol I've got 2 years 8 months left wooo . we've already booked our venue so I'd definetly suggest looking for a venue also think about colour schemes too and possibly numbers do you can work out a budget and oh congrats

Congratulations on setting your date!
I'd start by sorting out your budget, looking at the number of guests and then start looking at venues

Wow that does look good! We had a 10 grand budget and weve not spent it all!! We are having 80 guests in the day for £1800 and then 80 more for evening at £560. This is for a 3 course meal and evening buffet in a lovely Inn. We thought this price was good and the food and the place is just what we want. They didnt do packages so drinks will be extra, about £500, cake was £500, photographer is £320. Cars £200, my dress £1500, my shoes, jewlery ect about £100. Mens suits £320. Bridesmaids things £200. Favours £100. Hair on the morning £40 ( a close friend is doing it) Registrar, £350, plus £250 to get married at the inn. Marriage licence cost us £70. £100 for table decs, £500 for flowers.Dj £200. I think thats everything! All comes to about £7000.

Weddings can be expensive but they dont have to be! Someone told me that if your are planning a budget wedding, tell people as they will want to help! Thats an idea of what my wedding cost anyway, hope it helps a bit, im in devon by the way!
