Hi! :wave:

Wow I haven't updated this in a lonnnnnng time!! The wedding is only 7 weeks away!! Eek! Here's what we've done so far and still need to do:

Done
* Dress - All paid for
* Veil - All paid for
* Groom's suit - All paid for
* Venue - All paid for
* Invites - All sent out
* Evening entertainment/food - All sorted by venue
* Registrar - All paid for
* Flowergirl gifts - All paid for

In Progress
*Photographer - Deposit paid

Still need to sort out
* Bridal hair accessories (though I know what I want)
* Hairdresser
* Bridal underwear
* Shoes (Bride & Groom)
* Rings
* Bridesmaid dresses (finally picked one we're sticking with!)

* Favours (any ideas?!)
* Candles for centrepieces

To be fair it still looks like we have a lot to do but it's just a case of paying for what we've chosen and a lot of them are just fiddly bits. All the most important things are paid for

These are our bridesmaid dresses: CLICKY CLICKY!

These are our flowergirl dresses: CLICKY CLICKY!

Ummmmm what else! I'll be having a bouquet of navy blue silk roses, and the bridesmaids will have ivory roses. The flowergirls are having these little heart cages with a corsarge pinned on. Sort of like this but with navy/ivory flowers: CLICKY CLICKY!

I'll leave it there x

Have you got a wedding blog hun? I can't believe how close we both are! xx

 

[4magpies]

I do but I never write in it. Just write the odd thing on my IVF blog these days. Juggling too much.

We've basically done everything just going to get measured for rings this weekend then can order them, need to order favours, and I've got dress fittings oh and I need to buy wellies but that is it!

I didn't realise those pics came out sideways! They were the right way round on my phone Here they are with me trying them on in the light there will be 2 bridesmaids in the strapless and 1 in the dress with straps

I'm so not organised Mummy May! This has all been panic bought because there's only 5 weeks left! We've left everything til last minute

This afternoon I'm off to the wholesalers with the lady who's doing my flowers so we can get them brought

I'm a bit miffed with a seller on eBay though. I ordered 3 engraved zippo lighters for our ushers (was meant to order 4 but obviously pressed the wrong button ) and they're still not here. The delivery date on eBay says the 22nd and the seller isn't messaging me back at all. If they haven't arrived when I get home I think I'll open up a dispute

Another quick update even though I know no one is really following anymore lol nice to keep it straight in my head though!
