it's all official - saying "I do" on 20th July 2013 ** venue pics page 59 **

[mummymunch]

oh my i live 30mins from milton keynes! dont tempt me to come with you!

 

[EmmyReece]

I could probably do with the moral support, I mentioned it to Nikki and she didn't sound too keen

 

[mummymunch]

oh i so would come with you hun! would love to meet you! and look at lovely dresses!

 

[EmmyReece]

I have no idea when it will be, but I think I'll get in touch with the store on monday and see what they say I'll probably aim for july when we're back from turkey, and it'll probably be a monday

Am hoping Vici (Scamp) can come with me too, as long as I give her enough notice (fingers crossed) to get the day off work

 

[EmmyReece]

Ok ladies, I couldn't wait until monday to email the store. I sent a message on facebook asking what the earliest in advance I could book an appointment was

I won't get a reply until monday probably, but I've taken the first step towards sorting it all out

Oooohhh and I spotted this pretty dress on their website

[mummymunch]

wooooo i get to meet miss emily for her dress viewing, aren't i the lucky lady!

 

[EmmyReece]

as long as I don't turn into a complete and utter bridezilla

 

[EmmyReece]

I've already had a reply on facebook

Hi Emily I saw your email earlier but I can't answer from home (stupid o2!!)you can have an appointment when ever you want it's never too early for some, we have orders for 2013 and 2014. We don't show a lot of our designs on the web as most are designed and made especially for us, and I don't want to be copied!!We never dissappoint I can tell you that in all honesty x

So I have got back in touch asking for either the 2nd or 9th of July to go and try dresses on

 

[EmmyReece]

I've been thinking about hair accessories for the bridesmaids today, and I just can't seem to find what I want. I'd love them to have an alice band with like a blue gem design at the side, like a side tiara, but can I find any??? Can I heck

So what I was thinking of doing was buying something like this

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI...ory=45220&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619#ht_1795wt_989

And then something like this

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/33058840...WAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_651wt_907

And glueing them together, or is that a stupidly crazy idea??

 

[Tiff]

Aww hun, why wait so long to go try on dresses?

I say go soon, and then get whoever is with you to take pictures of each dress you like, that way you can have them as reference when you get home to really mull over. I am SO glad I did this, as the picture of me in the mermaid style dress (even though I didn't want a mermaid/trumpet style dress) was what made me decide to go back and change my dress... it was SO flattering to my figure!

I say (if its feasible) go and try on each different style of dress. That way you'll have an idea of what works on your body and what doesn't. I had my heart set on a dress with pick ups but when I tried them on it did nothing for me. If nothing else you can figure out which type of silhouette works for you and then go from there with styles of dresses.

Just my 2.5 cents...

 

[EmmyReece]

We're so busy over the next few months, london, christmas, turkey, plus Chris working that it's the only time really I'll have spare to get over there as it's such a long way to travel to this specialist store. I'd love to make a trip down there in January, but I wouldn't be able to afford it either, so this works out well that I should have enough time to save to pay for the whole dress (as long as it doesn't come to more than £1000)

Plus I'll have a stunning tan from only being back from turkey for 2 - 3 weeks

 

[EmmyReece]

Ahhhhh I'm so tempted to see if they have an appointment available in February or March on a monday for me to go and try dresses on It's all Tiff's fault ladies hugs: Tiff it was a brilliant idea)

I'll wait until they get back to me about the appointment in July and then ask if they have any monday appointments available in either of these two months just for me to get an idea and be more sure of what I like before going to pay the deposit

 

[EmmyReece]

Done some more wedding stuff - have sent an e-mail to a dj that was on the supplier list from a wedding fayre our venue held in march, and have asked for a quote That will be a £50 deposit if we go with them and then they need the balance before setting up on the day of the wedding

 

[Scamp]

It'll be lovely to see you try the dresses on

Mondays I work late, if no one else is on hol I'll be able to get it as a day off though. I can let you know as soon as you know a date

Yay for the DJ. I was going to ask if you had a playlist sorted but I guess it's a little early. You could still chose the oldies that you want playing? x

 

[EmmyReece]

I have a few songs chosen I keep adding to the list, I'm going to drive the dj mad I can see it coming

I'll let you know if I get a date for march, I should know early this week, and should also have the date for July too

 

[EmmyReece]

Ahhhhh what is it with me? I've sent the bridal store yet another e-mail asking if I can have an appointment in march as well as july so that I can get an idea of what sort of dresses they have in. I've also apologised to them for the second e-mail and explained that I get a tad over excited sometimes and have to get words down and sent. I just hope that I don't annoy them

 

[Lisa84]

Hey chickadee u ok? Saw ur FB status xx

 

[EmmyReece]

I feel like cack to be honest hun, a family member posting nasty little statuses about fat people I mean who does she think she is??? She knows me, I'm on her friends list, we're related, she knows what size I am. Yeah she's entitled to her opinion, but what about having a little respect for me? I don't post on there slagging off vegans or skinny people

I literally do not want her at the wedding, I'd be wondering all day what she was thinking, and as it's my one day to feel like a princess, I'm eliminating any chance of negativity

 

[Lisa84]

Doesnt sound like you need that kind of negativity in your life and especially not at your wedding.

I thought u put it perfectly on your status you are a pretty lady and will be a princess on your wedding day. You are a lovely person so dont let a nasty pasty like that bring u down xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

I was already feeling ugh from looking at pictures from when I went to tunisia in 2003, and her latest status just sent me over the edge.

It's going to be funny when I invite her brother and sister and not her
