Hi guys!
I've had a thread in this part of the forum before which I started nearly a year ago when I first started my plans but it's a bit all over the place so thought I'd start again!

We booked our date and venue last year and since then we've kind of been sitting on our plans... Now all of a sudden I've realised that there's 12 months to go and I better be getting my bum in gear! We're expecting baby #2 at the moment who is due Aug 15th, so while I'm on maternity I'm going to be doing some serious planning!!
Looking at putting deposits down at the end of Sept as me and OH both get big pays, so until then it's alot of researching for ideas.
So far I've got a venue, booked the registrar, and a magician! (Priorities!!)
So far I think the day will go like this:
2pm Ceremony
2:30pm Ceremony finishes onto photos
**Hour and half waiting time for guests**
4pm Wedding Breakfast
6:30pm Wedding Breakfast finishes and turn around time
***7pm - 9pm*** - Magician***
7:30pm Evening reception starts
The Venue
Stradey Park Hotel - £500 deposit paid... Balance approx £4000, that's for approx 60 day guests, and doubled for the evening...
Inc food and drinks packages, and a BBQ in the evening.

Theme Ideas
I'll be adding alot of my ideas to pinterest but my theme originally was a lemon colour, it's now been changed to lilac, black and white/ivory (depending on my dress)
