[LittleLady04]

Feeling good this morning, just been able to put more money into the Wedding fund

 

[Mummy May]

Ohh thats always a good feeling isn't it xx

 

[LittleLady04]

I seriously need to get back on track with my planning now Christmas is over.

Happy 2014 Ladies xxx

We're trying to decide on a design for our cake at the moment.

I went dress shopping yesterday and all 3 shops were closed hoping to go again at the end of the week.

I've found a gorgeous frame for our table plan, I need to get it ordered. We are making sweet trees for the tables in the evening, so I need to order all the balls and cocktail sticks. Then find somewhere to by the sweets.

 

[Mummy May]

You're probably best making an appt to go dress shopping hun Have you got a cash and carry for sweets maybe? xx

 

[LittleLady04]

I went dress shopping again yesterday and I bought my dress also got my veil and a tiara. I have chosen the bridesmaid dresses too! When I got home I found a pair of shoes in the BHS sale to wear on the day.

I ordered a lovely frame for our table plan, the sweet tree polystyrene balls, the little bows to glue onto the invitations and a few other bits.

We have finally found a photographer that's not too expensive and is available. We're meeting her next Wednesday to look at her portfolio and discuss what we'd like.

We have chosen our cake design too so I am waiting on a price for it from a friend that used to make wedding cakes.

I'll upload some pic's later

Your plans are coming on good, love the frame. I have just got my wedding folder out again tonight and am searching on flower girl dresses.

 

[LittleLady04]

Thanks FirstBean, I can't wait for the frame to arrive.

I forgot to upload pics of the two cakes we're down too. Gonna see what the prices are before we decide which one to go with.

[Mummy May]

Your frame is quite similar to mine except mine is a mirror which I will write on with chalk pen xx

 

[30mummyof1]

Love all of your finds, the flower girl dresses are similar to what I am thinking of

 

[LittleLady04]

Thanks 30mummyof1. The dresses are cute my oldest dd tried one on in the shop last week and she looked adorable.

My friend isn't able to make our wedding cake which is a shame as she's amazing!

I ordered 20 lilac pearlised balloons last night for £3.98 and got 10 free!! They're printed with "Just Married" Now to find some plain ivory ones to mix in with them.

I need to buy some sweets to make up the practice sweet tree. I googled "Good sweets to use on a sweet tree" last night and got lots of ideas.

Tried on my shoes when df went out last night, LOVE them

[Mummy May]

Has he not seen your shoes? My DF has seen mine lol! xx

 

[30mummyof1]

I'm trying to keep my shoes secret too! although not sure why really!

ahh bless, it will be lovely having all your children at your wedding. They will look so cute all dresses up. Do you think you will have anymore children once you are married?

 

[LittleLady04]

I'm not showing df my shoes he's not going to see anything of my outfit till the day! Haha, I took my shoes to my Nan's house today to keep them there till I need to wear them in.

I'm so pleased our lo's will get to share in our special day with us. Alfie will be our pageboy No, I don't plan on having anymore children. I'm complete now

I have to go for a Colposcopy on Friday cus I had abnormal changes on my most recent smear. The worry of this has made me want to just enjoy our children.

[30mummyof1]

Ahh fair enough, that would be scary.hope there's nothing to worry about

 

[LittleLady04]

Thanks hun. I'm so worried, I kinda just want to not go, bury my head in the sand and pretend everything is fine. But that's obviously irresponsible and not going to solve anything can't wait for it to be over. The wedding planning is helping me keep my mind off it.

I might make a sweet tree tonight for fun lol xxx

 

[30mummyof1]

Yeah, i'd probably be the same hun. Maybe have something lined up to look forward to at the end of the day, takeaway, wine, chocs etc.?

Haven't heard of a sweet tree before, I shall have to google!

 

[30mummyof1]

Have just googled they are cool! are you having them as centrepieces or on a sweet table?

 

[LittleLady04]

We're gonna have them as the centre pieces for the evening. I've put them away for now, gonna concentrate on getting the invitations finished and sent before I practice making one.

Been going through the guest list again and already had to add a few extra to the day and a few extra to the evening, grrr!
