Lozzys wedding journal.

[lozzy21]

Well i thought id start a journal to keep all my online finds in one place.

For any one that doest know me im Laura and iv been with my Fiance Andrew for 6 years. We have a 18 months old daughter called Niamh who is an angel and a monkey all in one. We got engaged on the 23rd of March 2012.

This is my ring,I chose it my self.https://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad148/lozzy22minx/IMG_1627.jpg

Were hoping to get married in september 2014 and have a budget of about 8 or 9k.

I would love a dress made by them but unless our parents decide to help us out big time there is no way we could afford one

Instead i will probably get something like this.

This corset

and a skirt like this

[xlouloux]

That dress is stunning! Were you thinking of having the corset and skirt in the colours of the dress? I can just imagine the pictures, especially on the evening..

 

[lozzy21]

I think I'm going to go for a white and blue, not sure how though.

 

[Jemma_x]

Congratulations, those dresses are amazing

 

[KittieB]

I love this dress for the flower girls. Niamh will be 3/4 and Andrews sister will be7/8, thats not to old for a flower girl is it? The style of bridesmaid dress i want would be inappropriate and to old for a 8 year old. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IVORY-PL...865&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=270933891966&

I want this style for the bridesmaids, i think it would work for different body shapes. Just not that price or in pink! https://www.fairygothmother.co.uk/86-la1070.htm

Love the plans so far Lozzy! The dresses are gorgeous- the flowergirl one is really cute, and the fork buffet sounds delish!!

[lozzy21]

The venue may change, depending on if our parents contribute, iv allready told my mam shes getting my flowers My theory is to start to plan on what we can save and then can look at upgrading if we get help towards it. The problem we have here is its 4* hotels or function rooms in social clubs, there is hardly anything inbetween.

 

[DonnaBallona]

Its a pain isnt it. and also feels sometimes like youre cutting off your nose to spite your face- If you choose a cheaper venue (social club) then you have to pay for outside caterers or do the food yourself which can be mega money-OR you go for the 4 star hotel who charge a bomb for food anyway!

DOH!

 

[lozzy21]

Yep, we were looking at a local water sports centre which you have to arrange your own catering and decor wise is a blank canvas but by the time you pay to get it done nicely it will end up costing just as much as the "posher" places. Thats why i quite like where we are thinking of, its a function room at the back of a pub but they do the food at reasonable prices and its done out nice inside so you will only need to dress the tables.

 

[Lauren25]

Stalking!
Loving all your ideas so far
I agree with setting your stuff around what you can save/afford that way like you said you can upgrade if you get extra money but you won't be expecting it as your budget will be planned out!

Are you still sticking with September 2014?

 

[laura&faith]

The flower girl wand is lovely I ordered it for my dd she looks so cute holding it

 

[lozzy21]
