Welcome Jemma and Claire!

Gem, yes I need to decide colours then hoping to get invites out Jan ish? That too early?

Just sending queries now about venue and food etc.....

Getting quotes on cars and chair covers

Then need to sort photos

Dress shopping in Nov hopefully when I shift another 10 pounds....

Wanting to hire some candlebras too for the day time.

I need a wedding planner..................... stress!!!!

 

[jms895]

Just wrote half a guest list and now attempting meal seating plan.... wish me luck!! Haha

Also just fired off a load of emails for table decs, cars, venue etc ..... We have a little progress!

We are having candelabras for centre pieces. Try and find a supplier that does chair covers & centre pieces hun thats what we have done and then it takes a bit of the strees away and makes it alittle bit cheaper xxx

 

[Gwizz]

Keep checking ebay for table decs, candelabras, candles etc .. never know. I keep looking for sweetie jars for a 'sweet table' im thinking of having. Been offered oversized babycham style glasses if i want them from a friend - too many ideas lol!

Jan ok for invites then people can book weekend off as hol in perfect time hehe u having save the date cards??

x

 

[claire-lou]

I agree January a good time so people can get things booked off and sorted

 

[jms895]

Not sure about save the date cards, prob just invites. Been looking at cakes today

Got loads of ideas! OH likes round, I like round or square. Maybe 3 tier.

Cars hunt not going so well. The one I wanted is booked. Another co offering me too but its expensive! Not sure what to do!

 

[Jemma_x]

What car is it you want? I know your not far from me well its not miles and miles anyway so have you thought about looking at companys abit further away to see what they charge

 

[Gwizz]

Try negotiate a cheaper price for it? They can only say no (or yes!)

yummmmmm cakes!

 

[Lisa84]

^^ good point i would definately say to haggle. I didn't even think about haggling and then decided to give it a go when getting the chair covers and got loads of stuff thrown in for free xx

 

[jms895]

Thanks ladies

Jemma, any ideas/recommendations? xx

Been discussing menus today and venue have agreed to offer 3 options instread of 2 after badgering them as was not happy

Set wedding dress shopping date to 22nd Nov! Really need to get back on the diet and would love to lose another 7 pound by then!

Am looking for cakes next!

 

[Gwizz]

...big choc one!!!!!!!!

 

[jms895]

I agree NOMNOM

 

[MummyCat]

Sorry I'm late to the party.... I blame my MIL

BUT... love your ideas so far hun! The dresses are gorgeous and think you'll look fab in any of them!!

Colour schemes... I was thinking perhaps try get an idea of the types of flowers you'd be able to use with each different theme and see if that might help you eliminate a colour that doesn't work as well?? Just a thought!

I was just looking at your idea for cars... they're GORGEOUS! hope you get one you like...for a price you like!

Good luck looking for cakes

 

[jms895]

Thanks hun! Yay cant wait for you to photograph the wedding and also come up to meet us

Love pink/peach roses and peonies so am going towards the champagne, peach, antique rose colour dresses now KEEP CHANGING MY MIND. But if I have a white dress, may have purple still. Obv purtplewould clash if I had the coffee/champagne dress so it all depends on that

 

[MummyCat]

THRILLED to bits to be your photographer!

I'd wait a little until you're more sure of your dress then and then work on the colour scheme. But either sound gorgeous and would work well! It doesn't need to be decided just yet so don't stress as it'll all fall into place once you've decided on one of those gorgeous dresses which will hopefully be in a month or two!

Are you planning on sending out save the dates? or are you giving overseas family a verbal heads up of the date? We did save the dates about 9/10 months before the wedding as it gave people a chance to sort out air fares for those travelling from here and the US to South Africa for the wedding!
