Gorgeous dress Autumn Rose....I think I posted mine in my journal but here it is again. I can't believe there's only 81 days until the wedding! I'm basically done all of my planning. Just waiting for the day!

I am not in wtt but thought I would tell you about my wedding. We started organising it just 7 weeks before, wanted really informal as I was 19 and didnt like the idea of formal and didnt wanna spend much money, so we had the wedding in the registry office and a bbq at my parents house.

My dress was £50 from Monsoon in the sale
Matt's suit was £100 from Debenhams
Morgans (son) little suit £20 (he was 14 weeks)
Bridesmaid dress £40 in sale from Debenhams
Wedding license fees £42 for the both of us
Silk bouquet for me, and bridesmaid, plus buttonholes £35
Hiring the registry office £40
Invitations for wedding x 50 £15 (I made them from scratch)
Invitations for BBQ after x 50 £15
Food (we did a bbq, buffet and desert for 100 people) £150
Drink £150 (all brought) abroad so much cheaper
Decorations £30
Cake free as MIL made it as she is semi professional
Favours £30 (I made them)

So wedding cost £717

I did my make up myself, as well as my hair. The cake had red flowers as the topper of each tier, so curled my hair and fixed a matching flower in to my hair.

I'm hopefully getting married next April. Our budget is roughly £5-10 thousand but that doesn't include stuff like the cake which will be free as mil2b's making it. Quite stressed about it all atm as my mum's being a little bit of a cow (just after she and my dad offered to put up £5000 for it ) and I've got my dissertation and finals to worry about too!

Best advice I have for people who want to save money on their wedding is to ask all your family and friends what their skills are- we're having the cake, my dress, the photography, the videos, the buffet, and the entertainment provided by family and friends for reduced or no cost!!

I can't wait!!!!

Tasha that sounds like the perfect wedding for me.. I'm not into the big formal wedding either..but I'm having to comromise and pay out a bit more on a hall, food and drink to keep everyone happy.

tbh I haven't done much thinking about the wedding in the last few weeks... My mum has put a big downer on the whole thing and my enthusiasm for it has dropped completely. Such a shame because I really want to enjoy this organising part of it all but it is so hard when everything i organise is wrong in my mum's eyes. Even when i have changed things to make her happy she makes a point of reminding me (and everyone she talks to) that she didn't like it to begin with!

So now I am doing alot of the planning by myself and tbh it's getting a bit lonely, lol!

Flowers is the one thing i haven't really thought about... silly i know.. i think my dressmaker makes silk bouquets so I will prob go for a small bouquet for me and a single silk flower for each of my bridesmaids. Other than that most things are planned... just need to order the rings and suits.

Winter Belle, sorry your finding it lonely, do you have a good friend who would help with the details but not too pushy? Remember its your day and you should be happy.

I did the registry office and BBQ cos I would of just spent the day really uncomfortable otherwise
