We are getting married next July, it's really early days yet but I have a few ideas.
We have booked the church which is the church we go to, so we will probs get a decent discount on that, not gonna go all out on flowers, the church has vases and stuff and will just put some tea lights round the windowsills and such.
I am going for a vinatge theme and the colour red, i'm gonna ask my mates b/f to drive me in his VW camper, hopefully he still has it, I haven't spoke to her in a while but her sister is one of my bridesmaids so hopefully that will be doable, otherwise I will go in her old type beetle.
Too early for dresses as i'm looking to loose a bit of weight first but will probably get one of these 'shop soiled' or whatever at a discount sale, I found this one for e.g.

akita girl - I love Ian Stuart dresses, I have been looking obviously and they are lush, what size are you you can sell me it after yours
For our 'aftershow' as one of my bridesmaids termed it
we are going to his home town, which is a seaside town, so we will get some good pics on the beach hopefully and the reception venue is yet to be decided but the average prices round there are not too bad as it's not a particularly popular place to stay.
My big thing is the photographer, I would like more than the bog standard shots and would prefer to spend the money on a decent photographer than other things, but have thought about just getting a disk and printing them myself rather than a package with prints and albums as that's cheaper too.
I like the horseshoe idea I have actually written that in my scrap book!
Akita girl - those flowers are lush and would go sooo well with my 'vintage' theme!
My good friend is also a make up/beauty artist, so that's sorted and she also makes AWESOME bespoke wedding cakes, so that's that sorted too! AND she also does handmade cards so she will probably do the invites too, although i'm quite thinking i'd like to do them, perhaps she can do a few and show me, I don't know yet but i'm seeing her next week.
My fiance is a guitarist in a really good band, so they are going to play and I play a bit too, as does one of my bridesmaids, so we are going to get up and do something and my fiances dad is also a really good guitarist so he's gonna do some stuff, music sorted for free AND extra fun!
And only the elite for the wedding breakfast, close family and friends and then everyone for the night do and knees up.
Soooooooooo exciting!
