Fab shoes! No idea who designed them but hopefully you'll have some joy with the magazine editors! :)

Love your ideas for invites too!!

We did a similar thing to you...after our engagement holiday (in 2007) we got everyone together and asked if they'd like to come. At the time everyone said yes but as it got closer to the time people dopped out (things like couples splitting up, our wedding isnt during school holidays so some of the kids have exams etc so they cant come) But we've got a big at home reception planned for May so everyone that couldnt make the wedding can come to that! :)

In response to your question re when to send out invites...we sent DVD save the datesout in Nov 2009 and then sent out our actual invites in June 2010 (but by then we knew exactly who was going so we only sent invites to the actual people coming!) But I think if you're not planning on doing save the dates then sending invites this May for next May is a good idea! :thumbsup2
 
Let me know what you think... FLOWERS... :flower3: and Center pieces and bridesmaids dresses!!! :)

Okay, love the BM dresses. I'm looking at something similar for my girls! :dance3:

Your dress is BREATHTAKING! :cloud9: Who is it by? I'm in LOVE with it.

Can't wait to see more!
 
Hi lilsqueakrr,

Thanks! The BM dresses are From the Dessy Collection! Their colour swatches are beautiful loads of colours! and you can get them in the US and UK!

My dress is... Madeline Gardner New York 2011 dress - 36001! They do it in white and pink like in the picture. Or... mine is Ivory and Ivory... which is a little more understated beauty! :) I love it... I think you can tell when its your dress because... you stroke it and cry!:lmao: lol all at the same time!

Have you found your dress yet? Origionally I wanted something floaty and straight to the floor... but felt like I was going to bed whenever I tried them on... and then I went bigger and bigger... and found this little baby! :wizard:

I really recommend you look at MGNY collection! she also makes the Mori lee dresses for BM!

Any way... going to read your PJ now...

:hug:

It's gorgeous! I'm gunna have to check it out!
I have my dress yes, just recently bought it too! I originally wanted the big fluffy ballgown but felt like everything was waaayy too generic for me. I'm over the pick ups they have on ballgowns and stuff? Then I started trying on more of a drop waist or the fit n flare gowns and fell in love with my dress. We're adding crinolin under it too make it fluffier too! More of a ballgown I guess I'd say. :rotfl:
But I'm kinda regretting not getting a straight up ballgown? But like I said I never found anything I liked, so now I'm a bit confused.:confused3
 

Hi All,

Need your advice! I saw somewhere in a magazine a brilliant idea!!!!

On each of the wedding tables at the reception a story about the couple! So I have put together a few stories to put in pretty frames on the tables... let me know about the stories, which ones are good and bad etc....

:3dglasses Is it a bit geeky!? My sister thought it was a bit of a lame idea?! but then she is 19!


Our First meal
‘THE DURHAM OX’
April, 2007
I remember being really nervous and thinking seriously about ordering the neatest and easiest food! (Definitely NO Spare Ribs) It was a lovely romantic evening!




Our First Paint Balling
‘CENTRE PARCS’

Greg’s Birthday Oct 9th 2008
I had booked a surprise weekend at Centre Parcs! Joint Spa treatments and Paint Balling! Greg loved it, he could have been ‘Saving Private Ryan’ for all I knew! After the screams (from me) and paint had been washed away we sat on the bed and compared our battle wounds!





Our First Argument
‘SAUSAGES’
Eborne Croft, Feb 2008
We had been living together for about 3 weeks and I had been playing Mary good wife! Sandwiches for work, making the bed, cooking the dinners... Until one Saturday morning, I tried cooking him a sausage batch for brekkie, who else knew ‘Richmond Sausages’ had a pink hew to them!? Greg thought I was going to give him food poisoning!



Our First Holiday
‘ORLANDO, FLORIDA’

Oct Half Term 2007
Greg and I had both been to America before, but it was so much more magical going together! We had a fantastic time Sea World, Disney and Universal! We even swam with Dolphins and Stingrays at Discovery Cove. Unfortunately, the year before saw Steve Irwin killed by Stingrays this meant that Greg would jump and flail about whenever they came close!




Our First Italian Trip
‘VENICE’

Dec 26th 2008
Christmas day this year brought out Greg’s romantic side; to my surprise he had booked a short break to Venice! A lovely hotel near St Marks Square! We visited St Mark’s Basilica, walked across The Rialto Bridge and had an extremely cold Gondola tour, complete with tartan blanket and singing ‘Gondolier’ (Man who steers)





Graduation Present
‘NEW YORK - FLORIDA’
July 27th 2010
Checking in to Heathrow was an experience on its own! Greg had organised everything! All I had to do was follow instructions. Until I clocked the JFK stickers on the bags! I asked Greg what they were for and he replied ‘Sometimes they change the codes’ I actually believed him! Sitting in the Lounge at Heathrow after passing all the clues! We were tucking into breakfast rolls filming each other on our new camera! When the camera was rolling he told me we were going to New York and Happy Graduation!



Our Engagement
‘NEW YORK’
July 28th 2010
We were up early because of the jet lag. Fed and dressed ready to be tourists by about 7:30am! Greg was on a mission! We got a yellow cab to Central Park armed with the new video camera! We took a leisurely walk; while I recorded everything we went passed; Strawberry Fields, The Zoo, then lastly the Lake and the Boat House. Where he took the little black box out of his pocket!!!!!




Our First Pet
‘SEBASTIAN’
July 7th 2008
As some of you may know we had little luck in the beginning finding the right kitty! Anyway, I had phoned around in the morning to see where had British Blue kittens for sale, we were in Luck! I spoke with a man from Birmingham, and he told me that he had one kitten left who had been chosen but never picked up by his new owners. They had until 3pm to collect him that day! Well, we beat them to it! Sebastian drove back with me and my friend (Harps) to see his new home! Even though I talked Greg into this one... nothing could prepare us for the whirl wind that is Sebastian!

Our First Ski Trip
‘ANDORRA’

Feb 2010
After our mammoth travelling expedition myself, Greg, and the two Chris’s arrived in snowy Andorra! It was my first time skiing and will probably be my last! All the boys were so good! And at the beginning I was too, however...picture Bridget Jones with her ungraceful dismount coupled with countless trips and falls! On our return to the UK it’s safe to say we needed another holiday to recover!



My Friend Helen’s wedding
‘THE MARRIOTT’
Aug 2008
Our first Reception invite as a couple! The reception was at a lovely social club a little drive away from our hotel. There was a few of us that knew each other so we all shared a taxi, this gave Greg and Ben (My other friend’s partner) chance to chat about golf and bond! Well the night went on; we watched the first dance, had a boogie ourselves and shared another taxi back to our hotel to carry on the festivities. After many more shots and an encounter with Dionne Warwick, we went off to bed! Only for Greg to announce that he was going for a walk (3:00am)! He came back a little worse for wear and decided a shower would make him feel better! Luckily, I negotiated leaving the bathroom door open, so I could see if he was okay. Just as I was about to nod off (again) I heard the shower curtain ‘ping, ping, ping’ he had managed to slip and catch himself in the curtain creating a make shift hammock! An image that will stay with me for a long time!!!!



Let me know what you think!
 
I love that idea! We're actually doing something kind of similar for our at home reception except ours will be memories from the wedding day. We found some white double sided photo frames at Ikea so on one side we'll have a photo from the wedding and on the other side a memory to go with it. We're actually planning on giving them out as gifts aswell! I think your stories are great and something that will make people smile when they read them! :goodvibes
 
Hi all,

Just doing some research on wedding make up! What do you all think about eye lash extentions? And what do you think about someone else doing your make up on the big day!?
 
Hiya, just looked through your journal and its all looking great

I especially love your dress, its absolutely gorgeous :love: and your idea for your reception tables is genius, it adds such a nice personal touch to things

Looking forward to seeing more of your ideas
 
Hey I followed you over from mine. Your ideas look great and congratz on the engagement:thumbsup2. Your flower ideas are very elegant and I love that bridesmaid dress :). That's a great idea for table names. Everything looks great can't wait to hear more :)
 
LOVE the dress, and I really love the "firsts" idea ... I may have to borrow it!!! :cool1:
 
Followed you over from my PJ...

I love your flowers. They're pretty similar to mine, so I must say that you picked a good color! :thumbsup2

The country club looks beautiful. I think your dress is unique and very elegant. I tried on a big ballgown, and being so short, I looked hilarious. I also like the style for your bridesmaids. Having looked through the Dessy dresses a million times for my girls, I love that color!

I look forward to seeing more updates as you post them. :goodvibes
 
Ohhhhh... Forgot to say... for all those orlando brides, have a look at this website for a list of vendors in the area...

www.mywedding.com REALLY GOOD! :thumbsup2

We are currently working with a number of different stationeers looking for something exciting to invite our guests!!!!

http://www.dogwoodblossomstationery.com/ working with Denise at the moment in the US...

and Garden Studio Crafts in the UK...

Looking for something REALLY special... Greg likes a boarding pass Idea from http://www.sproulliedesigns.com/index2.php#/home/

All are really good suggestions for destination weddings! When is everyone else sending out invites, We were thinking May this year for May next year... were not doing save the dates you see!!! I dont think you forget the date of a wedding if you have to attend via plane!

XXX

I know you said you weren't going to send out a STD, but since Greg likes the boarding pass...maybe you could send it out as an STD with a preliminary RSVP. Then send out the invites 3-6 months in advance.
 
Just joining in!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the flowers. :thumbsup2
& your dress/ bridesmaid dresses are gorgeous.
 
Thanks guys, I don't really have any more updates! Well... Only that the shoes I was looking for... Can u believe it... Are Christian louiboutens and a wopping 895 dollars?!

Gutted!!!!:mad:
 
The girls are coming with me to try on dresses tonight... oooh I hope they both like the same ones! That would help alot!

Just a question - How do I upload photos that are not already on the internet?! So I can show you the dresses!? XX
