Beginner April 2018

Planning and all that jazz :-)

MetalBride, 4 of February of 2017 at 10:13 Posted on Planning 0 27

So OH and I had a budget crisis that nearly left us without a wedding, this looks like we're sorted now but we've got to tail things back a bit for safety's sake. Dream wedding out of the window so we were back to square one, I very nearly gave up and said forget it, it was just another thing that seemed to just get in the way. However I'm now in a much more positive mind set and have now got a date and have nearly got both venues secured for April next year. Much different to my original plans but still great and my mum is happier about it all too. :-) I also bought a new dress! :-P

    The venues look great! You can still have a dream wedding on a budget. Money does not create a dream wedding, love does.

    Good for you, I think when you start planning you can get carried away, I know having to plan two weddings for my children ?

    I agree as my wedding budget was very limited. Your reception looks amazing. Just add candles/perfect. X

    Most of my accessories will be hand made by a family member or friend, I'm having a crochet garter, a headpiece made by my grandfather, bouquet by my grandmother my mum and dad are making a jacket (dad's cutting it out) and my sister is making a necklace and my cake.

    Wow your dress is absolutely gorgeous! And your venues are beautiful, there will look so cosy with lots of candle light. I'm sure you will have such a perfect day, you don't need a big budget. It's really just all about you making that commitment to each other. Good luck with the planning.

    Oh wow, those photos of venues are gorgeous, and I agree with PP's about the candles. That dress really suits your figure and the colour is really nice.

    Also YAY for getting back on track and making it all work, hope you can get back to enjoying the planning again.

    Thanks everyone, red really boosts my confidence, I don't feel good in whites and ivories, I tried, but it wasn't working at all! :-) I've asked the venue not to decorate as I want to do it myself, going for a black and red gothic vibe, hopefully!

    Quick update, just got the shock of my life, my mum went and paid for the wedding venue!! The whole ceremony... I very nearly thought I was going to die of shock! I can't quite believe it, I must buy her a kick ass mother's day gift this year.

    I also have booked the registrar. :-)

    Because I can't get a veil in a colour to match my dress in going to try and make it! Using this blog. http://www.chicaandjo.com/2008/04/08/make-your-own-wedding-veil/ I'll keep you posted on the results!
