Good luck! I was a bit nervous as it’s so hard to tell from the website, but they were all gorgeous! I had the satin ones in a mix of four colours, I got the fabric swatches beforehand and they exactly matched them. The dresses do come really long so unless your bridesmaids are tall I’d defo plan for at least turn ups for alterationsThank you that’s helpful
So good to hear a review from someoneGood luck! I was a bit nervous as it’s so hard to tell from the website, but they were all gorgeous!

They aren't the tallest girls but my seamstress has said she will be able to take them up if need be. I think I have gone for one of the other materials but I actually can't remember which one! I wish I'd gone for satin and that was my original plan but when I went through the pictures of one of the other materials I saw the exact colour I was picking on a group of girls and really just loved it so fingers crossed. I will post on here my thoughts when they arrived 
What kind of wedding shoe vibe are you all thinking for your big day? I’ve got a pair of white crocs for later in the day but I can’t decide for my actual shoes! I was thinking Louboutin Jane Mules but I don’t know if that’s a bit frivolous
I bought BNWT flat rose gold glitter sandals from Next on Vinted. I’m not really a “shoe person” and I pretty much never wear heels so I knew I wanted to wear flats. I don’t like the “converse with a wedding dress” look, so I just looked for nice sandals on Vinted. My dress has blush hues and lots of glitter/sparkles so the shoes match
That sounds lovely! I hate heels too so I was looking for a block heel so it’s hopefully easier to walk in. Vinted is a good shout I’m gonna have a browse
I have long thick hair, I’d suggest getting some layers put in to take some weight out of the hair! My hair holds a curl well but it holds it even better when some of the weight has gone xHow’s everyone having their hair for their wedding? I had my hair trial last week and have to have a bun I think as my hair won’t hold curls long so can’t wear it down even though I’d have preferred to. I do have quite long hair and it’s super thick and I just feel like my bun was huge and looked stupid, but not sure what else to do other than cut my hair
I got some off Asos in their sale. I never wear heels so I got some comfortable ones with a stretch strap and a block heel, they were like £30. Although I do love them I’ll be taking them off as soon as my ceremony/pics are over and putting on some flip flops so I didn’t want to go too crazy
I got a nice block heel sandal from Asos too. Didn’t want to spend loads as they were hidden for 95% of the day 
I got some custom embroidered white converse. Had my bouquet colours, two cats, married name and wedding date all embroidered onto them. I’m obsessed and can’t wait to wear!
I got some lovely mid block heels from ASOS, and they look stunning, not too high so I think they will be perfect - also got some little flip flop type sandals from Quiz with a little bit of a platform for the evening. Been wearing them around the house to break them in a little as flip flops between the tow always hurt me but these have been brilliant and so comfy!
I can still toe I promise, not sure why I have spelt it tow
I’ve got mine from the rainbow club, super comfy they have loads of different styles & afterwards you can get them dyed so they’re a more wearable colour. I got mine in the sale for around £30!
What little details is everyone doing to add something to their day? Interested to see if anyone’s got any ideas I could steal haha.
The bits we have so far are:
Wedding newspapers
Cake toppers of our dog and our parents dogs
Our dog as our ring bearer
A cake spiral decorated in flowers
Pick and mix bags with our dog on them
A magician
A live guest illustrator

When we’re asking people to RSVP, we’re asking them for a song suggestion and depending on the song they pick, we’re either going to play it during the wedding breakfast or the party in the evening. Initially I thought it would be during the party only, but I really don’t like some of the songs so wedding breakfast background music it is
We are having the following
Pianist for ceremony
DJ for evening
little suitcases, with sweets in them. each suitcase will have a little hand written personalised tag thanking that person.
photobooth - i know they get done to the death but i cant wait for the guest book.
disposable camera for each table
a cake topper of our little cat, and a globe along with our surname
our surname in a neon sign for our cake back drop - not to everyones taste but my partner has a bar in the garden so he is going to stick it in there after.
a drinks wall on arrival - this is included in our reception package by our venue
drink stirrers with our cat on them - my little sister is quite artsy and she done them
a guest illustrator
foam glowsticks & our cats face on a stick for the dancefloor lol
basket of flip flops
baskets in both men/womans toilets with thinks like deodorant, plasters, rennies
little personalised kids activity packs - only 5kids coming, immediate family so just thought they might help keep them occupied
a little memorial corner just with some photos of loved ones that cant be with us.
probably seems like too much but we love a good knees up but i just want to have something for everyone. i actually cancelled a 360 camera because my partner said thats it

I think it seems like you’ve sorted everything! One thing I did see which isn’t a concern for me as I’m staying in the venue the night before is people saying they didn’t take clothes to wear home. So a woman said she had to wear her wedding dress home as she got ready at home then had a car to the venue and stayed overnight or something
Yes haha I am exact same as you! People keep asking me am I excited and I do this faceMine is 3 weeks Saturday and I’m the same. I’ve gone from it being all I talk about to not talking about it unless I have to because the thought is freaking me out now

- really starting to freak out too. I think the worst bit for me is the idea of walking down the aisle and all eyes on me as I'm quite shy and hate the attention on me.Ah I'm ok for that too as I'm staying in our venue the night before and then for another 2 nights.. but I am a bit worried of how I'm going to get out of the venue and into the car without any of the guests seeing me... will be like a top secret mission
Good Luck lovely! Not long.. I feel like these last couple of weeks will fly in and I want them to slow down so much, Feb has been the quickest month of my life.
Hahah I know! People in work are constantly like “ooh not long now” and I’m like umm yeahYes haha I am exact same as you! People keep asking me am I excited and I do this face

I’ve got my final dress fitting tomorrow and can’t believe the next time I put my dress on will be my wedding day!Have you got a coordinator to help? Mine and my photographer are going to make sure no one sees me when we try to do a first touch so hoping that goes well!
I know it is going so fast! It’s my hen do on Saturday and then I can’t believe it’s only two weekends before it! I hope it all goes well for you too
