My hair stylist has let me down with 4 weeks to go 😭
Oh no😭 sounds silly, but a hair & makeup artist is one of the most important things for me. I’m rubbish at hair & makeup and so is everyone around me! I need someone to do my hair & makeup otherwise it would all go wrong!
Hope you get something sorted!
 
Oh no bless you ☹ is it worth getting back in contact in case they’ve had cancellations? Could you put something on Facebook or Instagram for recommendations? If you can’t find any maybe you and your bridesmaids could practice so they know what you are going for and can help on the day?
Ah that’s ok thank you 😗 x
Most of the responses were that they were away rather than booked, but I’ve tried the ones who were busy again.

It’s just me, I don’t have any bridesmaids (we only have 6 guests) but it was so important for me. We’re not getting married locally so I’ve posted on a few groups but no luck so far…
 
Ah ok, that sounds like a lovely intimate wedding! If you can’t find someone at least you have a little bit of time to practice (I know not ideal) but there are YouTube videos for everything nowadays and hopefully with a few tries you’ll get the hang of something you are happy with 🥰 let us know how you get on!
 
Anyone got any tips for budget bouquets / buttonholes?
I’m using a lady I found on Facebook, she does artificial flowers and has some amazing packages! I’m paying £180 for bridal bouquet, 3 bridesmaid bouquets, grooms buttonhole, 5 buttonholes, 2 corsages, flower girl wand and a large top table arrangement!

Whats her page? (Dunno if this is allowed?)
 
We’re having 4 guests 🤣 we both come from huge families but I refuse to share my day with people I don’t really care about. Then we’re having about 40 or so to a party a few days later. If the people you want there are coming that’s all that matters. Those who don’t come, maybe aren’t that important.
This is the kind of wedding I want! However... my partner gets so worried about offending people by not inviting them. I had to tell him he's not obliged to invite his whole work. I'm desperate to get on with planning!

Nor sure if it’s allowed either! But it’s Bespoke Bouquet Boutique! I think she has changed her packages and prices for the new year as I booked last year but they are still good prices!

It does help that our venue can only take 8 for the ceremony and that we are very private people. And then that we have had so many family arguments helps 😅
 
There’s been an incident at my venue (less than 6 weeks to go) and so it looks like our day will be cancelled 😭 We we’re due to go on honeymoon right after too so now need to begin the logistical nightmare of finding another venue and setting a new date. Our fertility treatment was due to start post-honeymoon too so I’ve spent the day crying my eyes out 😭

Don’t forget Ul need to give notice again so I would get that sorted tomoro and try book in two weeks time which allows for the 28 days and gives you two weeks to try find another venue

Thank you x

We can’t get another appointment with our local registry office within the next 2 weeks! We haven’t been able to find a venue yet either so our only option would be a humanist ceremony/non legal marriage if by some miracle we find somewhere else 😭 What a day!

I’m so sorry. I’m just watching the news (north west tonight) and it’s saying about a fire at a wedding venue… assume this is yours? Devastating. I wonder if any venues nearby might step in to help couples? You never know, I’m sure other venues might want to help as they know the impact it will have on suppliers and couples….

Purchased my flowers through the above recommendation! Thank you! I didn't get quite as good a deal but still fantastic!

I don't get married until March 2023 but feel like I have a lot sorted! Probably missing loads

I’m so glad! I thought hers looked really good and such a good price! My Maid of honour paid £2000 for her flowers I thought it’s absolutely ridiculous to pay so much especially for real flowers that won’t last! Atleast with artificial you can either keep them or sell them on!

That's mental. I could never! I managed to get bridal bouquet, 4x bridesmaid bouquets, 6x buttonholes for £190 including p&p!

That’s insane

I’m paying £220 for a bouquet, 3x buttonholes, cake decoration and foliage table centrepiece!

I'm completely willing to spend crazy money on flowers as I love them 😅 I'll cut back on other areas then to make it work.
