More dresses... and a cake!

Going dress shopping again next Thursday (30th April). Although I really love two of the dresses I saw before, I think it's good to know what else is out there. But, I am female, so I will no doubt end up at the first shop I went in :)

We have also booked a cake lady and know exactly which one we're having. Thanks Tracey!

More shopping

Found a couple more dress shops to visit. I've realised that I need to order my dress by the middle of May. I'm setting myself a goal - May 15th. That gives me three and a half weeks to shop around, find 'the one' (dress not man) and order it. Then it's the bridesmaids turn.... Hahahahaha!!!

It's official....

The date for our wedding can now be confirmed as November 21st 2009. Woo hoo! Now we have a date, everything will be alot easier to organise. I better get moving.

The first whiff of a dress....

Looking at dresses today was fantastic. Charlotte (one of my bridesmaids) and my Mum were a great help. There were two dresses that I really loved but I'm going to look at a few other places first, before I make any decisions.

We also had a gander at a bridesmaids dress that I like the look of. The colour is lovely and I really think it'll suit everyone. Just need to get the girls together so we can try some on. So much to sort out!

The room we stayed in at the Swan Hotel. It's a lot bigger than it looks, with a huge bathroom behind me.The view out of our window. The last image shows the Swan Hotel's gardens and the image before shows the gardens and Trout farm behind them.

Dresses

Mum and I (and possibly my bridesmaids, if I get around to asking them) are going dress shopping on Friday! Ah! I can't wait! Going to go to The Wedding Centre in Marlow and see what they have there. Might even look at some bridesmaids dresses too. We've got a colour in mind for them so will be interesting to see if it suits the bridesmaids.

Keeping you all updated

I've decided that for now, this blog will be a great way to keep everyone in the loop about our upcoming wedding. So, first I'll fill you in with what we already know. Our venue is the Swan Hotel in Bibury. It's gorgeous and in a lovely, peaceful village at the edge of the Cotswolds. We just need to confirm a date....

Then there are the rings! We've got them sorted too (from Smooch). Very exciting! And Mark is of course doing the photography :)

So that leaves absolutely everything else. I can't wait to start dress shopping but I do have some ideas. Will be interesting to see if the final outfit is anything like what I imagined. I need to round up my bridesmaids and hit the shops!

My final thought goes to Gem - thanks for the wonderful (and very useful) wedding planner. Love it!
