Well the ones I want are on ebay so I'd be getting the real thing (I hope!) for a good bit cheaper. They are about £400, which isn't bad at all.

if you are buying from ebay-ask to see pics of your dress-dont let them fob u off with stock photos. Lots of brides have fallen into this trap-the seller states it is a new dress-what actually arrives is something that has clearly been used.

Lorny - our wedding is costing about £200 all in all, it can be done cheaply

Wow! I don't think thats possible here, but I think we're having registry office + party after

That's very impressive indeed I do understand a bit on how you cut the costs, but still, very impressive!

Our wedding is now at a total of 4k euro's. The location where we're going to have our reception/party/dinner is also around 4k euro's for the evening, so our total wil be around 8k after we said ' yes I do '. Expensive words

I actually asked her to take pictures of the dress and she did, including the tags etc. Was a bit worried when she didn't have any pictures of the actual dress but she seemed to understand and put up 6 more pictures =)

Does anyone know where you can get medieval style wedding gowns that aren't tacky or velvet?

[ScarletLady]

Have you looked on fairygothmother??

[ShadowThrone]

Yep keeping my options open at the mo and looking at loads of different ones!

[ScarletLady]

Thought you probably would have but didn't hurt to mention

I had a stress attack earlier as my blank invites came and they got all bent in the post...I'm going to have to iron them

[ViolentDelights]

Can anyone suggest a good site that sells lolita outfits. I want my bridesmaids to all be in lolita dresses but so far I havent come up with anything I like.

[Lorny]

You need A LOT of money for, (like £3000) but wowwee, the woman makes OOAK dresses/separates TO F'IN DIE FOR.

If you get one, can I come to the wedding & stroke you

apologies for the massive pic, but those that don't click on uptight clothing link NEED to see!!!!

[ShadowThrone]

Oooh, thanks Sarah

I love that black one on Ebay. Not sure how much I'll be spending yet, but these will give me something to look at

[ScarletLady]

Ooooh that green dress is beautiful

[night_wolf]

Ooooh that green dress is beautiful

^ I'm not engaged or married, but I wanted to comment on how amazing that dress is!

[ScarletLady]

I'm debating whether to get a tiara or not...what do you ladies think. It will only be something simple and subtle, not a Jordan crown or anything!

[ShadowThrone]

I'd go for it I'd like a tiara!

[ScarletLady]

There will be quite a lot going on in my hair so I only want something simple...I'm not sure, I'll have a little look about

[MrsEss]

I had a tiara...it was my something old cos I'd had it years (still do) from Tammy

this is the best pic I can find with it:

[ScarletLady]

I'm trying to work out exactly how I'll be having my hair...it's hard to imagine without the dreads being in...I'm going to put them in a few days before so I can have time to mess about with them

EDIT - yeah something like that would be perfect...love the bouquet by the way

[MrsEss]

Thanks It cost me a fortune!! (worth it) I had it for years afterwards too, it lived on top of my kitchen cupboards, but when we moved it was too dry & brittle to take with us.

I ordered it before I knew I was pg. but covered the little bump well

You can see my own made button holes too I made a biiiig one for my bridesmaid, she attached it to the bag she was carrying

[ScarletLady]

I'll have quite a big bump by the time the day comes I think

[MrsEss]

pfft. who cares? You guys have been planning to get married for ages.

you won't look like this:

[ScarletLady]

I don't care at all - my Mum was 16 and 8 months pregnant when she got married and she looks beautiful in her pictures

My dress is a maternity dress anyway so it can accommodate me

[ShadowThrone]

Haha, I love that friends episode!

Must stop looking at dresses now...
