    Absolutely no one will notice dress colour and candle colour not matching. Don't worry!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,637 ✭✭✭Milly33


    In my head ivory is white, it is only when you go into the dress shops your discover what you thought was white is ivory... No one will spot it they are too close. Just pick whichever you are happier with

    Thanks guys, going with white. Feck it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,637 ✭✭✭Milly33

    It's been very quiet here the last few days, how is everyone doing?

    Think I just about planned out my hen party over the weekend. Delighted with that, it's really coming together now. Just to decide on who to invite now!ha!

    Hey Kildareash, 5 weeks to go! Our band emailed to say they are down a drummer - so have asked them to try and find a replacement, or the music might be a bit flat? Too late to organise anyone else!

    Also having a problem the zip on my dress is warped and not sitting straight (look like quasimodo!) no tailor will touch it so brought it back to shop and they are trying to fix it - although they are based in Kilkenny and I don't have time to go down!

    Venue owners have gone awol and no answer to any calls or emails in over a month :(

    Anyway confident it will all come together not going to get stressed!

    Wow, fairplay to you for remaining so positive. It will all come together on the day.
    I'm sure the band will be able to find somebody quick enough.
    As for the venue, they are probably crazy busy with brides and events at the minute.
    Hope the dress gets sorted too.

    I am nervous about it but getting stressed won't help anyone. Going to try and focus on doing my little DIY escort cards etc.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,637 ✭✭✭Milly33


    Phew, sounds like a bit of a dose to be dealing with. Hopefully the hotel are just super busy at the moment and will come back asap to you and fingers crossed the band will find a drummer if they are decant they will sure there are a few out there...It will come together as you say

    Have my hen this weekend and im so so tired I hope to wake up for it..Need to find a dress to wear going out and think that's it

    I'm about 9 weeks out now! Had a bit of a panic with my dress fitting. Had it booked for a week before the wedding, then I wanted to move it forward a few days. My bridesmaid was trying to get hold of the dressmaker and the phone just kept ringing out. She was leaving messages and nobody was getting back to her. So eventually I got a recommendation for another dressmaker and we made an appointment with her instead. Phew! She seems fantastic so I'm delighted.

    Invitations went out yesterday - yay!

    I ordered my veil and bridal belt from Etsy this weekend.

    Other than that, all's quiet for me! I'm guessing nothing much will happen now until we're home, and then it'll be 2 weeks of utter insanity!

    Just found invite never arrived to my sibling abroad. Was definitely posted. Feel terrible!

    10 days since for me and have been on honeymoon for a week. Going to have to hit the gym hard when I get home, the food in the US will be the death of me! :pac: We both just hit a breakfast buffet really hard at our Vegas hotel and can barely move now...

    We just got one returned to sender in the post today. My mother had the wrong address. We know another one didn't arrive either as we were given the wrong address by other friends who are getting married before us.

    So tonight 2 more invites have to sent!

    Sure I've put on half a stone since the wedding :pac:

    Back to gymming it and eating properly this week, don't want all my hard work to go to waste.

    Had the most wonderful time on honeymoon in Japan, I love it over there!!

    I didn't want to come home :(

    What an amazing weekend! I'm still on cloud 9 and haven't stopped smiling since Saturday. We had an incredible day, it was a huge amount of work to pull off a wedding in a non traditional venue in under 6 months but it was totally worth it.

    I'm sitting beside my lovely husband in the airport now on our way to Croatia to chill for a few days, yay!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,176 ✭✭✭✭fits


    Any pics extraplus? Sounds awesome. I'd never have the guts to take on such a job.

    I've put on half a stone as well, I think our wedding was around the same times as yours. Most of it is since I got back to be honest!! Back to the healthy eating here too.

    Enjoy the eating, holidays are a free for all.

    Congrats ExtraPlus.
