Are You Having A Humanist Wedding?

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:36:26 +0000

Are you having a humanist, nonreligous, secular or atheist wedding?

Hi All,

I am a researcher and am interested in interviewing and speaking to people who are planning non religious ceremonies. The work is part of my PhD looking into atheism/humanism/nonreligion in Britain and want to look at how people organise weddings "without God" or without a religion traditional to your upbringing or culture.

Would you be happy to speak to me? If so please message me and I can get in touch with more information and perhaps arrange to meet or chat.

THANK YOU

Katie

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:37:54 +0000

Hi all,

I would really like some advice. I am no good at design and decor.

We have recently booked our venue - Oakwood House Hotel in Maidstone, Kent.
I have just booked an appoinment with the florist and she has asked me to come with more definite ideas of colours and what I want.

So lets see if this is going to work. Here come some pics of the hotels decor
This is the Garden Room which we will use if its too cold or wet.

This is the breakfast/evening reception room:

I was thinking gold, but not sure if it will be too much in the reception room.
Any thoughts?

Wedding Proposals Needed For A Pilot Tv Show

Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:53:33 +0000

Are you planning on proposing to your boyfriend or girlfriend?? If you are then how about a proposal of epic proportions?! Forget the weekend away in Paris, the romantic dinner, the candles and flowers. Think Surprise Surprise meets flashmob! It could be the most amazing unforgettable proposal ever.

We are currently looking for incredible people to be the subject of a special television programme where they could be the recipients of the surprise of their lives, or a massive super-sized �Thank You�. People who have heart-warming stories, have been through life-changing experiences, or have changed the lives of those around them for the better.

The subject of the show cannot know that they are receiving this surprise. At the moment we would like to find out as much about them as possible. We�d like to know all about their life, what makes them so special, and why you�d like to surprise them.

And remember, it�s a secret! They mustn�t know that they are in the running to be part of a TV programme.

If any of this applies to you or you would like some more info, then please get in touch ASAP.

Makeup & Hair Trial

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 16:45:44 +0000

Got mine booked for next wednesday but am a bit confused :-/

When you had your trial, were you told to take Makeup along with you? Or did they provide it?

When i asked what i needed to bring, they said any hair accessories, tiara/headband & any makeup i wanted to wear :-/
Not sure if that is a just incase type thing, incase of allergies/skin conditions? Or if I have to actually provide the makeup? I thought they did that? :-/

Tempted to give them a call again tomorrow to find out.

Wedding Videography Tips #1

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:51:13 +0000

Top tip if you are having your day filmed as well as photographed, is to always look at your photographer rather than your videographer. Ignore your videographer as your behaviour looks much more natural, but your photographs, especially your official photographs look better if you look at the photographers camera!

Poor Service from Dress Shop

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 10:24:03 +0000

I went to [Company Name Removed] in Manchester in February with two of my bridesmaids to try on dresses. The second dress I tried on I fell in love with and whilst it was £600 over my budget I felt this was 'the one'.

Obviously me being a good size 18 with a G cup bra this size 14 sample that I tried on was made to fit on me by the very experienced Lady. The dress I chose had a corset type bodice on top; I asked again and again if I went ahead and ordered it that the one I received would fit my properly; any girl with a big chest would have the same concerns; I was assured that this is why they take my measurements so that the dress would fit me perfectly. I was also warned not to lose weight as the dress could only be altered in by up to one size. I decided on the same day to buy the dress; this was only the second ever wedding dress I tried but thanks to Lady's persuasion and the offer of a 'that day only' discount I went for it paying out £1325 for my dress.

Over the weekend I thought more about the warning not to lose weight and I decided on the Monday to go back and order everything two inches smaller – thank goodness I did!!!

I was told that my dress would be ready 8 weeks before the wedding and I phoned the shop with 6 weeks to go having not heard anything.
They told me that it would be ready with 4 weeks to go – I expressed concern at this and was told that it was only for a 'pick up' and that I would not need alterations and not to worry.

When it was down to 3 weeks to go and still no dress I was really worried and phoned the shop a few times; I was asked to come in the same week for my fitting. Starting to get stressed to say the least.

I went to the shop for the first fitting; bearing in mind my measurements had been taken and I ordered the smaller size i was confident it would fit. Lady the original sales lady did the fitting. The dress DID NOT FIT AT ALL on the bodice; it was gaping so much i could put both of my hands down the front and this was when it was tied to the very tightest at the back. I was gutted but Lady assured me that it would be altered to fit me 'perfectly; I then had to pay an additional £180 for these alterations!!!

The following week – 2 weeks to wedding – I returned for the fitting to be met by a completely new lady; Lady was nowhere to be seen. We got the dress on and I explained my concerns about it being SO ill fitting; this lady explained that she had never seen me in the dress so didn't know what the original fit was. I stated that when i ordered it i was assured that it would fit me perfectly. She told me in no uncertain terms that this would not be the case as all dresses are made in a standard C cup!!!!!

I was furious to say the least and really upset. I was NEVER told this when I tried on the dress as clearly taking a G cup I NEVER would have bought it!!!! I believe I was completely missold this dress just so the shop could make a sale. I was devastated. The alterer told me she would do her best to make it fit as best she could but that it WOULD NOT fit me 100%

When i left the shop in tears I phoned [Company Name Removed] head office explained what had happened and was told they would ring back. In the meantime I posted what had happened on the hitched.co.uk website.
After 3 hours and no call back – 2 weeks before my wedding!!! I phoned head office again and they said they would chase it. The alterer then phoned me from the shop and said she promised it would fit me okay. She then phoned back later to ask me to remove my comments from the website; I said I would when i collected the dress and was happy with it.

Turns out [Company Name Removed] and Hitched.co.uk have a better relationship than most as they removed my forum altogether and when i queried this i was told by Hitched.co.uk that their suppliers and advertisers were very important to them and detrimental reviews would be removed!!!!! What happened to free speech??

The following week – 1 week to the wedding I went back to the [Company Name Removed] shop to be met by yet another lady i had never seen before who was quiet snappy and stated she had also never seen the dress on me and couldn't comment on the fit. We put it on and whilst it definitely fit alot better than it had it still didn't fit even remotely properly or comfortably. At this stage I had no choice though but to take the dress.

On my wedding day I wore a £1325 dress that should have been perfect; Instead i had two big air pockets where my G cup boobs should have tried to fit into the C cup that was boned into the bodice. This in turn pushed my boobs down towards my waist ruining the corset affect and making it impossible to sit for any length of time and impossible to eat......

Thanks to [Company Name Removed] my day was ruined in more ways than one and i would discourage any bride from shopping in there. You pay that much for a dress you want the best; what I got was so far from the best it's unreal and I got to pay an additional £180 for the pleasure. DO NOT SHOP HERE!

Tiffany Themed Wedding - Any Help Appreciated!

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:38:52 +0000

Hi, I'm just getting started on plans to get married in June 2013 and i would really like a tiffany themed wedding in terms of colour. The biggest problem at the moment is the wide range colour variations that come back when i say this colour!

If anyone has done this theme and has any pics, stockists for items, centrepiece ideas etc then i would be ever so grateful. So far i can't even seem to get a good colour match for the card to make invites!

I've chosen my dress (Maggie Sottero, Isadora Marie), my bridesmaids (4 adults) and a rough date but the rest i could do with some help with!!

Many thanks

Catholic Church Service - Flowers?

Sun, 04 Sep 2011 12:51:36 +0000

I'm just after a bit of inspiration about church flowers for our wedding.

Our florist has suggested this for the front of the church:

Quote

2 x large and sumptuous pedestals created on hidden trays so you can move @�90 each. These arrangements are 3 feet wide and approx 6 feet high

Now I'm sure these will be lovely, but what else do people think is needed? Something at the door into the church, pew ends, etc?

Any input appreciated!

Church Music - Organ?

Sun, 04 Sep 2011 12:47:44 +0000

Hi, we're getting married in a Catholic Church. So there will be some hymms etc.

The church has a nice big organ, but my fiance Erica isn't a fan of the organ, but what alternatives are there for hymms etc?

We are thinking of having a harpist, but as it's quite a mellow instrument it will be for more quiet times (as guests arrive, during commmunion, signing of register etc).

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks!

Photography List For Traditional Posed Shots

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 18:30:32 +0000

Here's a list we give to our clients to give them a few idea's of any traditional shots they might want. It might help you put your list together... if you want traditional shots, not everyone does and reportage can be much more natural & fun. Alternatively we mix the both, and go for more relaxed photo's rather than the stiff posed shots of couples... try a picnic blanket picture (like my profile photo).

Here's the list:

 The first marital kiss
 Ring ceremony
 Group shot at signing of register
 Bride and groom walking up aisle
 Bride and groom getting into car

Before the reception �traditional posed photographs
 Bride

Infinity Glass Bowl Centerpieces - Help!

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 13:47:56 +0000

Hello all

I've got my heart set on x6 infinity bowls to use as my centerpieces at our wedding next year. For those who don't know it's a posh glass bowl you can put flowers in, turn it upside down, fill it with water, add floating candles - voila!

I have found a seller on ebay who sells 6 for �42.00 (I'm happy with this) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-GLASS-INFINITY-BOWLS-WEDDING-EVENTS-TABLE-CENTERPIECE-/310339254068?pt=UK_Candles&hash=item4841a93734

However, this doesn't include the 'plugs' to stop the water getting out! The same seller lists bowls with plugs for �90.00!! Crazy?!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-GLASS-WEDDING-BOWLS-CANDLES-LILY-FRAGRANCE-FLOWERS-/310339254100?pt=UK_Candles&hash=item4841a93754

Any ideas peeps of where I can find these (uk) or any suggestions.

Much appreciated.

I Cannot choose a hairstyle Finding it so hard - don't think it helps that i've forgotten what my dress looks like, roll on friday & i might get some inspiration.

I Like a fair few styles, but some i think might be too 'vintage' for my dress & not suit it too well.
Getting in a tiz about it all as i need to get my hair accessories soon so i can go for a trial.

Some Styles i like - sorry about the quality of some, they were taken with my camera on my phone as they were in a magazine.

am open to suggestions too

I Have a fringe at the mo - i'd love a sweeping fringe but i don't think it will grow enough in time :-/

Event Offer, �35Pp 3 Course Meal, Live Entertainment,

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:07:51 +0000

Hello, I have an event booking for a brilliant price on the 29th of October (this year) and we can't use it so am looking for someone to take over it. It could be a wedding, special birthday, company event etc

The price we were given was �35 per person it included, 3 course meal (or 2 course cheaper option for kids), live entertainment (choice of acts, we chose 80 tributes but there are things like Dirty Dancing and Abba to choose from), chair covers with bows (there were a few colours to pick from including black and white) and a discount for group bookings on hotel rooms.

It was booked for a charity ball but due to poor ticket sales we have had to cancel the event, �500 was paid from donations which have to be refunded to people but we are only a tiny charity (it would of been our first ball).

I know its very late notice but I thought I would ask around if anyone is interested as I know events, especially weddings normally cost far more than that without things like entertainment and chair covers. If we find someone who would like to take over our booking then the hotel have agreed to return our deposit. They can cater for up to 300 people and didn't give us a minimum amount of people.
I've not been to the hotel myself but a friend has and said it was lovely and the food was very nice.

As I said its on the 29th of October 2011, its at The Pines Hotel in Preston. (Removal of URL)

If you are interested then please let us know on info@postpals.co.uk and the lady we have been speaking to at the hotel is called Jean (the telephone number is on the website).

Thank you,

im so used to having a bag im wondering what to do on the day, if you didnt have a bag what did you do about things you needed?

Im thinking of getting kel a wallet to keep on him for the money for meal etc, but i'd ideally like to take my camera, and probably lipgloss to touch up, just not sure what or where to put them, id feel lost without a bag but think i'd look silly with one?

If you had a bag what did you do with it during the ceremony? Did you wear it or hand it to someone else?x

Size 8 Flat Bridal Shoes

I have a pair of shoes that I bought for my wedding which sadly didn't fit properly.

http://www.polyvore.com/ivory_aroseyb_flat_bridal_shoe/thing?id=11332373

They are in very good condition - they were worn around the house and office when I was trying to wear them in, but gave up in the end! There are some slight scuffs and wear around the back of the shoe but they are brand new otherwise.

I think they are a very small 8 so I would probably recommend them for someone who is a size 7.

They cost �45 new but I am happy to sell for �25 - they have a bag included so you can carry them around on your wedding day

Personalised Wedding Magazine Idea

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 20:51:00 +0000

Hi there everyone, I was wondering if I could ask your advice on a potential business project my husband and I are looking to start. For our wedding we made a personalised wedding magazine as our favours. My husband is a magazine designer and so he made it look like a Heat-style gossip magazine, but with pictures of us in it instead of pictures of Jordan and the cast of TOWIE!! (REMOVAL OF URL)

What I'm trying to find out is, as a potential idea would any of you be interested in having a magazine made for your big day? As well as working as a favour it could be a great personalised gift for friends and family.

As well as a Heat-style gossip mag we would offer a tabloid newspaper design, a vintage-style chintzy magazine and a high-end fashion magazine a bit like Vogue or Harpers.

The other thing we really want to know is how much to charge? Hypothetically speaking, would �100 deposit plus �2 per magazine sound reasonable? Please give us any feedback as we'd really appreciate your help.
