 Hi guys....
My younger cousin told me about this site as it helped her with her wedding plans for her wedding last April.

I have only been engaged since Boxing Day (surprise for my 28th birthday!!) and have wasted no time in starting to think about everything!! Even the date!!! May bank holiday 2013!!

My mum told me to get a book together with all details from budget, possible venues even own to the favours!! I have taken her up on this idea and have started searching around for the perfect venue, dress and bridesmaid dresses at a decent price!

Any help and advice would be very much appreciated!!

xx

 @lucyhare congratulations on your engagement and welcome to the site! It's a great place for advice, ideas and tips or even a little rant if something is getting on your nerves! I see you're another midlands bride too (i'm from Birmingham), there are a few of us on here and a private area for midlands brides too.

 @lucyhare - welcome to the site and congratulations on your engagement. I agree with @seckerette a good place to start is by thinking of your guest list. And then I would start looking at some venues and start booking because I think bank holidays are popular times and you may find that some venues are already booked! Good luck with your planning and look forward to seeing some of your ideas emoticon x

 @lucyhare Congrats on the engagement and welcome. Everyone here is so lovely, helpful, and amazingly supportive so you should love it emoticon I use the wedding plandroid app, very useful esp for the guest list coz a lot of people have rsvp'd verbally and my memory is horrific!

 @lucyhare congratulations how exciting! I would agree with @seckerette start with your guest list of people who you & your partner definitely want to see you get married then start looking into venues. We wanted the June 2012 bank holiday but it had already been booked and that was last january so 18 months before the actual day!

Be ready people will say are you not booking things too early but for the essentials (venue) you have to.

It's also a good time for wedding fayres for you to get pampered and loads of freebies and ideas.

Mostly enjoy looking into everything as you won't get this time again

 @lucyhare if you look on the left hand side of the main forum page you should see a link with a key next to it which says "west midlands brides". I think you have to send a message to the discussion administrator to get them to add you to the list of people with access. It's a good place to chat with other brides from the midlands and perhaps pick up some region specific tips.

  @lucyhare Congratulations and I'm sure you will have a great day. You may want to get hold of a wedding checklist as this will happy guide and remind you of the most important things you need to do. We have one but most websites will also. Have a great day.
