Our Elegant Rock Day - 19th Sept 2013

[lady emz]

Wow I love your shoes! Good idea to wear them around the house before to make sure they are comfy.

I was told by abother bride that bridal shoes are so comfy and I will last all day in them ... and she was right! I didn't take mine off from when we left SSR at around 3pm ish til we got back to the GF at midnight hehe.

Happy planning! We used Randy in October and I just love his style, so fun and artistic which works so well over there. We also used Carrie for her parcel delivery service and she is just the best! We have since become great friends and you are in the very best hands

Hey there

At the moment we have 14 confirmed guests (well including us as well) but have invites out to another 10 people so could have around 20 I suspect if others can afford it.

I wanted like a mini UK reception hence why we've gone for the dancefloor. I believe we can have up to 30 without compromising on space for a dancefloor (as it has to be set up prior to the evening) but if we don't have a dancefloor then the room can accomodate 60 they say

The room is fairly big but doesn't feel too much. It's oddly shaped which is why it looks smaller but once you're in it, 14 of us will have plenty of room. Plus we can always dance on the carpet in any case

Carrie is providing a member of staff and the music system/speakers and she's done this before so I'm fully confident she will know what she's doing and what works and doesn't. If its been said it can be done then it's ok with me.

Ah thanks. Always good to hear reviews of other UK brides using the people we've chosen. I met both Carrie & Randy in September when we visited and just knew straight away I wasn't going to have any problems with them at all.

It's all coming together now and can't believe it'll be under 9 months soon which is flying by...

Randy arrives at 10:30am and as the reception ends around 9:30pm (or prob much later by time we've headed to the bar in the hotel) my shoes better last all day. I want to wear them all the time (and will get them dyed black on our return so I can wear them with formal dresses etc and not waste them in the loft after the wedding).

That is a fab idea to dye your wedding shoes xxx

Hi All

So we've now booked our limo for the big day - Thanks to Sarah for her recommendation for Florida Magical Tours. We've chosen a lovely white limo which will look great picking me up from the reception of Hard Rock Hotel and dropping me & hubby back after the ceremony.

Invitations have now been sent and thought you may like to see them in case any of you are stuck for ideas. The lovely Marianne at Ditsy Chic produced these for us and even better she's based in Bristol so we could pick them up personally.

Hope you like them:









I think that's it for now and will update again when we've progressed further!

Indeed but don't wait too long. I ordered mine 24th November and it'll be here end of May - just 3 months before the wedding! So I'm hoping it'll be ok when it arrives as won't have time to get another!

[SnowWhiteGsy]

[Sarah84]
