Submit a question » We don't want a church wedding, but can't decide whether to get married and have the reception at the same place or get married in the registry office then have a hotel, hall etc for our reception. What are your opinions and experiences on this? 3 Terri, Diss View » My fiance and I have chosen a historical venue with original features such as high ceilings, dark wood and ornate fireplaces. We want to add some special touches to our day to reflect our interests and personalities (retro/vintage) but I'm worried this will clash with the venue and look over-bearing, as none of the rooms in our venue have a blank canvas to play with. Any tips or advice on how to incorporate a vintage/retro theme into this kind of venue? 1 Anna, Leicester View » My fiance's brother and sister in law have an 8 month old baby, their 3 year old will be at the children's table but do I have to have the baby at the top table with us? I don't want it to turn into a creche and have her in a high chair with us? Would it be rude to ask my sister in law to be to give her to an Aunt to look after during dinner? 5 Laura, London View » I have a wedding dress that has deep sentimental value to me, but I recently took it out of the loft and realized that I’m not longer in love with the design… could you recommend anywhere good that can customize and alter wedding gowns? 1 claire, Princes Risborough View » I have four very beautiful bridesmaids, but they are all very different and have very unique styles. The smallest one is a size 8 and the biggest is a 30. I am finding it impossible to find dress that will suit all them. Any ideas? 4 Jennifer, Scotland View » I have a location for my wedding reception in east London but I am finding it hard to find a ceremony-only venue that isn't hugely expensive. I'm not looking for a church, just somewhere elegant and spacious (over 100 guests) with an aisle (something sadly missing from a lot of town halls). Any help appreciated! 1 Kathryn, London View » I'm getting married in October. I'd like to have a tipi style/rustic marquee. The sides will have to be closed as it will be October. Has anyone any experience on what is the best heating for a marquee at this time of year? I want to make sure everyone is really warm. Are open fires/ wood burners warm enough? It will be large enough for about 150 people. Are blow heaters a good idea or too noisy and hot one end and not the other? Any thoughts would be great! 0 Rachel, London View » I am having a wedding abroad in May 2013. Is it asking too much to have a black tie dress code if the wedding Mass is at 3.30pm? I suspect it will be warm, about 25 degrees during the day. Also, will it look strange if the wedding party is in morning suits rather than black tie like the rest of the guests? Thank you! 3 Nic, London View » My fiance wants to get married in a tweed suit...can anyone recommend a good tailor and a hire company that will do tweed suits for the best men? 2 Gemma, Crawley View » I am getting married 23 July 2016 and would like to know if it is to early to start planning and deciding on our venue? 5 Gemma, Birmingham View » I would like to marry my fiance in a Catholic church, as he is Catholic - but I am not. Will be able to marry my man in a Catholic church without becoming Catholic myself? 3 Joanne, Glasgow View » My future mother-in-law offered to make me a veil. I had decided not to wear one, so to make her feel included I asked her to make the flower girl dresses instead. However, she absolutely refuses to make them how I want and says the lovely embroidered tulle I paid £40/metre for is only curtain worthy. I can't get her to listen to me and now, to top it all, I have decided I do want a veil after all but I don't want her to make it! How do I resolve this without us having a huge fallout? 2 Georgina, London View » I am wondering if I should include on the menu the vegetarian option. People will have to let us know in advance that they are vegetarian/other dietary requirements so no one on the day can opt for meat or vegetarian. If they only get what has been already selected is there any point? In fact, is it worth paying for printed menu cards? 1 Helen, London View » I am a month into planning and really struggling to decide on the theme or colours. I have picked a venue and I have my dress, but I cant work out what bridesmaids dresses or theme I should be going for - anyone got any tips on what might help? I've looked an hundreds of pictures and can't find anything that fits the image in my head (the one I'm struggling to pinpoint!) - my dress is an Ian Stuart (a bit retro vintage with silk, lace and tuile), our venue is a 5* Country manor estate and the date is March next year. Help! 4 Anna, Devon View » How long before your big day should you start trying on dresses? My wedding is 18 months away and without sounding too keen, I have no clue when you should start! I've heard that by February, it's all last years stock! Does that mean from March onwards, I should be looking for a dress for 2013?! X 5 Notlongnow, Yorkshire View » Hi there, I'm hoping to have a vintage style wedding as I love the romantic feel to this types of dresses. Ive been recommended a few designers but I just wondered what everyone's thoughts were on this style of dress compared to the more traditional fairytale dress? 5 Lara, Herefordshire View » I am looking at the possibility of renting a wedding dress, and was wondering if anyone can name any shops in the UK or websites that would offer the service? 0 Tina, Coventry View » My future mother in law has found an outfit that she wants to wear to our wedding: It's ivory. She claims it is ‘nothing like a wedding dress’ but I am still uncomfortable. What should I do? 7 Franny, London View » We want to set up a gift list so guests can buy presents or contribute to our honeymoon. I've found a few good honeymoon sites but nothing that caters for both, does anyone have any suggestions? 2 Naomi, Southampton View » I'm having trouble with one of my bridesmaids...everything I have said I would like for the wedding she has shot down with a snide comment....here's the punchline: she's my fiance's sister. How do I tell her to keep it to herself without starting any family politics?? I'm starting to get to the point of telling her she's no longer a bridesmaid. Help!!
