I'm with Hazel here Charley... it all sounds amazing.

It is your wedding, and you have what you want.
Your black and ivory with red flowers sound really classy... you keep it.
Have a lovely wedding day.

when is the wedding? did you say - sorry but not time to read right back.


Another idea! which could look absolutely super - a horse and carriage to take you to the church with the horses plummed up with white and black feathers and a little chap driving with the proper livery.

I'm getting quite carried away with this wedding - I'm thinking of the Reception now.

I am going to have a look at Charley's dress first... then I might send you a copy of my wedding...

i hope you dont think i mean you charley
not just you compromise
its your OH to be too, he should compromise
well actually he should go a long with you really

i am havin a horse and carriage, nice idea bout the feathers etc... the wedding is july 18th but my dress has to be made to order due to my size....xx

no julie, i know u mean both thats why i keep my dress and i comperise with the bridesmaid, my dress is the one that counts isnt it! x

Ooooh....lovely dress, Charley, really beautiful :-)

just had peek
thats beautiful
ignore all i said first go for wot ever you want in colours

youll look stunning

im only 4"11, hubbys just under 6ft,
i wore tiny heels on my wedding day, he was in his uniform

the train is beautiful on the back of the gown too,
dont let him see it wot ever you do

I wouldn't feel happy getting married in a dress I thought my OH wouldn't like - it's his day as well.

How do the bridesmaids feel about wearing black? My grown up bridemaids helped me choose the colour for their dresses, I wanted them to feel comfortable as well.

I love the idea of a black and ivory wedding but if it was going to cause problems I'd choose the dress I wanted and compromise on what the others wore.

thank you very much, do you see now why i sooooo want that one, i felt like a princess when i tried it on....xx

Tradition for who? Queen Victoria set the trend for a white dress (so I believe) and then for many many years it was only the rich had a special dress. Certainly until 1920s most brides got married in a dress or suit they could wear again and many still have done since - and still do.

Your colour scheme is not black but ivory and black or ebony and ivory - how does that colour scheme sound - I would go for cream flowers it would carry on the elegance theme. Why not have the adult bmaid in ivory with black bow - saw a wedding once where all inclduing bride were in peach and it was actually quite nice and different.

my oh would like the dress, im sure, he knows my style 6 years together he should expect summit deifferent like always, both bridesmaids agreed to black, and i even let tehm choose the style.... its the rest of the families, his mum for example.... its not a very attractive colour is it.... well to me it is.... im not asking her to wear it am i.....n im gettin angry with her all over again lol.... damn u mil....

I think it is amazing .... plus it is YOUR DRESS.

I think your dress is your choice and nobody elses.

I think black and white sounds stylish BUT how about a compramise have the bm dresses made up in a coloured (your choice of) material with black trim or sashes, same material for all but different styles to suit different sizes and ages. Black and the colour in bms head wear (feathers?)
Then you can pick that colour up in your bouquet and the venue flowers..

Well, if your bridesmaids don't have a problem with wearing black then go for it.

Charley it's beautiful
you may have felt a princess when
you tried it on
but on your wedding day you will look and feel like a queen

Hi Charley,

If you, OH and the bridesmaids are happy then that's that!

M i L and the others can wear colours they like. I wouldn't try to force them into black and white by having it as a theme, it can look awful on some people.

She's got 11 months to get used to it. Order the dresses then there is no point in her moaning because it's done.

Gwynne

I can't find it....... I've tried and tried and I get into the Mark Lesley site... and then it goes haywire :¬((

I will give it a rest for five minutes, and send Hayley some of my wedding pics... she'll be so thrilled!!

Then I'll try again

Love
