come on guys, any recommendation is welcome !!!!

Which part of the city are you in, and where's the wedding? It still makes sense to hire people from as local to your house or the venue as possible, to reduce the possible delays from traffic on the day.

I'm at sheffield S25 area, so is the wedding gonna be -- it's about 5~10min drive off J31 of M1.

I don't really want to jut get someone from yellowpage, especially like make-up artist, hairdresser and DJ, personal recommendation is very important to me.

Florist:-

Floral Design by Tina Jones

Located at 128 Halifax Road in Sheffield 0114 - 2813400.

She is a friend of a friend and very good at arranging flowers for all occasions.

oooh you should have got a wedding planner !!

wedding planner ......... tosh.

flowers .... loads of florists around

makeup.....Do it yourself, nobody knows your face like you do, makeup artists usually make you look like a street walker anyway.

Hairdresser .... use your usual, your wedding day is not the day to discover a crap hairdresser!

DJ .......... Ask the room hire people where the reception is, they will recommend one

Jeweler to make wedding rings ......... er ..... buy em ready made!

easy .......... sit back and enjoy your last 5 months of freedom.:)

PA Jewellery on Commonside made both my and the wife's wedding rings. They are great rings.

Edit: And it was cheaper than buying 'off the shelf'. Also you can be individual. I have a seven band Russian ring. You won't find that in a jewellers shop window :thumbsup:

I agree with pinklady!

flowers - i did my own (with assistance from mum grandma and bridesmaids (and bridesmaids OH's!!!!)) the flowers were bought from a wholesaler the day before

makeup - i experimented a bit before and did my own on the day

hair - i did my own, no-one else ever knows how to handle it anyway!!!

rings -we got plain rings from a decent jeweller

DJ - we didn't have an evening do, so jsut didn't bother

saves a hell of a lot of money this way too, you can spend that on more important things...like the dress :D

oooh you should have got a wedding planner !!

I agree with Lindsey!

I have a friend who is just starting out as a wedding planner. Because of this, she will do the work for a very, very reasonable price!

I think it depends on what type of wedding you want, but they can be absolutely invaluable. My friend has loads of contacts and can negotiate good prices for you, so her fee will more than pay for itself. Also, it is great having someone there on the day who can take the stress away. I know you will have a bridesmaid to help out, but having someone who does not have a role to play on the day who can make sure everything runs smoothly is great.

Let me know if you want her details, even if it is only to have a chat about whether you think it is the right thing for your wedding or not.

I got married 18 years ago, there wasnt such a thing as a 'wedding planner' then, make up artists were for the very rich only, flowers were ordered from the local flowershop, custom made rings ... again was only for the rich or famous (although we only wanted plain bands anyway), DJ came with the room hire.........

There is a wedding fair at ponds forge this weekend - and there is a discount entry voucher online here (http://www.yorkshireweddingshow.co.uk/content.php?nPageID=153)

Have a look at the website, it looks great

yes, please give me your friend's e-mail. I didn't plan to have a wedding planner, but that idea sounds quite attractive now. thanks

Me too !

Always a good idea - resonable prices too. A lot of people think it's going to be very expensive but it usually works out around 10% of the overall cost of the wedding + expenses.

thanks guys, great response, I've got a very good quote on the flowers since I did the first post, also, lots of good advices -- keep them coming guys, very much appreciated !!!

wedding nowadays costs too much, i'm determind to keep cost under 5 grand -- EVERYTHING included eg rings, honeymoon, church,receiption,evening do, dresses, cars, photographer etc. i've got some really good deals, which i shall recommend to other people in the future.

Hi, I can't send you a message until I have 10 posts, but if you e-mail me becksha@googlemail.com I will give you her details :thumbsup:

She's really lovely, but very organised as well!

we got married in 2002 and it was well under 5k, though it wasn't a church do it was still one of the best days ever. not much use to you i know but we got married at the spa in scarborough and they did the reception and evening do for under 2k

It's worth having the chat ...doesn't cost anything. I'd offer but I am swamped with events at the moment.

Myself and a friend are in the process of completing a wedding flowers course and setting up our own business, specialising in flowers for weddings and civil ceromonies. We have already done a couple of weddings, with great feedback from the customers.

We can offer very competitive prices for good, original and traditional designs. If we can help get in touch. We did 20 button holes, bride and grooms corsage for £50.00 at the last wedding.

Good luck witrh the arrangements.

My big day is in June, still lots need to be sorted out -- :help:

come on guys, any recommendation is welcome !!!!


Garretts on Chesterfield Road is excellent for wedding ring/bridesmaid gifts. He made my wifes wedding ring two years ago and it is fantastic. Not only is the service good but the prices are very reasonable also.

I agree about PA Jewellers, we had our rings made there and they're perfect, well mine was made, hubby's was just a plain gold band. Lovely though!

Definately recommend PA jewellery for the rings, they were super helpful when we went along, and v.v. reasonably priced.

If you haven't got a dress yet, if not, I'd highly recommend having a look at an American website Best Bridal Prices (put it into google to find it - not enough posts for links apparently!) Sounds a bit random buying your dress online, but they were absolutely brilliant for me...

I tried on in a shop down south which I fell in love with, got the name of the manufacturer and whacked it into Google and low and behold I found it on this website. The dress down south was £900, tried the same dress on in Pronuptia in Sheffield (£800) but managed to get the dress imported from America with a free pair of shoes (died to match the dress exactly - free of charge), free veil, and a free tiara, including postage, packing and import tax for just under £450!!!! Customer service was brilliant, kept me up to date when the dress was due to arrive and it arrived 2 weeks early in the end! Ended up doing the same with my bridesmaid dresses - they're absolutely stunning and at £200 for three gorgeous full length, adult, heavy satin dresses, pretty darn good value!

If nothing else the website has hundreds and hundreds of dresses to give you some ideas (for the majority of the dress makes you can find a supplier in the UK and try it on somehwere here to check it suits).

I'm still searching for a good DJ for a cheesy evening disco if anyone has any recommendations...

Have you sorted out things like invites/photography/place settings? If not then drop me an email - chris@dasgrafik.com.

Wedding planners aren't essential - your wedding can be as individual as you are, but if you haven't got a lot of time to devote to planning they can be a lifesaver!

And a good professional should always be able to save you more than they cost.

Speaking of weddings!!!!!

I have just spoke to the councill to book an appointment to arrange my "Notice of Marriage" and i just found out its cots bloody £30 EACH!!!!! to stick your name in the town hall for 15 days!!!!!!!!!

But yeah, if your getting married dont forget to do this!!!! :D

Congrats, i know i guy who does wedding cars really nice, really cheap. PM me for details!

we got our rings from ebay. We've been in a hurry to get things sorted as got engaged in november and the big day is 26th jan.

my dress is from berketex opposite debenhams down the moor and they were lovely in there. They had a deal on so I got a bridesmaid dress free so that saved a bit but my dress cost more than planned!! I'm still waiting for my fittings/alterations so getting nervous. They said it could be a week before.

And yes, you pay the £30 each to have the bands put up at the town hall and got to pay another £260 on the big day, I think it is, for the registrar! I'm in the wrong job! Was funny having a mini game of Mr and Mrs to check we knew about each other and not doing it for illegal reasons!

Best hairdresser going is either Gary or Jane at Well Don Hair Salon at the top of Morthen Road, Wickersley, not sure if they do mobile services but you could always call them and find out - 01709 545 465. Book in well in advance though, they fill up pretty quickly, especially Gary.

thanks for your message, please leave me your e-mail address, I can't reply to private messgae as I'm a new member. thanks.

about PA Jewellery --

following recommendations from a few members on the forum, I've contact them, told them what i'm looking for, and they've given me a brilliant qoute -- a lot cheaper than certain jeweller in Meadowhall !!! I can't believe it !!

Thanks guys, I still need information on make-up and hair dresser !!! I'm all ears !!!!! Oh, has anybody got 2 size 8 bridesmaids dresses? thinking about pale blue, yellow, or pink....

I agree with the P.A. Jewellery mention, i have had a few lovely things from there! In regard to make up, at the clinique counter in boots meadowhall, if you book a make up lesson, it costs 20 quid, but they give you a twenty pound voucher to spend on products. I went and had it done for a fancy party, i went a few days before and the women showed me looked nice for my complection and then i bought the stuff, and did it myself for the party!

Good Luck With Everything, I Got Married In September And Arranged It All Myself. I Can Recommend A Great Hairdressers In Swallownest Who Did My Hair, This Was At The Last Minute Too As I Was Let Down By Someone Else, So I Had No Practice Before The Day.

I posted something up before too, cos I was helping a friend out with her wedding.

Another idea on dresses and bridemaid dresses, is to take advantage of the sales now. A lot of decent dresses can be found in Coast. They have a concession counters in most department stores, and also now more individual franchaises in North England.

I went to the York Mcarthurglen outlet, and found a summer dress that I found in Coles before, which I didn't manage to get the right size for. I was surprised that I found more sizes in the franchaise in York. Even the one in Meadowhall didn't have the summer collection any more. So it pays to ring around, or to shop around. It can be stressful, but don't let it out you off though. Try also to get a list of the Coast franchaises, and you can always ring around asking for the right dress. Especially if you know the exact one that you want.

BHS does a good collection of bridal wear too. Easier on getting the right sizes.

Wish I'd read this before we went down. Six quid!? They're having a laugh. :|

Went to the boozer instead.

Drop me a PM with your ring details (only if plain platinum or gold) or check out our online store http://www.weddingrings4u.co.uk/ for prices. Incidently, we try to be very competitive so if you see a ring cheaper elsewhere (including ebay), send me full details and I'll see what I can do.

Cheers,

Webkey.

Try Maurice Bywater its just opposite greggs on the corner near the peace gardens. They make fab rings.

You could try Cake Booth on Staniforth Road 4 cakes! They don't seem to be that pricey! but they make gorgoeus cakes!

Also you try buyng them yourself such as tesco and mark and spencers do them. Could cost you about £50.00:|

hope this is helpful!

Does anybody know where we can hire an old Fiat 500 from? Preferably local to South Yorkshire
