Its exciting isn't it! You are so organised having it home already - I'd be trying it on everyday! I don't have my first fitting until May and then it will be made over the month ready for June/July - thats perfect for me, because its still a secret that we are getting married, so trying to hide a wedding dress would be quite hard as I still live at home with my parents!!!

Hiya Debz,
Not long now for you, it will fly by! Have you got everything sorted? It is just the 2 of us going too, so you will have to tell me what its like when you get back, because I haven't heard from anybody else who has done the same yet. I think it will be nice and romantic and hopefully (fingers crossed) stress free.
We are having a party when we get home, however we can't seem to agree on when this will be lol - hopefully before our tans fade! Will you be wearing your dress again at your 'do?'

hi klin...ahhh thats great about your dress...at least you know you can have it made exactly as you want it..it will be perfect.what have you decided upon for your silk flowers???i am just being nosey (i am a florist!!) its a very good idea to have silk as they travel well and as you say you can use them on return..and a beautiful memory after the wedding is over.i am going to speak to florist in lindos when we arrive as i am sure about what to have...although my boss( who is flying out with us) wants to arrange a dutch delivery to arrive in rhodes so we can do our own....the reason being i am possibly having purple vanda orchids for our reception on our return..and on the invites too.i am going to make some silk orchid buttonholes to take with me for our guests hopefully.think i need to grow another pair of hands...no..scrap that..clone another me...that should work!!! happy days :smile:

hi debz...yes,as klin says it will fly by. you get married before us so would be great to hear from you (if you get chance!!!!) on your return . let us know all about it...i remember you saying about the plate smashing...i think its so funny...might try it myself at home. help relieve some of the stress!!give me an excuse to buy new ones...or put them on my wedding list!! he he.i am going to do some greek dishes(or should i say my other half as he is the chef in our house) for our buffet...keep the theme going. bye for now

Hi Miss P,
I originally wanted red hand tired roses, however my boyfriend is an Evertonian so I thought I best not, as this will be the colour scheme for the reception and on the invites, so I will order gorgeous deep, yet bright, blue roses, with a bit of green around the edges and handtired.

hi girls..just wondering if anyone would know what the airline cost is for them to transport our dresses in a box. been told might be best to shrink wrap it and pay extra to have it put with luggage as it will be to big to take in-flight!!didnt really want to do this s worried about any damage....if anyone has any info on this it would be very helpfull. thanks sue.x :)
Reply
hi miss p my bridal shop said the best way to take the dress is in a hodel as hand luggage they can show you how to roll it so it fits that way you just need to let it hang in a steamed room to let any creases drop. not long to go now im so worried everything wont be sorted. rings are being made as we speak got my dress book reception and dj and stuff booked in for my documents just need to pay for everyhting now lol. hows everyone elses plans coming along xxx

Hi,

This is my first time on this site, but i am getting married in May 08 at St Pauls and am thinking about having my reception at Nostalgia in Pefkos as i am staying at the Lindia Thallasa. Wedding planners have suggested it and parents have said they saw it whilst out in Rhodes last year and it looked nice but they didnt go in. Has anyone eaten their???
