MARRIAGE PROPOSALS
"My h2b asked twice. First time was on christmas day after we had a lovely fried christmas breakfast and bind crosby was on the telly. I said yes but you have to ask my dad! 9 months later he eventually asked my dad and proposed again on my 21st birthday. Two rings for me yippeee." Amy Johns
"My H2B's proposal was a bit naff. He doesnt do romantic, his idea of creating an atmosphere is to light a few tealights. When it came to proposing he presented me with a beautiful ring and asked me to try it on my wedding finger. He was all flustered and I could see he was really nervous, but when it fitted perfectly his smile lit up the room, well more than the candles did! The romantic part of the story is that he is a jeweller and made the ring himself so I know that all his love has gone into it and because of that, I think he can get away with the proposal being a bit rubbish. Will just have to make something up for the kids...... " Rachael Bradley

WEDDING FLOWERS
"I just got my wedding bouquet yesterday and it's so wonderful and different - a dozen royal purple leather roses in a drop shaped bouquet! The bridesmaids each have a single leather rose to keep and they won't ever wilt or die. I got them from the English Leather Rose company." Kitty
"We originally had a quote from a local North Berwick florist for our wedding at dirleton castle and we were very shocked at the price. Once we recieved the quote from them we were astonished at the price. I contacted an old school friends florist in Portobello (Edinburgh), to discuss the quote and see what she thought. Well now we are going with my friend, as she was telling me that the price i was quoted was a celeb wedding price, well i was shocked. My friend is giving me what i want plus more for half the price of the original quote from North Berwick.
I am having a fairy tale wedding and well her prices are amazing. I am so excited for the day and have seen all my flowers and she is such a lovley woman." Diane Crawford
"The florist we had was excellent. She was local at the Orchardleigh Estate in Somerset. Lesley's Flower Shop provided exactly what I wanted it made me cry walking into the church She even gave us advice on what to do for the guests and other problems we might have incurred at the house." Janye Smith
"I had a silver & crystal bouquet, as I wanted the whole 'ice queen' look. Plus it was quite different to a traditional bouquet.

Catherine Smith
"I was very lucky when I searched for my Wedding Dress - I saw one in a catalogue and said that if it suited me that was the one! Everyone agreed that it looked gorgeous and really suited me. I went for a 'Galadriel' style - I had always said I didn't want just ivory, so I ended up with sculpted neckline, my the bodice half was ivory with beautiful medieval looking black embroidery, the skirt half was long and flowing ivory, with matching ivory train, and I was able to pair it with some beautiful dangly, elegant black earrings and matching necklace (which coincidentally my fiance had bought me for a birthday present a year or so before!!"
