Yes I love our venue!! It's so picturesque

Next up... the dress. I found this dress ages ago during my "Googling" and fell in love. Despite looking at others (and liking them) I always come back to this dress and it tops them all. Unfortunately it's from an American store but it's so cheap (and if the dollar holds strong) I could probably buy it through a shipping company. Otherwise Catch the Bouquet gave me a great quote to have it custom made. I haven't actually been to try on any dresses yet - I was hoping to lose a few kgs before I do that - so who knows, I may find my dream dress elsewhere.

For the bridal party I'm having a MOH, a BM, a JBM & a FG. FH will have a BM, a GM & a JGM.

MOH, BM & JBM will all have the same colour dress (dark purple) but I haven't decided if all the styles will be the same. (JBM depends on sizing). I want chiffon overlay and with straps. Some ideas...

And for the FG something like this... (the first one is unfortunately also from an American store - but they ship to Aus). I think the second one may be a bit too "young" for a 9 year old... (but that one is from ebay which would be easier).

I think the boys will be in dark grey suits. FH wants black but I think it will be too formal for a morning/lunch garden wedding. He also refuses to wear a vest lol.

Wow! I love the ceremony & reception!! It is so awesome. The chapel is so cute too - might not be so bad if it rains

Your ring is gorgeous! Love the pic of FH in the garden hahaha

Your dress is/will be stunning! I hate to tell you though, CTB looks to be shut down as the owners father recently died, there are a few threads about it with some alternative places that look pretty good though.
Really love the second bridesmaid dress, I am looking for something similar but floor length and pewter.

Where are the flowergirl dresses from? They're gorgeous!

I was originally going to get married at Chateau (until we cancelled our plans and we ran away) it is beautiful up there.

Oh no I didn't know that. Fingers crossed in about 18months when I'm looking to order my dress she might be back up and running... Otherwise I'll just have to look elsewhere.

Yes it was hard to choose between the lawn and the chapel! It came down to the fact that inside the chapel is quite small (which would be perfect for our smaller wedding) but it feels a bit awkward for the bridal party... But really I wouldn't be completely disappointed if we were married in there (although the pergola lawn is definitely number one choice) and they also have the wedding bells if you have the ceremony in the chapel which would be a nice touch.

Lol as long as he behaves himself on the day I will love him no matter what

The first dress is from mygirldress.com (http://www.mygirldress.com/flowergirldr ... 14-pl.html) they have some really cute dresses and do ship to Aus but I think it's about $50 in postage! The plus is that the dress is only $50 and I would have probably been looking at around $100 anyway. The second is from ebay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/260884956217 ... 1423.l2649) which with P&H is about $70.

Thank you. I really love my ring. I feel it suits my personality and even though it isn't big and flashy (like so many are these days) it is perfect Sometimes I wish we could just run away - it would be so much easier and SOOOO much cheaper!

Thanks everyone for being so kind and welcoming! Its so nice to share all my wedding plans with people that actually care LOL (I'm sure you all know what I mean! )

and they also have the wedding bells if you have the ceremony in the chapel which would be a nice touch.

Chateau Wyuna was my first choice for a wedding venue simply because of those bells. I them!

Those bridesmaids dresses you posted are lovely, too, I prefer the first one but that could just be my vintage style taking over.

Omg! I'm in love with the first FG dress! Everything else is looking good!
