I DID IT!!!!

YEP I DID IT- I took the plunge- I swallowed hard and I think I can finally announce that I have made the decision on where our wedding reception will be held!! Anyone who read my post mums know best, probably would have gathered that I decided already, but I have been to nervous to even announce it before now. In saying that, the last few days I have continued on to think about other elements of my wedding as if it will be held at this venue.

And the place is….. THE GRAND ROXY at Brighton Le Sands. It was the very first place we went to see and even back then I couldn't fault it, but I was determined to see a million more before I decided and as any of my readers would know, I did. I saw those in the city, those out further, those with water views and those in Castles, but really in the end I was always comparing them to this venue. I thought I wanted a city venue, but I don't want to compromise other things I want just to say my wedding was in the city.


I don't like how this table is dressed, but I love the crystals and lights behind it.

I LOOVEEE that I will have exclusive use of the venue, I love that it has water views, I love  that our wedding will go for 6 hours, I love that our parents will attend a tasting with us, I love the modern decor,  the menu and I love the confidence we have in the owner/operator.

Now comes the tricky part… WHAT DATE??? Hahahaha. We originally said November 2013, but no we are looking at March 2013 (the venue is available for either). I have looked at weather patterns and other commitments and I just don't know how to pick a date.

Fellow brides, how did you choose your date???

  1. I picked our date by figuring out the exact middle of our birthday. Then when the venue stuffed up their availability on our date we just went with the next day which was better anyway since it was a Saturday. I kind of wish we had of put it two months before or after because this year felt so hectic with my birthday then the wedding then the Mr's birthday and now Christmas all a month within each other. It does make the end of the year go quicker!

    Good luck with whatever date you choose! I love hearing all about your planning! :D

  2. Ohhh wow that is such a cute and unique idea!! With me though that couldn't work as our birthdays are only 10days apart so that would make it major BUSY SEASON!! hahahaha xx

  7. We picked our date because it was a quiet time for FH at work, I would have finished uni but not started work yet.. And that narrowed it down to December or January, and we decided December was already too full with work christmas parties/family events etc so to have the best chance of all our guests being able to make it, we went with January.

    Then we got the availability of our venue and picked the date (or more so, it was the only Saturday evening in January 2012 available)

  9. we decided that remembering two different anniversary dates would be silly - so our wedding is booked for the same date that we first started going out :) when do you and A celebrate your anniversary?
