Wedding Idea's

[CAJFLY]

hey guys. i recently got engaged in feb this year and now we are in the process of ideas for the wedding.

just wondering if ne of u guys have ne ideas on venues, limo company's, catering, photographers, and what not.

if u have been married or have been to a wedding that you thought u were well looked after then please feel free to let me know as we would greatly appreciate it.

or even if u know someone in one of the industries above let me know to please.

well with the limos i suggested to my fiance bout skylines but she said no as it would be too hard getting out iof it in her dress..

( but that doesnt rule out me going in one and having a convoy of skylines:D:D)

thanks in advance Aj

Argh! Since IE died on me I have to start all over again

Congrats on the engagement

Luke and I were married March last year and I wanted to include his Skyline as much as we could, as it was his pride and joy. (and we are both car nuts!)

For cars, we had his skyline as the "main" bridal car - He and the best man and grooms man arrived in his car at the ceremony/reception. My bridesmaid was also in another skyline, and my maid of honor travelled in another.

I arrived in a HSV clubsport, for similar reasons to your fiance, I didnt want to get in and out of the skyline in my big boofy dress and also I wanted my dad to be in the car with me (he gave me away)

Here are some pics:

All lined up for a photo shoot:

and as they arrived at the ceremony/reception:

For the guys bonbonieres we used

Put It Out There and had personalised stubby coolers made up in blue with white writing. They were awesome to deal with, we had the get away car as the picture and got them to change the number plate from "HELLO" to "NUTR33" which is hubbys number plate. I definately reccomend them to anyone!!

Perhaps the most talked about (and one of my favourite features) at our wedding was our personalised cake toppers..... I had a mini replica "NUTR33" skyline made up, along with a custom bride and groom!! Irene was amazing - and the price at the time was a BARGAIN! (I think its gone up significantly now though) My mother in law and sister in law made the cake and decorated it, and now we have our cake toppers sitting in a display cupboard to keep forever

And for resources and ideas, I joined up to the forums at www.i-do.com.au and found some awesome advice and reccomendations.

Anyway enough rambling from me for now - Feel free to PM me if you have any more QN's or want some more pics

I went to Sky High in Mt Dandenong this afternoon just for having a look around, there's a couple having a wedding there with limo... and a hired private garden for the function. you can do the similar, PLUS a few Skylines if you want or have friends that are willing to participate.

I reckon the best place to get married is Butleigh Wootton on Glenferrie Rd in Kew.

http://www.butleighwootton.com.au/main.html

They've won best caterer 3 years in a row. Food is fantastic, the central staircase and surrounding gardens are sensational. There is enough parking, and it's close to the city. Very reasonable prices as well.

We also had a look at the Willows on St Kilda Rd.

http://www.thewillowsrestaurant.com.au/

Probably only good for up to around 60-70 people. Little cramped for more. But can't beat the convenience of the location.

For celebrants, Des Stow is very professional and fantastic, and also has very competitive prices

For photographers, these can range from $500 to $5000. We chose a relatively cheaper company and spent the savings on the honeymoon. The pictures, while may not be award-winning, were still great. Maria will also bend over backwards to accomodate your needs.

On the grooms side we had my r34 with the ribbons and his wrx. we had it parked right infront of the church.. looked mint! and then the bride's side rocked up in a hummer limo.

It was a really good day. heaps of photo's ! (which i havnt seen yet)

Oh and we also had a camera man, which took shots of us leaving the house. it was good.

Yes

We are both car nuts, and all of our friends know how much hubby loves his car and the long story behind it so I figured it could be a cool novelty.

where/when?

been engaged since last july so time to start looking at this shit

they are on fairly often.

we went to the one at Telstra Dome in January, it was pretty good (not set up very well) but had the cars on display and then inside had heaps of photographers (we are photographers so knew like everyone there!), also on display is cakes, stationery, gift ideas, fashion show of dresses and suits

and then in February we went to the one at the Exhibition Centre in Carlton, it was good, similar sort of stuff but nice and spaced out, more cars, different photographers, cakes etc and fashion show.

we also went to a venue expo for a particular caterer, that was really good.

most of the expos are advertised in the bridal magazines, does your fiance get any of them?

the expos are at the start of the year and then again mid year i think - http://www.bridalexpos.com.au/ and http://www.ourweddingexpos.com.au/vic.htm give you a bit of info
