First, just to brag: I'm getting married next year December.
My boyfriend and I are both in love with the Victorian era, and so we want our wedding to be complete victorian-themed.
Since I'm making my own wedding dress, and are too tired to Google all the time, I'd love to have some help with my dress, decorations, invitations and food styles mrgreen

In case people are going to say I can't sow my own dress (my talents aren't really THAT great) my mother is going to help me with all the small detailing mrgreen

So.. basically I need help with everything in the Subforum's titel mrgreen

Congrats and best wishes! biggrin

I haven't spent a lot of time researching the Victorian wedding, at least not yet, but I've managed to collect a couple interesting links. If you haven't already come across them I hope they may be of some help!

Blast, I could have sworn I had at least another one but I can't find it at the moment. If I come across it I'll definitely add it here.

I could spend five thousand EURO'S. Since we don't have the costs for renting anything fancy, since we'll marry in the park, I have more than enough to spend on the rest. ^-^
All my friends will be helping me, one of them working as a caterer and my mother and I will me making the dress ^-^

this specific page might be the most helpful biggrin

Nope, we have a very small appartment room so that would be a problem.
In one of the villages very close to ours is a very small church building.
We've always love it very much, so we're planning on marrying there.
