Hi

After a long 12 year relationship and me stating quite firmly throughout that I'm just not the marrying kind, I'm slowly coming around to the idea.

Now the main two things that put me off is the cost, if I truly want to spend that kind of money on what I still see as a splurge and basically the whole idea of planning it all. I can't afford a fancy wedding planner and have no clue where the best places to start looking for ideas on dresses, flowers and reception venues in southern Tas. so though I could shortcut by getting some tips, I figure once I have somewhere to start I will get into the swing of it a bit more

Any advice is welcome the only thing I know for sure at this stage is where to have the actual ceremony and TBH I'd be happy with just that but of course DF wants to have the 'after party' lol

*Also posted in wedding forums for more traffic, sorry if you have read it twice.

Where you located?

I only know of a few good places down South

Sorry we live in West Moonah, so Hobart and surrounds

There is alot out there.

I am currently planning my wedding YEY

I stumbled across this site the other day that offers hiring which is great and they are Hobart based!

Theres quiet a few places to have the Reception.

The cheapest I have found so far and they have fantastic food is
Southern Lights at Kingston and thats where we are planning on having our Reception.

There EnWrapped on Elizabeth St
They sell alot of stationary ( for invites etc )

feel free to pm me to pick my brain if you want....

So much in there dunno what to put down

I have been on www.easyweddings.com.au thats fairly good too and also before I forget theres the Wedding Expo on down at the Derwent Entertainment Centre I am pretty sure its the 15th May.
I am certainly planning on going to that

Thanks heaps, it's hard to know where to start, so just trying to find inspiration atm and get a general plan in my head
