Hi Hunter Brides,

Have you seen the 2012 'colour of the year'? It is the vibrant Tangerine Tango.

It is a perfect feature colour to team with ivory, chocolate browns, gold and even other bright colours like pink and aqua. Try a 'graduating' colour scheme by using different shades of tangerine and orange for impact.

We have put together a little selection of some Tangerine Tango inspiration which can be viewed via facebook here:

Also check out the Tangerine, Ivory and Chocolate mood board we have put together here:

I am after recommendations for catering in the Maitland/Hunter Valley area for our wedding.

Also if there are no ovens/cool room on site do i have to hire these or do caterers supply this?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Juliebean201, sorry for the delay in reply, wedding season is hectic!

Have you browsed the photographers on Hunter Bride? Here is s link to the directory: http://www.hunterbride.com.au/directory/wedding-photography.html

We have personally worked with a number of these photographers and highly recommend their work. Best advice is to have a few send through their packages so you can set your budget before going to consultations.

As for wedding rings most local jewellers stock wedding rings in a large range of styles and prices. But some like Whitakers Jewellers in Newcastle also custom design and make,

Hope this has given you a big of information to kick-start your planning. Good luck and if you need any advice during the planning feel free to ask and share here on the Hunter Bride Forum!

Congratulations, Tanya. You are right. Sometimes it is just fate. My fiance and me plan to be wed in June of 2013.

I myself just got engaged. We are currently working on choosing the right date, with June of course being the busiest month of the year. It's going to be hard to decide.

Oh, and believe me. I also am planning a budget wedding. Did you set a date yet?

This will come in handy for me at some point soon. I also am looking for photographers and/or wedding ring suppliers. If anyone has any ideas please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi topicyang

I had a similar request on the forum a little earlier. Although I have never booked a 'specialised MC' as many family members/friends or the DJ usually do the job I have found a few websites you could check out:

http://www.mcdownunder.com/
http://www.cc-hunterentertainment.com.au/

All the best,
Teagan

Hi Brides to be!!!!

Hope every one is enjoying this gorgous weather!!!!

Its all very exciting, recently i was asked to be a bridesmaid for a dear friend!!!!
Our weddings are only 100 days apart or so, which is good but its hard cause i want to throw around ideas too but i cant lol

Ive never been a bridesmaid before, i loved trying on all the dresses

In other news, im waiting ever so patiently to see some photos of some fake flowers im considering... Has anyone else found the prices of real flowers are outragous??

much love!!
ciao Maggie

Our invites are all booked and paid for!!!! :-D They are stunning!!!! We got them from the write invite in newcastle, near all the bridal shops... great price and stunning!!!
But another dilemma!!! What to have printed on the invites??
Do go tradtional? Do we try to be clever with a little verse?
After all the invites have to indicate that its for an engagement party not a wedding.. hence the surprise lol

Does anyone know of a good website that has wording to choose from??

Less than 11 months to go!! Its coming around so quickly!!!!

Hope everyones plans are coming along beautifully!!!

Ciao Maggie

How are all you lovely brides to be?!?!?

I have been floored with a bad virus but nothing a few cups of tea and bridal mags didnt fix oh and some strong antibiotics lol

My MOH and i met and confirmed with our decorator the change from silver to the champagne colour.. which it turms out to be alot softer then gold.. its actually called Latte.. and its GORGOUS!!! Then we went to bunnings and brought 4 mirror tiles for $19 for the centre peices to sit on and they are perfect!! not to big and not to small!!!!

Less than 12 months to the big day!! Getting very excited and we have so much more in the works as well!!!

Much love Ciao , Maggie

Hi Teagan!!
First of all THANKYOU for the colour board!!! I would have NEVER NEVER NEVER have even contemplated peach as a colour!!! It has opened up all new ideas for me now!! Poor Trent is copping a lot of "what do you think of thins, and what about that... lol

As for flowers, the search is still on, one florist has told me im looking at at least $4 PER tulip...
I have met a lady that does stunning false flowers.. Im considering white roses for the girls and tulips for me.. she said they come in a latex which is life like to touch and i dont have to worry about them dropping either!!
She is getting stick in the next few months so i guess i will wait and see if they are any good!!

Again Teagan.. THANKYOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!

Hi Maggie - I have done a quick board up for you. I haven't included table settings, etc as I don't know what your plans are. But I think the main thing is not to go overboard on any particular colour, just use them to complement each other. Also, a peach bridesmaids dress with a black sash would look awesome in this colour scheme!

Click here to check it out. Cheers!

Hi Maggie,

I noticed on a post earlier you were worried about the cost of flowers...
Could I suggest simple posy's of tulips for your bouquets? Yours could be a bit larger and the bridesmaids have just a few tulips tied with ribbon.
Trent and groomsmen could then have a simple tulip buttonhole.
They come in so many colours (cream and peach are gorgeous) and can be used closed or slightly open for a more natural look. See a pic here
