Where are you getting married?

[IRockedTheFrock]

Hi Soph

Were getting married at The Waterside House Hotel in Donabate do you know it? Its on the beach Where are you getting married?

[Soph11]

I do ive heard its fab!! I bet you cant wait, once the hen is over the last few weeks are going to rocket. We are getting married down in Kerry I cant believe how quickly its come about.

[IRockedTheFrock]

Oh god I know, I cant believe how fast it has all rolled in. Have you got your dress yet? Mine still hasnt come in and it needs loads of altarations so I'm getting a bit panicky!

[Soph11]

Yep, depending on the alterations im going to be collecting it on Friday. Try not to worry too much, the alterations can be turned around very quickly - is it mainly length and a few tweaks ? I wouldnt worry hun,, you still have loads of time, i didnt start my alterations till about 2 weeks ago.

[IRockedTheFrock]

Ha I wish! Its length, width, straps need sewing on, neckline is straight across but I want it cut into a sweetheart neckline (they promised it could be done), also the dress is kind of tiered and draped on the skirt and I'm quite short so they need to adjust it to make it look ok with my proportions if you get me. I suppose I'm just anxious about it cuz I'm finished everything else and that is the last thing to get done but one of the most important! Did you still love your dress when it came in? I'm nervous about seeing it again since a year has gone by!

[Soph11]

thats a good bit alright haha, but dont worry it will be in super soon. Where did you get it ? It took a while for mine to come in and i was quite wound up until it did but i had nothing to worry about, it came in and its all sorted and yours will be the same.

Yep still love it, and i cant wait to see it this week as its the first time ill really see it with the length and how ill probable look on the day, so im a TAD SUPER excited haha.

I was nervous too, but dont worry that will all vanish once its on you and you see it again :0)

Hi roc thefroc so sorry but I'm seriously hijacking post here! We have booked waterside house aswell for march 2013 just wondering how you have got on with them and any tips you have with dealing with them!?

[IRockedTheFrock]

Ah Sadlier they are amazing. So nice! We have had no trouble whatsoever. At one point there was a bit of confusion on room pricing for the guests but they explained how it worked and that was grand. Paul is fab and so helpful. We found our dj and our minister through his recommendation. They will do anything you ask them to do and basically give you free reign on how you want the day to go. I am just so happy I booked there. We go up to the hotel every now and then for lunch or a cuppa if we are out on a drive and they always chat to us for ages. Paul comes over and sits at the table with you for a good oul natter. Its so personal. You have no worries with them hun you will love it. Also we went out there on day and there happened to be another wedding on and Paul was all dressed up in a morning suit for the occasion! He said he does it for every wedding. He gets all the staff to make the effort. How nice is that?!

[sadlier86]

I've being dealing with Jessica and she is really really nice!! Lovely to hear of someone having a good experience too!! We went for the all inclusive package and are loving all our suppliers!! The hotel is such a beautiful setting never dreamed I'd be getting married by the beach!! Are you getting married from home or from the hotel!? Have been to lunch there a couple of times now and staff are always so friendly and food seems really good from what I've had off the lunch menu!!

[IRockedTheFrock]

Yeah Jessica is great too , obviously she is the wedding coordinator so we go through her with wedding stuff. Paul is the manager and owners son (I'm sure but don't quote me) and I just find him so nice and down to earth for a hotel manager. He's great Craic too. Do you live out that way? Were in tallaght. Were having the ceremony in the hotel. Were all staying in the hotel the night before the wedding so we don't have to worry about travelling there if the weather is bad or snowing. Gona be brill!

[sadlier86]

Living in Castleknock but going to be getting married from the hotel too. Getting married in the church in Donabate. Going to have hair and makeup come to the hotel the morning of the wedding. Likewise we are all going to be in the hotel the Friday night too, my family are from Tipp and Kerry and h2bs are English so looking forward to having everyone together the night before, families prob won't have met until then!! Fell in love with the room when I saw it done up the fairylight back drop is fab!! And the view from the bridal suite wow!!!! Are you having many guests?

[IRockedTheFrock]

Were having about 90. The room is a lovely size. It was one of my main factors when i was looking around. I wanted a room that wasn't enormous but still big enough for 100 or so guests. . I wanted it to feel busy and full. I love the little section at the back where the cake goes too And the food is Devine. We had our tasting a few wks ago and were given a 5 course meal each for free!!we couldn't believe it, we were expecting a few small portions to share.

[sadlier86]

Saw it dressed for 120 and was still plenty of room so was delighted as that's the numbers we are hoping for, finding it hard to keep the list under control I'm amazed at the amount of people who assume they are invited!! Oh sounds lovely can't wait until we get to that stage seems so far away. I have so many plans in my head all that's missing is the money save save save ; ) are you using mobile hairdressers etc or local salons?
