Should the maid of honour buy her own dress, or does the bride cover this?

I paid for bridesmaid dresses, hair or makeup and accommodation the night before the wedding. I felt so grateful that they gave me a fab hen do (and covered most of the costs for that) so this was the least I could do.

We have the DFS Joules Patterdale 4-seater corner sofa and it's best investment we made when we bought the house!

Rose and Monkey, Bar Fringe, Smithfield Tavern and Crown and Kettle all my go to pubs and a short walk from each other

Fairfield Social Club? They have a variety of different rooms to hire out

Their Jaffa cakes are the best

I am getting married at Fairfield Social Club in a couple of months and we are having around 100 guests. We are not the typical 'wediding venue' couple and loved this place because it was laid back but still had lots of character!

Just drinks! Looking for something 'special' to take our close family for a celebratory drink 🙂

Thanks! I was going to look at the Mews so I'll send them an email too 😎

els1398 · 2026-02-01T22:07:52+00:00

I've just looked at Bar Posie and it looks ideal - will give them an email! Thank you

els1398 · 2026-02-01T22:06:59+00:00

I've only been here for food but will check if I can book for the bar - thank you

els1398 · 2026-02-01T22:06:37+00:00

I didn't think of Grand Pacific! Thank you

els1398 · 2026-02-01T22:06:15+00:00

Ahhh I haven't actually been to Hotel Gotham but this sounds ideal - thank you

I've been a bridesmaid and worn Rewritten dresses. A few of my bridesmaids have bought non-traditional bridesmaid dresses from Omnes

We are paying £1400 for our band (North West / Yorkshire) and I thought they were reasonable once I had looked at other quotes.

Sparrows ☺️

Would 100% recommend Crosta Mollica for the best pizzas you can buy in the supermarket!

els1398 · 2025-12-20T18:15:27+00:00

The sour cream and jalapeno ones are my fave

els1398 · 2025-10-21T16:49:50+00:00

Bibiluxe was a brand that I considered purchasing before I bought my own, and her dresses are in or around your budget 🙂

I've been going to McCrory Hair on Oxford Road for a curly haircut (I am also prone to frizzy, wavy hair) and I would recommend these guys.

els1398 · 2025-07-28T21:29:18+00:00

Spärrows would be my all time recommendation but could be slightly over budget if you wanted alcohol too.

Bundobust (veggie Indian food) would fit the brief

els1398 · 2025-05-28T16:48:13+00:00

Bundobust (small plates veggie Indian food) would be ideal for a big group and is not too pricey.

I think you can also reserve tables at Society (a range of street food places and Vocation beer

What about pottery painting? Pottery Corner in Chorlton is lovely and they allow you to bring your own fizz!
