Operation Bridal Storm

Planned with military precision, everything is under control and you know exactly what is left to be done.  You like being organised and frankly, if you do it, you know you’ll do it right.

Your checklists are checked, you schedule is up-to-date and tomorrow you’ll start following up on the RSVPs you haven’t had.  (What is wrong with these people?  Even a simple sms would do!)

Operation Bridal Storm

Planned with military precision, everything is under control and you know exactly what is left to be done.  You like being organised and frankly, if you do it, you know you’ll do it right.

Your checklists are checked, you schedule is up-to-date and tomorrow you’ll start following up on the RSVPs you haven’t had.  (What is wrong with these people?  Even a simple sms would do!)

There’s still a hell of lot to be done, and you don’t want to run out of steam.  So what about you?

Could you do a little more energy?  More stamina and vitality?  How about improved memory and concentration?

Perhaps we could throw in healthier skin, hair and nails; a strengthened immune system; relief from fatigue and exhaustion; decreased stress levels; and an even an improved metabolism.

Herbology Stress Tonic won’t plan your wedding for you, but you can rely on it to deliver!

WIN IT WITH BRIDES BUZZING
We’ve got four Herbology hampers to give away, each including; Herbology Stress Tonic, Herbology Multivit for Women and Herbology Calcium

To enter, simply fill in the entry form by clicking here and earn DOUBLE POINTS by commenting on this page before the 13th September 2010.

Please note this competition is only open to South African residents and winners will be announced on the 15th September 2010.

So there are only three weeks to go and your bridesmaid has just got engaged herself and suddenly she’s more interested in her own wedding than helping you plan yours.  Your dress is still nowhere close to ready, but if you don’t lose that last 2 kg it won’t matter anyway since you’ll look like a house in it.

The man of your dreams has suddenly developed an opinion when you least want it and insists you ask his niece to be a flower girl when you know she is too young, and you’ve just realised that your mother was right about the table gifts and now you’ve blown the budget.

Its been  a while since we posted a real wedding on BridesBuzzing.com, but this one had such fabulous decor, we just couldn’t resist!

“I just wanted to share some pics of my amazing day with all the other brides out there. I planned a lot and found it difficult to find good inspiration out there with wedding mags being so expensive. I got married at Shepstone Gardens in Johannesburg with By Word of Mouth doing my food, flowers and decor.” Michelle

It has come to our attention that the comments feature on Bridesbuzzzing is being used (without even relating to topics) to post slander comments about venues. Bridesbuzzing is not the place to post your negative comments, we provide our blogs for brides to interact with each other and share the joy of their wedding day. This is not the place to bad mouth anyone, especially if your comment doesn’t even relate to the topic!

Unfortunately this misuse of our blog and comments has forced us to moderate all comments before approving them.

We do understand that many of you have problems with venues, and we encourage you to take them up with the venue or post on a website like hellopeter.com.
