July-august 2021 Brides

August 2021 bride. I'm close to booking my all inclusive venue (catering, cake, DJ/photo booth, linens, etc.), have booked photographer/ videographer, purchased and received samples of the faux flowers I will be using to decorate and have for my bouquet and bridal party, etc., purchased mother/father and bridesmaids gifts, made a dress appointment and engagement photo shoot appointment, and have all favors selected and waiting for final guest count to be solid before purchase (plus a few extras in case). Have save-the-dates and invitations picked out, bit waiting on engagement photos to add that special touch to them. We originally thought of a destination wedding but that fell through last min so we're doing something local and will honeymoon in Hawaii. My FH has my rings (his grandmother's rings are being past down to him to give to me) but I'm definitely going to be scoping out black friday deals for his ring which means I need to drag him a couple places to get him sized in case I go with a blue nile ring.

Hi there! I'm a July bride. So far we've booked a caterer, florist, rental company (tables &chairs etc), cake artist, hair and makeup, I have my wedding dress, and my bridal jewelry, and an air bnb for the bridal party as well as a separate air bnb for the grooms party.


We don't need to book a venue since we're getting married at my finances uncles property, we have a photographer who is a friend of ours. Currently we are planning a trip to Oregon (where we are getting married) in January to meet with vendors. And we've settled on a design for Save the Dates and wedding Invitations. The Save the Dates will be going out shortly.

Wooww.... I am a July Bride and I feel like I haven't done much because I am worried about Covid. I have the venue and the caterer, but no Dj or photographer yet. I picked my first dress and I'm still searching for a second dress. We haven't bought our bands yet.... sigghh🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ lol

View Quoted Comment Hey Kristen! I live in NJ, and a lot of venues are offering virtual tours I’ve also toured and inquired with more venues that I could even count so if there’s anything I can do to help I’m here!

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into the virtual tours, that sounds perfect! Do you have any venues that stood out to you or had covered, outdoor spots for ceremonies that you enjoyed? I would love to look into those!

View Quoted Comment Our plan B is to still get married as well. We are not postponing we will probably cut the guest list if we need to. Good luck!

July 2021!! I have my venue, DJ, Florist, ceremony officiant, hair stylist and my dress!! I am still looking for a photographer since we decided to not use the one for our engagement shoot. I also need a videographer. I have narrowed down my choices for make up artists.

July 2021 bride here. We have venue (food/bar is included), hotel block, photographer, videographer, DJ, photobooth, baker, florist, salon, and my dress. I had a very hard time finding a salon as they are booking up fast (especially with postponements). I would not wait if I were you! The only thing I am holding off on is invitations (just incase we need to cut the list).

View Quoted Comment Hi!


Same here, July 2021 and I am so anxious about what is going to happen. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t want a bunch of photos of everyone wearing masks at my wedding that’s not how I want to remember it... I’m still planing as normal and hoping for the best. Got venue, DJ, photographer, caterer, and my dress.

So far we accomplish a lot we have our venue booked our ceremony it was both the caterers book the L Baker is booked I have a musician is booked our photographs book so now we just look into centerpieces and flowers I am Tessa and soon home we would be picking up the dresses and everything it’s going pretty good

July Bride here ! We have our venue,officiant,DJ, photographer, and my dress. I feel super behind. My wedding is in Texas and im trying to plan it from Alabama. Im also struggling with the decision to move my wedding inside or keep it outside (just the ceremony) . i know it will be hot but the outside area is GORGEOUS. Any advice ?

View Quoted Comment Thanks! Same to you girl!! ☺️

Planning has been going great! Wedding is July 2, 2021!

Have venues (ceremony and reception different locations), day of coordinator, pre-wedding prep room, decorator, photographer, videographer, and ceremony set-up and breakdown crew.

Still have more to go, but the big stuff is coming together

View Quoted Comment Hi,
I see your think of Hawaii for your wedding. I had also planned on a Hawaiian wedding and got to signing with a venue before having to cancel due to my FH's father not being able to fly that far. If you wanted a venue to look into try Sugar Beach Events on Maui - they have beach wedding and Kristen the coordinator is phenomenal. Happy planning!

Hey y’all!


July 2021 Bride here!! We are a littler nervous as well thinking about COVID. We’re thinking if we have to our favors will turn into giving guest a mask with our date on it and mini hand sanitizer with a personalized label. I hope we dont have to reduce our guest list. All of my family will have to travel from out of state.
We have our venue, cater, photographer, videographer, florist booked. In the process of finalizing the Dj. I have my dresses and selected bridesmaids dresses. He’s finalizing the tuxedos. Invitation order needs to be done.
Is anyone having a bridal shower or just a drive by shower ??

View Quoted Comment I agree I don’t want pictures wearing a mask 🤦🏾‍♀️

View Quoted Comment We did virtual tours at first as well and then we researched on YouTube to see if couples uploaded their highlight of the wedding at the venues we were interested in.
