    I feel so behind. My date is Oct 13th and all I have is the church and colors. I just hired a planner because I couldn't decide on a reception venue. I also can't decide on a dress. So much I don't even know about weddings.

    Wow!! Everyone looks at mr like im crazy when I talk about all the vendors I've booked but you make me feel very sane. I like that. Its not crazy at all to be prepared. I have booked my reception hall, church, officiant, doc, photographer, videographer, and event designer. I found my dress, im waiting for it to arrive. Im in the process of booking my dj, flourist and mua. Still researching limo and hairstyles. My entire weddibg party is set. By God's grace everything seems to be moving along well.
    Oh and my fiancé is soo supportive and helpful. Im blessed. 😊

    So far I've got:

    Ceremony and reception in one place (includes catering, bar, wedding coordinator)

    DJ

    Photographer

    Dress ordered

    shoes

    Engagement Pics

    Save the dates our done, addressed and just needs to be mailed out, plan on doing that tomorrow!

    We have centerpieces but still not certain on them.

    cake

    hair and make up booked

    wedding bands just need to be picked up


    I am feeling pretty good about where I am in planning , as much as I want to be married I do wish time would slow down, seems like these months are flying by. I don't want to start feeling like omg its almost here and feel like I still need to do so much!

    still need:

    to block hotels we've finally decided on one just need to call back.

    dresses for the bridal party

    order tux for groom and groomsmen

    pick and order formal invite

    Veil

    florist ( going to meet with one this month) and hopefully have one picked out by end of March

    I'm sure I need much more but can't think of anything else I need right now.

    Hello Hello!

    Our date is 10/27/18, I am all over the place with this... haha!

    Booked the following but need to stay pay in full! 😅

    💘Venue, but need to make a decision on the type of dishes. Scheduling with wedding planner for tastings.
    💘2 photographers, but need to get them a list of family groupings and photo ideas
    💘 1 videographer, but need to figure out full details
    💘did my own engagement photos just need to edit them and make save the dates to send out... still finalizing who to invite
    💘 tried a bunch of different cakes but trying a few more this month, final decision in March
    💘 decided on wedding party but just need to announce and wrap gifts
    💘 decided on wearing my mom's dress but still need her to be okay with it being altered a bit. Have a back up in case this falls though. My back up is keeping my dress under $300!!! Woot woot!!
    💘 DJ is set but still need to get a list of songs that must be played during dances, etc, etc
    💘 Decorations for reception are half way complete, just some here and there things in the works
    💘 bridal party gifts on the day of the wedding will need to be ordered/sorted out with personalized things.
    💘 Flowers... still undecided but wedding colors and roses are at least checked off! 🤣

    I think that is all that needs to be done.... probably missing a few other things.... I am sure it will be brought up eventually.
