    Wedding Venue
    Wedding Party
    Wedding Colors
    Family is cooking
    Dress fitting on the 25th(YAY!!!)
    DJ
    Save the dates went out (got them out early we have alot of out of town guest)
    Wedding website up (being updated as needed)
    Bridesmaids Dresses picked
    I have an officiant in mind

    Still need a photographer, engagement shoot, honeymoon plans, and to get the groom and Groomsmen attire. I feel like I'm forgetting something though...

    Happy planning!!!!

    Well...

    So far we have booked our venue which doubles for both ceremony and reception.

    Cake has been ordered

    bridal party has been arranged (there will be two for each of us).

    My bridesmaids have have already paid for and ordered their dresses.

    My my friend Jen is currently working on blocking our hotels.

    I work in entertainment so so I am blessed to have so many people offer services as wedding gifts! My Officient is a friend, videoohraphy, and makeup artistry are all being offered as gifts! I feel incredibly blessed because al are masters of their fields.

    I am am meeting with the dress designer in a week to start my dress.

    Our wedding will will be in Ohio but we live in Atlanta Georgia. So we are going up this week to do our menu tasting.

    I still have NOT found a photographer or DJ. Those are the two primary concerns.

    Hello, fellow October Brides!

    So far I have booked or decided on the following:

    - venue

    - colors ( couldn't decide on an actual theme; just wanted the wedding and reception to be elegant )

    - photographer

    - makeup artist

    - officiant ( my cousin )s

    - singer ( my uncle will sing as I walk down the aisle )

    - just got my dress this past weekend! I had a real "Say Yes to the Dress" crying moment

    My next goals to tackle are securing a caterer ( my biggest headache because they are expensive here) a cake bake, and deciding on my bridesmaids and flower girls/ junior bridesmaid's dresses!


    Smiley smile
