I know its a long time, but 500 days until our wedding! We have our venue, florist and photographer booked, centerpieces are made, I have save the dates already but won't be sending those for awhile now. I still need hair/makeup, dress, shoes, accessories. Groom still needs all his attire but there...

I know its a long time, but 500 days until our wedding! We have our venue, florist and photographer booked, centerpieces are made, I have save the dates already but won't be sending those for awhile now. I still need hair/makeup, dress, shoes, accessories. Groom still needs all his attire but there is still plenty of time. How many days out is everyone else? What do you already have booked, and what do you still have left to do?

    Because I wanted a tea length dress, I didn't have a lot of choices that suited me. No strapless or big ass puffy skirt, thankyouverymuch. 🤣🤣 And despite the suggestion of looking at MOB dresses, they looked like what they were - for mom. I saw the dress on line and was totally in love when it came. As for you, I suggest looking at the dresses you currently own and nothing which ones you feel the most comfortable and beautiful in. Wear it to the bridal shop and tell them you want a gown with similar lines or style.
    I love the honey favor! I had to be real mindful of the fact that 90% of our guests will be flying in from other areas, so it had to be packable.

    Most of my guests are local so honey it is! We are getting married on an Apple orchard so it works well. I think I like more a-line, and def want lace of some kind. But I’m open to trying anything! But i feel like flowy a-line would fit nicely with what I’m going for. I'm obsessed with this Mori Lee dress

    No it’s not! But we aren’t touring that venue 😂 haha. The food was cheaper but the overall vibe from photos doesn’t math what we want. The one’s were touring are the one that’s $18.50 and then ones that are between $96-110 per person. So far our guest list is 100 and we aren’t getting married for over a year and a half. The drinks are separate from that here and all range from an additional 20-40 per person depending.

    We started at 730 days. Then postponed and it was 850 days. Now we’re FINALLY at 26. It came faster than I thought, even with the extra 4 months! Congratulations and best wishes getting everything together!

    We're 454 days out. We have venue (which includes food/drink), photography, videography, photo booth, dj, and florist booked. I have a couple appointments lined up for trying on dresses. I blocked rooms at a hotel. Our florist is doing centerpieces, so I am just doing decor for ceremony and the sweetheart table. I already purchased most of the stuff for the sweetheart table. I'm at a point where I've gotten most of the big things we want, so other than an officiant and ceremony music, I'm going to relax because everything else is smaller details that i have plenty of time to order and plan and put together.

    It's really nice to have a lot of the big things out of the way! I still don't know who will all be wanting to stay in a hotel guest wise besides my MOH and BM since they are out of state - everyone else is fairly local. Also getting married on a Sunday so I don't expect people to take off work monday after

    I'm from Nebraska but my fiance's from NJ where we currently live. So almost all of my family and friends will be flying in and need hotel rooms, so I knew I wanted to do a room block ASAP. Most of his family is almost an hour from the venue and told us they'd probably get a hotel that night as well.
