Okay, so I still have over a year to plan, but I'm trying to get as much done sooner rather than later because we have super busy summers as it is and I know next summer will be insane trying to button things up for our October wedding. Plus my fiancé is like rarely home during the summer so it's nice to have stuff for me to focus on while he's gone.
So far we have:
- venue
- caterer
- photographer
- videographer
- officiant
- makeup/hair
- DJ
- DOC
- most attire, my dress is ordered, FH has an idea of what he and the groomsmen will be wearing, I know the color and fabric of my BM's dresses but won't look with them until later this year/early next year, I know what ring bearer will be wearing & have a decent idea for flower girl but we're waiting to order until the last possible minute since they're growing
- invitations, I'm a graphic designer so they were like the first things made lol
- a friend of one of the bridesmaids may be doing our flowers, but all of the other floral shops in the area can't do a consult with me until 7-8 months out so that's on hold
What else can I do to keep busy and get things in order? We're planning on decorating with real and fake pumpkins, so come fall I'll be looking into getting some of those for centerpieces. Others with a long engagement, did you feel like there was a long lull in planning as you got most things together?
