2011 Brides- how far along are your plans?

Lola88, 5 December, 2009 at 17:50 Posted on Planning 0 17

All 2011 brides, how far along in your wedding plans have you gotten?

I'm not sure when I should be doing what to be honest, and if it was up to my mum it would all be organised by xmas! (She's brill really, just very excitable)

We've booked our venue, and been to a couple of wedding fayres, and that's it at the moment! I'm in no huge rush, but not sure when to start thinking about other stuff?

    Im a 2010 bride and i have to be honest its never too early to plan or book things, especialy if its something you know you want, i had pretty much everything sorted by May this year! the only thing is because ive been so 'on top of things' im now getting stuck in a lull ☹️

    Lola im getting married on 20th August 2010

    Happy planning ladies ?

    We managed to book our venue last week, just to get it done before xmas, it is so nice to have the date sorted now! At least you know where you want so you can get it done first thing in the new year...

    I'm not really sure where to start now, i think after xmas and new year is out of the way i'll start looking at dresses and other bits, just not sure which bits!

    I'm quite an organised person (comes as part of my job) but I don't want to get everything done and then it seem ages until the wedding actually arrives!

    I think I'll start in the new year thinking about other things....

    We're looking at July/Aug 2011 but are not going to see the venue until next March, so not booking anything until the venue is booked.

    Have been to one wedding fayre which was completely disappointed with, so gonna wait now until venue is booked.

    Up to now all we've done is book the venue. ?

    We pretty much have our guest list sorted but haven't sent out save the dates yet. Maybe should do that soon as our wedding is midweek so people will need time off work.

    I've got lots of ideas for everything such as colour themes, stationary, food, entertainment, dresses etc but just havent actually done much yet!

    LauraSJ, you're getting married just before me but you've done so much more!! Makes me feels like i should get going with things!!

    We're going to the Wedding Show at Newcastle at the end of January so hoping to really get started with the plans then!
