2011 brides where are you up to?

I'm March 2011. So far I have...

My dress (still waiting for it to come in shop and have first fitting)

Ordered suits

Bridesmaid dresses (all need altering)

Flowergirl dresses

Registrar booked

Venue booked

Honeymoon booked

Magician (not chessy one - amazing card tricks etc) booked

Harpist booked

Centrepieces bought

Still to do - Hair and make up, accessories, shoes, presents, flowers, cake, chair covers, favours, rings, invites, stationary, still feel like i have loads to do....

I think when you have your dress, everything else will follow!

Ahhhh! I feel really disorganised now having read that list!?

I have........

booked flights

sent an enquiry to our photographer of choice

reserved rooms at the wedding hotel for our guests (all 4 of them!?)

and........

....that's about it! Though to be fair, I'm not sure there's that much more to do except sort out our notice of marriage - the planners should do most of the running from here on in

I'm March too...

I have...

Booked Church

Booked Venue

Bought Dress & Shoes (now fully customised!)

Bought Table Centrepieces

...

I keep having a heart attack each time I see my ticker!!!

0_o eeeep... I'm supposed to be a September 2011 bride but we have NOTHING in place yet >_<

Still trying to find our venue, so then we can start on everything else. Hoping to have it within the month. I'm getting tired of looking and feeling like I've done nothig..

Visited the florist who advised me go to back in Jan - so I will be looking elsewhere

Chosen attendants suits but not yet booked.

Got some table favours

Sent out save the dates

Chosen our wedding rings, but don't want to buy yet incase my finger become smaller when I slim down and we are gradually saving for h2Bs ring as it's a lot more expensive than mine

We also have an appointment with photographer on 17 July..

So all good - but loads to go!

Little fluff...I'm in Surrey (woking area).

Our magician is costing us £180 but we already know him (partner has the occasional beer with him) so that's mates rates, not sure how much he is normally, probably in the £300 - £350 region so quite expensive, I wouldnt be having him if we had to pay that much as we are on a tight budget. We're not having many kids at our wedding so he might do a tiny bit for my little flowergirls like balloons etc, but mainly it's for the adults. He does all the amazing tricks with a pack of cards. He'l be going up to people during drinks reception and was planning on going round the tables between courses. Hope this helps xx

- Bought dress, veil & tiara

- Draft guest list (very draft though!)

- Talked to florist (not firm booking but it is the church florist so shouldn't be a problem)

- Booked honeymoon

- Debated over music and readings for the ceremony!

- Sorted favours (OH's mum makes honey and my mum makes jams & marmalade so asked each of them to make us a batch & fill some mini jars which we will label up & place on tables for guests)

Wow some of you are amazingly organised!! - My next job is to sort out the bridesmaids dresses, I have seven of them so will be a big part of the budget sorted once that's done. Can't get them all together until end of September though - only 7 months before - so hope that is enough time for the dresses to come in! Also want to get rings sorted soon.

? - i'm finished...... Little bit OCD of me, but as soon as the venue was booed in January i went on a rampage booking everything just so that i knew i had everything sorted and booked for the date!!!
