me!!!!!! 09 aug 2014 xxx

Me - although no date has been set yet!!

Lots of ideas running through my head though! xx

Yes!! hello!

we haven't booked yet but we have found our venue (99% sure) and we are hoping to go for 2nd August 2014 x

Me Nothing booked yet but looking at March 2014 ?

Eeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!! its so exciting!well girlies i hope all our planning goes well and we can help each other out over the next two years! I definitely need reigning in! i keep seeing loads of inspiration and ideas and want to do so many things and have to stop myself! xx

Yay... finally some 2014 brides! I thought I was being over-organised especially when people say "so when were you thinking" well 2014, "oh my you are forward planning".

Anyway hello fellow 2014 brides.

We think we have set our date: 5th April 2014. So the planning begins. Venue almost convinced with despite doubting a lot yesterday. Church still not sure on. Obsessed with decorations already. My sister wants to drag me out to try dresses on every time I see her (anyone think it's too early to start "looking" at least). So not much done really lol!

How far along this magical journey is everyone else? Have you chosen colours and themes?

iv booked my venue only coz you have to give 24 months notice cos its afootball club

Oh wow kathryn2010... that's long notice! What's next on your list of things to do now you have the venue?

Its never to early to try on dresses! ive been to about 6 different shops trying them on!!! cant get over the feeling of them on!! x

im not gonna try dresses yet!!!! next thing is too loose weight before i do start to try dresses on!!!!!!

Me too! 07 June 2014! Booked the church, starting our search for a reception venue on Sunday, so excited!!!

Another 2014 bridezilla here haven't booked anything yet but have a venue in mind and have my heart set on the 26th July 2014! We are just saving up the deposit for the venue and fingers crossed that date is available still (I'm guessing it will be what with me planning so early - silver lining!). Can't wait to try some dresses on!

Me, i'm a 2014 bride!!! Been engaged since 2009, but 2014 is coming round quick.

Found a venue that we both like, going to look round on sunday. Nothing booked as yet. ?

I get married this year, but I just wanted to say that my ticker had a similar amount of time left on it as yours does now when we first got engaged. Where did it go?!

Seriously though, it's never too early to plan. You have a relatively chilled out planning process ahead of you if you do little bits of it every now and again.

Thank you red baroness!!!!!! some times it cant be hard not being so impatient!

You just wait. Everyone says "Oh, the time will fly!". You will actually get pretty tired of hearing this over and over, but you know what, they're not wrong!

Hello 2014 brides. So happy to see this thread we are hoping to get married 26th july 2014

cant wait to see everyones plans unfold x

oh wow you are very organised!

Booked by venue for 2nd August 2014 :-) So happy with my venue and can't wait to get planning with everything else, but feel it's just soooooo early!

Meee nothing booked yet but we have finally decided on a date 26th July 2014 just need to find the perfect venue now xx

Wow! Can't believe there is already 2 people on this post with the same date as me & my H2B in mind!! I tried on my mum's wedding dress the other day & planning to go try on one of the dresses from the Benjamin Roberts 2012 collection... Saving for the deposit for the venue at the moment but still torn between our local church, Warwick Castle or just eloping to Las Vegas (although I don't think I'm quite brave enough to do it with so little family members there & to have to deal with the aftermath!)... Anyone else been doing any more planning for their 2014 wedding?

It makes me really tempted to try on dresses when people with dates after me have already started!!! So far I've booked the church, and the photographer. We've been to see 4 prospective reception venues so far, and I don't really like any of them... So we're off to see number 5 tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

I have no fashion sense so need to start early on the dress front haha, although I think the one I want to try on should suit me perfectly! Good luck on the reception search! I haven't been able to find any even just looking on the internet in the area where our families live & where we are originally from!

Have you looked through the venues on here in your area? That's where I found most of the ones I've looked at. I really hope the one we see tomorrow is nice! It looks beautiful on the website, just don't want to be disappointed!

Yeah, there isn't many and none of them looked great... There are plenty round where we live at the moment, just awkward for everyone else, so would mean coach hire. We haven't looked at any yet, just on websites but I hope when we do we're not disappointed either! Fingers crossed for you!

I thought I'd found my perfect venue when I looked at it's website. Absolutely had my heart set on it! Went to see it last month, and it was completely not what I imagined! Nothing like the website portrayed it to be. So it's worth going to see places with an open mind, and maybe going places where you've looked at the website and not liked much too.

I'll pop back tomorrow evening and let you know what happened at the viewing ? xxx

Just got back from the venue, so thought I'd let you know how I got on ?

It was just as lovely as I thought it was! Gorgeous rooms, loads of character, beautiful grounds, and the perfect size! The only thing that made me feel a bit weird was that the co-ordinator I saw said they don't have a diary for 2014 yet, there won't be one until July at the earliest, and that most people book it 6 months in advance!!! You what?! Do you know how much goes into planning a wedding?! But apart from that, it was absolutely perfect. I'm going to arrange to see one more venue before the end of this month, so we'll decide then which one we go for, but I'm so excited about todays!!!

Here's a flash of the outside...

Hooray! We're getting married in Sept 2014, a few things have been decided but nothing officially booked. We've changed our minds so much in the last year though so I'm glad we've got a while to go yet, as I'm sure things will change again!

It looks lovely & at least you know it won't get booked up for the date you want haha! Glad that you weren't disappointed by it though decided me and H2B are gonna go to the National Wedding Show next week, so hopefully I'll find some more inspiration for venues there!!

Have a fab time at NWS

Anyone else got anymore updates x

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum.

Paying our deposit hopefully on Wednesday to secure our venue - Sunday 29th June 2014.

Glad to see you are also organised Tinkytayls, I was worried I was planning too much!! People keep giving me strange looks when I say my wedding is 2014 when asking for info at wedding fairs!

Look forward to sharing ideas and seeing how we are all getting on!

Hiya!! Congratulations on your engagement and starting the wedding planning ?

Us 2014 brides actually have a Facebook group ? which is what the link is in my signature so join us there !!

There's also a 2014 bride date list but I'll have to find a link for that, unless it comes up in search?

I just ignore any strange looks or comments - 2014 isn't that far away to start planning for!! We went to one venue and they were already booked for the date we wanted!!
