2014 Brides!

Hi Ladies

We are getting married 30th August 2014! So far we have booked the venue and church and booked a photographer. We are looking at car prices at the moment so that will be the next thing to book then im going to leave everything for a bit.

We are on a tight budget too so booking early means I get time to check everyones prices and choose the one thats best rather than not having the choice and having to pay whatever they decide to charge!

We have booked 12th July 2012... Haven't spotted any date twins yet!!!

So far I the materials for the invites, family member doing photography, some table decorations bought and bridesmaids mum is making the cake. Apart from that haven't done much else yet. Am aiming to get some emails fired off to the caterers this weekend. Just taking a leisurely stroll doing a bit every month...

I've booked... Since last march, hair & makeup, church, 2 venues, chair covers and sashes, starlight curtain, table draping, cake, photograpger, videographer, rings, wall draping & uplighters for the second venue, LED dance floor, DJ, CentrePieces for venue 2, Photobooth, candy cart, favours, bar hire for venue 2 and transport. Still have lots to do and just over a year to go... Haven't done bad :-) most of it I booked through my group I created with a supplier so getting prices were a little easier as the suppliers where very competitive with the prices haha.. No better than making them fight for the custom ;-) x

You have lots of date twins on here! Have a look on the 2014 date list (link in my sig) ?

I know.. I've seen :-) and is already joined the Facebook group back in September last year.. I hear a June bride is a bride forever :-) x

just noticed wasn't for me haha

OH's parents are a bit like that.

I'm not sure whether it's a generation thing or whether it's because weddings seem to have become bigger than they used to be or something so they don't understand that things get booked quickly?

Our tog had another couple looking to book the same date as us and that was months ago. Our togs are actually friends and we said there and then to tell the other couple they were already booked as we wanted them! And I'm meeting a florist tomorrow who reccomends booking a year beforehand otherwise she can get booked up.

Really? My florist told me to come back end of summer so she can get valentines. Mother's Day and Easter out of the way - would think they'd want the money aye??

Hello

12th September 2014 is my big day! We have the venue, and florist booked. Have chosen cake, have a meeting with potential photographer in a couple of weeks, going wedding dress shopping in May! I worry about buying centre piece, invite etc bits and pieces in case I change my mind as still have a year and a half to go! X

Hi everyone. I've booked mine for August 4th, 2014 (only 3 days after my birthday, meep). We're getting married in Las Vegas so needed the extra time to give people chance to save up for the trip.

So far we've booked the Little White Chapel (with Elvis to seranade lol), I've bought my ring, a clutch bag, a pair of sunglasses and our wedding favours. A real mishmash of things, I know, but I just can't help myself.

Hi, we've booked for 2014 as well (sort of!). We've put a provisional booking on our venue for 21st June and I just need to go and double check with the registrars on Monday and get them booked too. It makes it all seem a lot more real once you start thinking about booking things!

I'm getting married 12th July 2014 and so far we have booked our;

- Church
- Reception (includes food, DJ, chair covers and sashes, table covers and venue flowers)
- Photographer
- Cars (Vintage 1937 Rolls royce for me and E type Jaguar for the H2B)
- Paid 50% of my dress, veil, shoes and tiara
- Cakemaker
- Harpist for reception
- Flowers (H2B dad used to be a florist so hes is doing all my bridal party flowers, button holes, church flowers and co-ordernating with the reception to have the same flowers there and flowers come in out reception price)


My advise start now... We have found that 2014 is going to be a big year for weddings and loads of companies are booking up fast we had 4/5 cakemakers turn us down as they where fully booked and we couldnt have the 1930 RR as the couple that own them has another wedding on the same day and the other wedding booked the older car.

I am slowing down now that all the big stuff is done or i will end up having my whole wedding planned by christmas =P

Date twin ^_^

It's nice to know I'm not alone with how much I've booked. On this Facebook group most haven't even booked much and I feel like I've booked to much but I can sit back and relax without worry how am I going to pay for it all last minute :-) I've been good though and haven't booked anything in the last month but its so tempting... Still have alot to do but always panicking I won't have much time

ahhh scared me with the advice ?

we have:

venue

registrar

save the dates

my dress

suit hire

started making out invites

photographer

videographer

think that's it... Next up will be string quartet, flowers, bridesmaid dress and cakes. Don't need cars, as I'm staying at the venue the night before and OH is borrowing someone's to drive himself. We found that some of the venues were booked for "our date" and this was back at the start of 2012!!! Everything else has been fine, I have to reassure myself that loads,of people get married within 6 months of getting engaged so we still have ages!!

Gone a little quiet in here... I found the dress the other day and have ordered it, it's so exciting

Hey everyone!

Me & my fiancee have bookd our wedding for 27/9/2014 and only thing we have to get is our outfits >..We booked everything in a couple if weeks..We have 4 children so we wanted to make sure we werent short on xmas/birthdays as 2 of our littlests are 2 & 3 weeks before xmas

What else have others got to do? xx

Ive still got quite a lot of the little things to do, but I'm not stressing until a bit closer to the time now - we're July ?, been planning for over a year now, but just little bits at a time!

My big day is 26th October 2014 and I totally understand about getting carried away! It's so difficult to stop yourself booking everything now!

Totally agree with the generation thing though, I do think times have changed and you do have to plan things much earlier now whereas I don't think that was the case years ago. My dad really doesnt understand the forward planning and thinks it can be done the week before!!

Booked for 25 October 2014......already found my dress, band and venue......I can't stop! xxx

I dunno though, my mum got married 22 years ago and said she had a right kerfuffle getting everything available on the same day venue, church, cars etc. I think it's just easy to forget over time ? luckily my mum has understood how much everything costs, but my dad has been surprised! They're paying for our tog & I was really worrying they'd think it was too much!

I'm 31st July 2014 and so far got my venue, tog, shoes and registrar sorted, but that's it!

Haven't even been dress shopping yet

Lol,Only thing ive gotta get is my dress, my litttle daughters dress & finacee's suit Im going to try on some dresses this weekend so i know the right shape for me Sooo excited!! xxx

I'm so behind! We're getting married 11th October 2014 and I've got nothing officially booked yet! Hoping to hear from registrar today to pencil in our ceremony time and pay the booking fee, then I can go and pay the deposit for the venue! Excited!

Hello,

I'm getting married on 28/06/2014

Booked registry office, wedding breakfast venue, bought my dress, tiara, booked wedding cake lady, photographer, flowers and know who is gonna make my invites lol

I'm on the ball at the moment lol

I think we probably have much more choice now. So we need longer to see the wood from the trees, otherwise your head would explode LOL
Happy Planning

I am feeling like I am making real progress this last week, I can now see how it will all plan out. Does anyone feel like this yet?

This week I have booked the registrar and ordered favour bags and sorted the labels to seal them

So now I am organised for July wedding with so far:

• Venue booked and deposit paid
• Caterers booked and deposit paid (I had a recommendation last week from someone who has used these before after I had booked so feeling pretty positive about them now)
• Registrar booked and deposit paid
• TOG emailed but family member so this is sorted anyway
• Handmade invitations in progress, inserts now typed up also ready for printing
• Silk flowers bought for mine and BM's bouquets

Is there anything I should have done by now?

I get married 8th June 2014. I've only booked reception venue so far and it is lush I love it! We've had a set back already called the church we wanted to book and found out it was being closed for building works and will be closed for 9-12months.

so the hunt is on for a new church... Think we may have found one just in the process of typing a email to the church secretary regarding making the booking so finger crossed for me please.

not done anything else only booked venue last week to be honest don't know where to start just really concerned about the church once we've done that I'll be able to sort out the save the dates for overseas guest!

Hi everyone!! I'm a newbie here, getting hitched 2nd August 2014. And wondering if I have any date twins?

So far I have only booked the church & reception venue, what has everyone else done so far? Feeling a little overwhelmed at how much needs to be done!!

Almost a date twin I'm getting married on 1st August 2014 - Yorkshire Day

So far we've

Booked out venue, registrar, bought some decorations, compiled guest lists, got the cake topper, my bouquet

And are looking into honeymoons, deciding on photographer and need to contact our car company
