Any August 2014 Brides?

Me! Mine is Thursday 14th August 2014. I've paid the deposit on the venue, bought stationary in to make Save the Date Cards and paid a deposit on my wedding dress. I know it's early but I fell in love with the first one I tried on. I tried loads more after that one but didn't like any of them nearly as much! I'm waiting to hear back from a friend who is also a photographer as he may be on holiday at the time of the wedding. Started to make enquiries about music, hair and makeup. Bridesmaid dresses are causing me the most trouble at the moment! Where are you up to?

Hello! I'm hoping to be an August 2014 bride!!! My church and venue both are available, it's just a matter of booking (hopefully this week!) for the 2nd or 9th of August - what date are you and what do you have booked?

As well as the Church and village hall -so far decided on:

Colour sceme, caterer table centres, Invitations, place cards, guest List, cake and favours.

Food wise I've decided on starter, pudding and evening food. Need to discuss the rest with caterer.

I've started buying vases for my table centres at car boot sales/charity shops, some things to get started on my invitations and place cards (it's going to be a DIY wedding as I'm a crafter) and I made bunting for another event which I'll use for the wedding. I've also been picking up other things to dress the venue as I've seen them!

Lots of things sorted - just need to actually book it now!

Yay some fellow August 2014 brides!

I'm 9th August :-)

We've booked church and venue and probably going to book caterers soon, just finalising things with them. Also booked transport and will be paying for my dress this week :-D I also ended up booking a MUA and a hair lady...I thought it was too soon for all of that but at least now I don't have to worry.

Next on the list is a DJ. It's funny, some suppliers (such as cars) were already booked up for my date when I enquired, but suppliers for other things were available then.

Anyone else feel a bit silly booking these things when there's still over a year to go? *sigh*

16th August here (waves).

Booked registrar and venue, band for evening, acoustic duo for daytime, bouncy castle, ice cream van, circus skills workshop/demo, photographer. In negotiation/discussion with a couple of caterers and a late night disco.

I'm making my own dress and growing my own flowers (brave as I'm no gardener!).

I have yet to finalise food etc, buy bunting, sort invitations/save the dates (though I'll be doing a print your own or vista print I think). Still to make decisions about the ceremony wording and readings.

Ho hum ? triple post

Hi there I'm getting married on Friday 1st August 2014, which is Yorkshire day.

I'm incredibly excited! Our ceremony is at 1.00pm ?

So far we've sorted Venue for ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception. All same place!

Cake topper made

My button bouquet is made,need to get cracking with the 3 BMs and the 3 wands for the flower girls.

He took me to Rome and got down on one knee by the fountain de trevi . It was fab and everyone cheered .

How did your men give you your gorgeous ring?

Don't feel silly. I have bookings for 2015 already. If you know what you want then it makes sense to book it. If you wait then someone else might get the supplier you want.

I dont feel silly at all!

At the end of the day the more you do now the less you have to worry about doing weeks before the the big day.
Wedding planning should be fun and enjoyable experience .

I want the last couple of weeks to be stress free knowing everything is under control

Bridesmaid dresses - this saturday trying them on with two of the Bridesmaids
Centrepeices - bought 12 large square vases. Not quite sure whats going in them yet lol

Looked at invitations, not sending save the dates and will probably send invites 6 weeks before hand and then chase like a mad woman to get responses!(joy)

been watching you tube tutorials on how to do your own wedding day make up - I need to invest in a good primer and foundation!

I am so excited!!!!!

xxx

I feel a bit daft sometimes sorting things for favours etc. when the venue isn't even booked!

I've got so much to do, I need to start now or I'll never get it done or it will get a chore - which we don't want!

Im an August bride- get married on the 23rd of august 2014

so far I have:

Church Booked - I didn't need a deposit but getting married at 12.30pm
Venue booked
Dress brought and being stored at MIL house (it was a bargain £1600 reduced to £300 so couldn't not get it)
Save the date Cards ordered from vista print and families ones sent out (I ordered magnets)
Photographer Booked
Hair and make up booked
Cake - my younger brother is going to make it (with a little help from me- we both loved baking and decorating)
Catering for sit down meal and buffet booked just need to confirm exactly what we want
Transport booked my friend works at BMW so has a new one every 6 months and will have a convertible next year wahoo.

have booked photobooth and paid deposit.

even though I have done so much I still have tonnes to do including making my own brooch bouquet which I have started to collect the brooches for and blinging up my own shoes as well as bridemaids and flower girls shoes, have designed my invites just need to make them.

I am toying with the idea of having a wishing style tree with butterflies and crystals / pearls on based on a mirrored plate surrounded by candles wrapped in lace (my theme is vintage romance and colour scheme is red, ivory and silver)

What is a wishing tree? i have seen them but i dont know what they're for.

Hi I'm August 22nd. I feel like I'm way behind you lovely lot! I've done:

Paid the deposit on the venue, which includes the ceremony, wedding breakfast, evening reception and the bridal suite for the wedding night.

Paid the deposit for the registrar.

Paid the deposit for the TOG.

Paid the deposit for the dj.

Chosen my colour scheme - apple green, but thinking of adding hints of coral.

Chosen the bridesmaids dresses but not ordering until next year as my 12 year old niece is growing an inch a month!

Chosen my dress and shoes but not paid anything yet.

Sat 2nd August for me

So far we have booked: Reception/venue

Caterer

Photographer

DJ

Chair covers

Chocolate fountain

Registrar

Car

Hotel for night before and night after

The following I know exactly what I am having but am yet to physically purchase them!:

Dress

Shoes

Honeymoon

Wedding favours

Flowers

Decorations.

Not too bad so far!

What are you doing for your honeymoon?, I have left this up to OH. At the moment its travelling puru, Argentina & Brazil but it changes quite often lol He wants to go for 4 weeks!

Our wedding is on 23rd August 2014. So far we have booked our venue for the ceremony and reception (same place), photographer and caterer. I've also found a florist but we are still discussing the finer detail! That's about it. I'm starting to make save the dates, but they won't go out till this August probably.

Hoping to go to LA and Hawaii for mine but have quite a bit of research to do beforehand! 4 weeks sounds like a nice long break, I'd definitely say yes to that!

We're hoping for Hawaii but haven't really decided on much more than that yet - may look at doing a couple of islands if possible!

What made you all pick August? There is no real significance for us but our venue has some fantastic gardens which will be amazing in August, plus we have a couple of people working in schools so it means they can attend easily.

Could not agree more. I'm determined to have a stress free last two week!!

Hi!

I keep seeing the thread for the August 2013 girls pop up and thinking 'this time next year that'll be us!'

16th August and everything is done bar the cake topper ?

Wow that is organisation!!

My pinterest board says everything is done in my head - just need to put it into practise now!

I am starting to wish there was more to do. I know that sounds silly but i'm so excited about all the ideas and DIY-ing bits and bobs i want to have more to think about!!

DrBuffles, would you share your pinterest link? I like looking at everyone's ideas but mustn't buy anymore otherwise it will be over kill and there won't be any room left on the tables for plates! The only reason I have done everything is because I have way too much time on my hands...honest.

Where are you guys getting married? any Scottish bride?

It's a secret board, sorry ? i have to keep it hidden or all my similarly Pinterest obsessed friends will see the whole lot months in advance! I'll do a flash at some point.

i don't have any time (currently procrastinating) so that's why i haven't done more!

Just out of interest how do you share pinterest link?
