May 2013

kelly504, 10 November, 2011 at 13:17 Posted on Planning 0 21

I'm new to Hitched and just wondered if there are any May 2013 brides like myself.

We are getting married on the 11th and so far have booked the venue, church, videographer, chocolate fountain, entertainment, cars and ordered our save the dates. I keep thinking I'm quite organised but there is just so much to do I'm struggling to see how it will all get done!

Are there any wedding twins out there?

    Hi, I'm another May 2013 bride and getting married the day after you.

    You're very organised, you've put me to shame! I only have the venue and the registrar booked. We also have a photographer pretty much sorted. We're focusing on saving money at the minute, then starting to get things booked and paid off in the New Year. Don't worry, we have plently of time to get everything sorted.

    Where are you getting married?

    Hi Freckles, I have day & evening venue booked, TOG booked, Cars booked, registrar booked (paid a special advanced booking fee to make sure we got our date), DJ booked, Ive got my dress (bought on Ebay from China), got my shoes and have customised them with crystals myself, .got my tiara and bridesmaids hairpieces too and save the dates (only cos someone told me about the free ones bride&groomdirect were doing so thought i'd give them a go!)

    Have also picked bridesmaid & flowergirl dresses, flowers, suits and music.

    Think thats it so far We are getting married at The Helena Thompson Museum in Workington http://www.htmworkington.com/1432/frames.php and our evening reception is at the local Legion as it has a lovely big function room.

    Hi Girls,

    We are getting married on 31st May.

    So far we have the venue booked, have organised a friend to be tog and have also booked a magician.

    I really really want to try on dresses, but have so far resisted as I worry if i fall in love with something now I have too much time to change my mind before the wedding!

    I have also attempted designing our stationery, and hope to get an artist friend to perfect them for us.

    Look forward to hearing all your plans

    Both of your venues look lovely. I'm getting married at Mosborough Hall in Sheffield: https://www.mosboroughhall.co.uk/ which is apparently the most haunted hotel in the area, which should make things interesting!

    You're both very organised. I'm leaving looking for a dress until maybe spring time next year, though I do keep looking online and in wedding magazines for inspiration. Next on the agenda is getting photographer booked for definite and thinking about guest list, which I'm dreading!

    We are looking for a photographer as well, its proving difficult because there don't seem to be many in our area with a good reputation. I did have one in mind but when we went to see her she was charging over £2000. Do you think that is a bit steap?

    Hmmm, I would say that was quite expensive but I suppose it depends on what you get for your money and how much you're willing to pay. We're going with a friend of a friend who did a wedding that we went to. I've looked at his website and I like his work. Even at something of a "mates rate", it would still cost us £600 and that's without any albums or anything else included. And he works alone, obviously if the TOG you're looking at works with someone else on the day, it will be more expensive

    Hi guys. I'm getting married in April or May 2013. We've not set a specific date yet as we're going to Italy to get married and need to wait for the town hall to get back to us to set a date. We haven't booked one little thing so don't go worrying about anything, there's loads of time unless of course you have very, very specific niche requirements that limit your choices.

    We know the venue we want for our ceremony, where we want to have a toast and where we're hopefully staying and having our WB. We can't book flights until about 6 months before hand anyway I think, I'm not having BMs and I'm doing my own hair and make-up and I'll pick some random flowers in a florist when I'm there the day before. Anything else as they say is just gravy. We're not planning on booking anything at all until the new year, we'll have been engaged for a year in Feb without having booked anything and with just over a year to go ?
