    I've booked the venue and found my dress but that's about it so far. I wasn't sure whether I'm being too relaxed about things lol.

    I get the "i need to get stuff done" moments and other times realise I can't do everything now, its too early!

    Oooo Im getting married on 25th May next year too ! ? We have the venue, registrar, TOG booked, Ive sent save the dates out and Ive started faffing about trying out different tutorials for paper decorations to try and decide what I want (were on a budget so lots of DIYing to be done!) Im having my dress made and I have pretty much decided on what I want although I dont have to be totally certain yet (thankfully) and I have chosen the fabric for it but need to go up and have measures taken etc next (will be august for that !! Very excited !!!)

    Hiya,

    We're getting married on 4th May next year! So far we've booked the venue, registrar, humanist man (not sure what the official title is..) and I've ordered my dress (but only because it was being discontinued so I had to be quick!)

    We'll be sending out our STD email next week and are looking at bands at the moment. But that's all we've done so far...

    Sometimes I think I've got ages and then other times I start to panic! Eek!

    Ooh im 25th May too! Date twins ?

    So far we have booked church, reception venue, Photographer, DJ, and transport. sending out save the dates this weekend.

    Am currently looking into flowers and cake. Will be making my invites over the summer holidays (am a teacher) ready to send when the time comes.

    We have also asked all our bridal party to be a part of the wedding and have started looking at BMs dresses.

    Not looking at dresses untill October as am trying to lose a bit of weight before then!

    Like Emma...it seems that I have ages and then sometimes it doesnt and I feel that I need to do so much more!

    Hello! We're 31 May 2013.

    So far we've booked the venue and registrar, and sent STDs. I got my dress aaaaages ago - we've been engaged for years and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.

    We're meeting caterers atm, will soon start talking to illustrators about our stationery, and I want to make a start on our wedding website in the next few weeks.

    Oooh we're 31 May as well! ?

    We've booked the venue, registrar, sent Save the Dates, booked the florist, photographer and cake. We're hopefully about to book a band for the evening. I've started dress shopping and we've also been getting decorations and bits as we see them. x

    This sounds fantastic. Santorini is a spectacular location for a wedding, and you have a reception in the UK as well. It's probably very wise to starting planning all this very early!

    We're getting married on 4th May and we have quite a lot already planned: church, reception venue, cars, photographer, guest transport, caterer, ice cream van and dress Smiley smile

    Honeymoon is also booked!

    I'm hoping to get venue dressers booked shortly.

    I know it seems like we'be done a lot but we've been engaged since last August so have had a bit of time. Plus booking things early meant that we were able to secure this years prices for next year

    Hi,

    We are 11th May and so far have booked church, venue, photographer, cars, sent save the dates and ordered my dress! We also yesterday booked flights and the first part of our honeymoon. Need to start looking at flowers and a band next. Have seen bridesmaid dresses I like but can't order them until December. Might make a start on invites soon so that I'm not stressing over Xmas!

    I know what you mean about it sometimes feeling like its ages away (we've been engaged since September) then at other times I think blimey better get a move on!

    Hiya

    I'm also getting married on the 25th May, we are doing everything on a tight budget and doing as much of it as we can by ourselves, OH is very much involved which can be a pain at times...., we have booked church and venue (which we decorate ourselves) and decided on colour scheme of a deep purple/blue and just started looking for wedding dresses which I too thought was a bit early but actually been advised isnt at all.

    Oooh, date twins! We've pretty much done the same as you, church, venue, chocolate fountain, photographer, sent save the dates, and ordered the dress. Cake is getting sorted in the next few weeks, just looking at bridesmaid dresses, flowers and band.

    Just thought I'd say hi and see how everyone is getting on Smiley smile

    Trying to find bridesmaid dresses and getting ideas for making invites at the moment. Not seen any BM dresses I like yet, which is getting frustrating! Fingers crossed will find some soon ...
