And last night had my first wedding disaster dream, this early?! that can't be right! Dreading any others!!

I am getting married on the 31st October, Its so nice to see how all you other bride to be's are getting on. (although makes me a little nervous that I am far to relaxed and should be doing something!)

We got engaged in December 2012 and booked our ceremony venue and reception venue about 6 months ago now. Since the new year I have been cracking on so to speak and we have booked our DJ, I have bought my dress and we are handing in our notice at the end of Feb. I have also designed my save the date postcards and should be getting these printed shortly, next on my list is looking for a TOG that fits within our budget, looking for our rings and start designing my centrepieces and cake (I am a keen crafter and intend on making as much as I can myself, hence starting soon!).

Hope you are all enjoying your planning x

EDIT: forgot to say, our honeymoon is booked! (which I am very excited for - Florida then Vagas)

Lots of planning sorted for us the last couple of weeks, we're 11th October. I went through a period of avoiding all things wedding, as I had lost motivation and was getting really annoyed with everyone and everything wedding related! I went to a wedding fair a couple of weeks ago which got me excited again ?

So far we have:

Church & venue

Dress

BM dresses

Cars

Hair & make up booked

Photographer

Videographer

Cake my mum is making

DJ

We've started researching honeymoons and know where we're getting our rings from so am feeling slightly more organised now!

October 25th bride here!

Venue booked

band booked

registrar booked

venue dressing booked

trying on a dress Saturday which I know I will get. Getting bridesmaid dresses Saturday too.

honeymoon booked

thats it so far...... Xxx

Sounds like the October Brides Crew are getting on well with their planning ! I think since my original post I've booked cake and ordered flowers. Big wedding fair at Elland Road on Sunday so going to that. Although a lot of the stuff I won't be fussed with as already sorted. But as one of my BM's is now getting married too she will be :-) I think next on our list is to sort the men out. I think I said before my OH not really a suit person so should be fun. Some suit people at the fair so might get some ideas from there. And then I think it's rings ! I'm getting quite excited now and enjoying the planning , wishing for my dress to come in soon too ! But I think it will be end of March time.

Forgot , and looking at invitations at the moment too , most people know when it is but guess I need to make it official !

Hi!

I'm an October 3rd bride too!

We're getting married in Cyprus but then having a second reception when we get back so we can celebrate with all our friends and family that couldn't make it. So far I have dress, cakes (i'm having two), bridesmaids they're in pale grey with baby pink flowers - they're booked too, but artificial ones we will take to Cyprus. We have the food sorted, entertainment.Photographer.

Most of it really it's just the little details left to do and my accessories.

I have no idea about favors for Cyprus?

What are you making for your centerpieces?

Hi

im an October 4th bride!! We are getting married at Lickleyhead Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. So far we have a dress, car, cake, flowers and a photographer booked but are struggling for someone to marry us!! We hope to organise a piper too. The jury is still out on the food!! The save the date cards are out and we have the castle for three nights as so many of my family are travelling a distance

me and my future hubby met by chance on a buying, selling page on FACEBOOK,! Got engaged after 9 weeks and will be getting married a year and a week after we met. It's my second marriage and his first!! When you know it's right, it's right!

Same as us, both big rugby league fans and more likely with htb's leave, we're getting married 18th October, 2 days after our little ones birthday so he gets to be the boss of the sweetie table and a joint disco! Got our rings, venue, photographer, dress, centrepieces, bridesmaids and favours all sorted so feeling quite relaxed (for now!). Just need to DIY the invites to go out later this month

Are any other brides having seasonal touches? Another of our reasons for our autumn wedding was the beautiful colours, autumn is such a beautiful season.

Wow everybody's weddings sounds fabulous so far well done ladies We have done a few more things for the wedding now, we have ordered our wedding rings and we are about to send out the invitations. we have ordered a few tubs of sweets for our sweet table, bought some disposable cameras and tea lights and lots of other little things. Oh we have also changed our the time of our wedding to 1pm instead of 1.45 I haven't incorporated any autumn things into my wedding, it sounds like a wonderful idea but I have no idea what to do and what will go with my colour theme(dark purple/plum and ivory and silver ,any ideas?

Purple is a really autumnal colour would be easy to tie in eith your scheme if you wanted to! we're trying to keep it weddingy and glitzy but with a few natural rustic touches, thinking gold, deep reds, conkers in hurricane lanterns, hessian runners, gourds and berries in our arrangements.... nothing TOO themed but little seasonal touches because its our fave time of year. Oh and going to have toffee apples on the sweet buffet!

Hi All , can't believe it's only just over 7 months to go now , the time is flying by. We've sorted another few things , ordered our rings ( very excited about that but missing having my engagement ring as it's gone off for the ring to be shaped ). Went to see a lady yesterday and ordered my headband , not really a tiara kind of girl so going for a double headband with pearls and crystals on , having it changed from the one I saw so hope I like it when it's done ! I think my most exciting thing is that we've ordered invitations and they should be here in the next week or so. We didn't send out save the dates , just told everyone when it was. So really looking forward to getting these and sending them out. I think when I see them in front of me it will feel very real :-) My dress due in at the end of March so looking forward to that now. I think I'll check the list today to see what else needs doing , feel like we've done lots but bet there is still plenty left to do. Suits nor sorted yet but plenty of time for them.

Everyone else seems really organised , keep it up girls !

That all sounds lovely Fcheeks, you sound like you are very creative Coopsj68- You are right about the invitations, when we received our it made it seem very real! I am going to go wedding dress shopping on the 22nd March which now I am really looking forward to We still have to decide on where we are going for our little mini moon, we want to go somewhere that is in the UK, for maybe 3 or 4 days, I want somewhere really relaxing but also where there are lots of things to do, Any ideas? where are you all going?

I'm also having purple bridesmaid dresses (plum), and the bouquets are going to be purple, cream and a touch of orange to give a bit of an autumn feel. Thinking purple & orange calla lillies with purple dhalias and orange & cream freesias with some berries. Some things along the lines of this:

Love the toffee apple idea, might have to borrow that!

That bouquet is absolutely stunning! The colours are just beautiful

I know, I fell in love as soon as I saw it ❤️

Haven't picked a florist yet but the ones I have spoken to have given me suggestions to do it within my budget which makes me happy!

Aw thats great that they've been helpful with you and your budget, I swear some of them hear the 'W' word and upsell instantly! We have a fab florist at the bottom of our street but everytime I've called in with ideas I've hit a brick wall! Great talent, no people skills i think ha ha x

Hello October brides,

We have just set our date and we too are getting married on 17th October ? look forward to hearing how your plans are getting on xx

Hi again sheldon, your venue looks lovely on the other thread x

Thank you, everyonesplans are coming along great, a few things are included in our package. Ordered save the dates today, need to give notice, book photographer, flowers, the list goes on. Main thing i need is a dress, shopping for that on saturday, hope i find one xx

Hi brides...looks like I have a few date twins, I'm Oct 11th! Been quite organised the last couple of months but seem to have hit a lull now...mainly because funds are running out lol;-) so far though we have:-

venue, dress, BM dresses, suits, photographer, honeymoon, cake, BM gifts, invitations, cars, guitarist and DJ!

still lots to do and having a flower dilemma at the moment, can't decide whether to go real or artificial? Artificial seem so much cheaper but don't want it to look cheap, not sure how realistic they would be!

got ideas for favours but can't really get them until we know exactly how many are coming so that will probs wait til nearer the time!

cant believe how quick time is going.....so exciting although slightly worried about how much is left to do!!;-)

Hi All , just a quick update. So excited this week as our invites arrived. I just need to prepare an insert for them, few bits of info to put on ( the dreaded gifts v money debate ) so that might take a while. But want to get them done and posted out. And had a phone call this morning to say my dress is in !!! So excited , I ordered on 2nd November and they said it would in around the end of March so a bit earlier. Going to book an appointment in the next few weeks with my BM's.

Miezy83 - I went with artificial flowers but only because I'm not really a flower lover. They are foam flowers and the one's I've seen are very realistic. I used a site called 'The Brides Bouquet.co.uk'. They are on facebook too. Very good value.

We have our appointment tomorrow with the photographer to see samples of her work and potentially book. I went dress shopping today found an amazing dress buts it too expensive in the shop. Searched on line but cant find it apparently its new 2014 so no where has it cheaper! Feeling like i need to hurry and find the dress!!! X

Hi ladies, I'm getting married on 11th October in Las Vegas! I can't believe it's only 7 months to go, time really is flying! x

Welcome and congrats!

Same as us How are you getting on - apart from her dress and the bridesmaids bits I have done everything else - a bit like dont tell the bride ?

I'm pretty much all sorted now, just need to choose a veil and get a bridesmaid dress! x
