Sept 2012 brides

Hey date twin. You seem like you have done a similar amount to us. We are booking the mens suits this month and the honeymoon and looking into gifs ect. We are thinking of sending our invites in May time. Mainly to give plenty of time dur to summer hols ect.

Enjoy

Wow there are so many of us 22nd September brides, where have you all been hiding??? ?

Yay!!! I didn't realise there were so many of us 22nd September brides!! ?

I know its fab. Out of interest how did any of you pick your date? We looked at sept and as my sister got married on the 11th, my dads bday is the 28th so we plumped for the 22nd!!!! Highly random!!!!

TBH we picked it cos September was slightly cheaper than July/August with the venue and that was one of the first dates in September they had, it was all down to money with us I'm afraid!

I'm an 8th Sept bride. We choose this date because when we set our date, we knew we definitely wanted to get married in 2012, didn't want any of the months from Oct-February, the summer months were more expensive, the spring months wouldn't have left us enough planning time so was only left with September!

I wanted as nearer the beginning of Sept as possible as my birthday is the 28th and didn't want the wedding too close to my birthday and the venue only had the 8th available for the beginning of Sept and so it was decided lol

Hi Girls, My first post!!

I am September bride too. I get married 7th September. I'm probably better off saying what I havent sorted as I'm super organised, dont want any stress nearer the time. Need to sort Invites, Favours, Accessories, Presents. Need to finalise ideas for flowers, cake and suits. Oh and need to lose half a stone to get into my wedding dress. Nightmare, but still have 7 months to go. Thank god!! xx

I have done dress, bm dresses, photographer/videographer, venue decorator, cars, chair covers, choc fountain, candy Buffett, magician, singer/piano during meal, dj, ice cream van (!) church, venue, stationary. Just got suits to do xxx

Anyone 1st sept with me? X

Hi, I'm 1st Sept too! You sound so organised! We only booked the venue a couple of weeks ago so pretty much have everything else to sort out. I tried on my first dress today and loved it, but am going with my BMs in a couple of weeks for a proper look - can't wait!

Because we had the chioce of 15th, 22nd or 29th Sept......i hate odd numbers so was always going to be the 22nd lol!

We picked September as still wanted it to be a summerish wedding and OH mum has just finished having chemo so wanted her to feel comfortable on the day(hair will have grown longer by then) and the 22nd as bridesmaids friends are getting married on the 1st and didnt want it to clash and my sister got married on the 22nd may 2011 so thought it be nice to be the same date (shes happy with that)

Looked at suits at the weekend after having mine and the bridemaids first dress fittings (very exciting) found the ones we want so will make an appointment in the next few weeks to try on and then book.

My venue will be arranging chair covers flowers for centre pieces and everything else to do with a reception so just need to decide the menu and what to have in the buffet in the evening.

OH and I will be taking a trip to Hatton Garden in London in the next few weeks to pick wedding rings, favors are already sorted, well organza bags i have got already just need to order chocolates nearer the time. OH is sorting out the cars, he wants it to be a surprise for me day of the wedding(LOVE IT) Not sure what else there is to do at the moment?

Hi everyone, it's great to see so many 22 September brides! We choose that date because we wanted it to happen in 2012, but not in the autumn/winter months. Due to my job it had to be after the Olympics and Paralympics so September it was. We had the choice of the 15th or the 22nd but thought the 22nd gave us an extra week to sort stuff out! My OH likes the date as it is in between our birthdays (May and January) and I also figured out it is about 10 years from when we first met at uni (but just short of 9 years from us actually getting together!)

We've sorted the venue, food, photographer and have an idea of what dress I'll be wearing, but not much else. I'm going to the wedding show later this month so perhaps this will get me more motivated!

I'm a Sept 7th bride. We didn't want winter months or the summer holidays and in previous years September has always been good.

I'm feeling quite relaxed.

I have:

Dress,veil & shoes

Bridesmaid dresses

Favours

Table centre vases

Invitations are upstairs waiting to go out

I have the main part of our table plan

Booked Church

Booked photographer

Booked car

Booked reception

Booked honeymoon

So getting there.

Coming up to 6 months for me - and i'm panicing a little.....

anyone else feel like they can't do anything more yet until nearer the time?! x

I wish! I feel really behind now I have read the last fe wpost on here I still have to;

Buy my shoes and tiara

Bridesmaid dresses & shoes

Buy my buttonholes and bouquet (not having real flowers)

Rings

Hair & makeup trails

Bridesmaid & parents presents

Print invites, menu's and make table plan

Buy favours

I think that is it, but I am sure I may have missed something. Think I need to get my bum into gear lol!

Eeeeeek I've just noticed by ticker starts with 6 months!!! It's coming around so fast. We booked the wedding on the two year mark, only feels like yesterday!

We have a fair amount still to do too. Although this month has been fairly hectic with planning, we've got a few things to finalise, and source a couple more suppliers, but once thats done I can relax and breath again!!

Im SO excited!! ?

It's coming round so quickly. Went with my mum at the weekend and bought my artificial flowers, my mum is a florist and really wanted to do my bouquet so we compramised and I said she could do them as long as they weren't real. I don't want her panic about my flower the day before my wedding!. I sent my invites out yesterday, I know it's early but just wanted them out of the way I'm fed up of seeing them as I made them all!

This weekend sorting centre pieces for the table as they are part of our package, and also ordering the cake as OH want to chose it to. Then Mens suits next weekend as long as my brother can make it down. Still got rings, BM shoes, gifts and bits and bobs to do but the To Do sheet is slowly being ticked off!

28th September here, so its 7 months today! eek! Feels like I have loads to do but have got sorted:

- Venue (package so includes meal, evening buffet and dj and dancefloor)
- Registrar
- My dress
- BM dresses (2)
- Ordered rings
- Meeting a potential TOG tomorrow
- All bits for invitations (just need to put them together!)

Don't worry Mrs Amor to be, I'm less organised than you are! I haven't sorted any of things you have on your to do list and don't even have my dress yet! I'm starting to get a bit worried about that as when I've been phoning bridal shops they seem to think I've left it a bit late! I'm sure it'll all be fine, worst case I buy a sample dress!

All I have sorted so far is the venue, photographer and band (last 2 booked this week!) and the invitations are almost ready, just need to find a printer.

Thanks Smee_elaine you have made me feel better!! I only got my dress last month though in all honesty and yes all the dress shops will tell you that. Are you going to the Wedding Show next month? There will probably be lots of stands selling dresses there!

Good luck with it all! Keep posting how your getting on!?

I just have flowers and adult bridesmaids left to sort now. I think. Purchase wise lots to pay for still just no decision making.

Going to wedding fayre at my venue Sunday, not seen it since I booked so quite excited although massively kicked off over my invoice today. They have told me I owe them an extra £800 in my next payment which can't be right. I made sure I forwarded emails of any "incorrect" advice I received ?

Nearly at the 6 month mark, we are off shopping for our wedding rings this weekend.

We've arranged our banns to be read, paid another chunk off our reception, invites have been written, just waiting for OH to give me his evening guest list!

Eeeek getting excited now! x

Cake and table centres now sorted! Had a good wedding day yesterday, finishing the last few table names, already had some RSVP's and lots of people booking rooms at the venue for the night and the night before! Maybe I won't be having a quite night before!

I need to get the invites out asap i think, especially for the day. i wanted to send day & evening out at same time, but don't think it's feasible with changes in work and jobs etc, so think as long as i get the RSVP from the days' i wont feel so behind!

had bridesmaids trial tonight for hair - loved it, booked my hair trial for mid august, and little bits and bats are slowly getting ticked off my list. favours are all practically bought.

slow & steady wins the race! x

Hi Sheree, We are date twins (1st)! I wasn't going to send my invites out until April. What have you done for favours?

We're doing pick n mix style, but all related to the big day, with a poem, in a pink striped candy bag. there will be love hearts, jelly rings, blackjacks (we're having a casino in the evening) etc. you? x

Hello Ladies

I know I'm late - but can I join?

We booked our church last Wednesday and we are getting married 15.09.2012.

Since Wednesday we have:

* Viewed the church and booked it

* Viewed two potential reception venues and decided on one - booked it and paid the deposit (3 course with coffee + mints after, decided on our reception drink and champagne toast)

* Viewed two potential evening reception venues - decided on one. Booked hot buffet for 120 guests + paid deposit (Menu options to be decided)

* Contacted wedding car company who also have a photographer - negotiated a deal and provisionally booked it. (awaiting booking forms to pay deposit)

* Bought stuff to make own invites and favours

I have my dress, bridesmaid dress + flower girl dress but had them for about 3 months as we knew we were getting married but didnt quite have the £££'s to start planning. Still got so much to do and with not much time but I'm sure we'll get there.

Good luck and happy planning

I've been busy! Bridesmaid dresses bought http://www.bhs.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/bhsstore/657207/228565 & http://www.bhs.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/bhsstore/657328/228565

Cake sorted, cupcakes in white and fuchsia, with a heart shaped top tier fruit cake, white iced with fuchsia ribbon ( top tier offered as a gift )

Invites for day out, evening invites on way out. More payments made, and also some things cut out of budget that when looked at could cut and weren't necessary.

Looking about honeymoon, thinking we're going to book a late deal after the wedding, we're not fussed for a huge expensive do like!

Got a few rsvps through which is promising, also the hen do is coming together - just can't believe I'll be married in less than 5 months!!!

We're getting hitched on the 15th Sept ? We started off on a roll then stalled for a while. So far have booked church, venue, dj, photographer, outfits, h2b & groomsmen outfits, made invites and just ordered my dress this afternoon so we're getting there! Next on the agenda is Order of Services, Favours and flowers. Gonna make an attempt at the cake so fingers crossed!

Hello September brides! I think I may have posted on this thread months and months ago but I can't remember! So... I'm getting married September 2nd. Left to do are...

Flowers (decided on styles, just need to contact family friend who is doing them)

Chose and buy rings

Send out invites; evening ones arrived today and they are gorgeous!!

My accessories

Bits n bobs like table plan, numbers, etc

Wow I actual think thats it for the major bits! That can't be right??

I might be back later with an update as I remeber more things to do!

I'm 8th Sept

So far....

Have booked venue & registrar and wedding insurance. Given notice. Booked honeymoon, TOG, Car and DJ. Ordered cake, cake topper and flowers. Hired suits and chair covers. Bought rings, BM dresses and my dress, underwear, shoes, veil and tiara. Organised all my stationery and wrote out my day invites and begun to sort out the favours.

Still to do....

Finalise favours and room decor. Book MUA and have hair and make-up trials. Write out evening invites and send all of them out. Fill out registrars form to confirm details such as music, vows & readings etc. Have first dress fitting. Print out all of the other stationery including finalising table plan. Buy all those last minute bits and pieces including bridal party gifts. And groomsmen need to go and have suit fittings....hopefully that's everything!
