What do I do next?

Vintage84, 18 June, 2012 at 13:00 Posted on Planning 0 10

Okay, so far I've booked all the time crucial stuff, but now what? Time seems to be flying past and I'm not getting any further!!

Booked; Venue, Entertainment, Photographer

Bought: THE dress

Found: Florist

Not needed: Make up artist, wedding cars

So what do I need to do next? I'm going bridesmaid dress shopping in July, they're coming off the high street so it's just a case of hitting the shops. But then what? I feel like I'm not worried/busy enough....everyone's told me planning a wedding is so stressful but so far I'm a chilled out B2B!! : )

    Oh dear this has got me rather worried! When I think about what I've done it feels like I've almost got it all together, but looking at these lists.... I have done about 1% oops!

    Do you know what....after looking at this list again, I feel pretty good! I know the answers to most of them!! Yay me!

    Great to see a proper list though, I do get confused easily and work much better from lists but I wasn't sure what I might be missing....is it bad that I'd missed off wedding rings!!

    Ive got nearly everything sorted. I made most of this list by looking in my huge wedding storage box in my living room!

    Wow - no time to relax but you'll get there.

    Have you thoughts about rings? These can take 2-3 weeks to be made so don't leave it too late!

    Good luck

    Bridesmaid Shoes

    Book to get your nails done

    Book eyebrow waxing (and any other bits you might want...lol)

    Buying thanku pressies for mums, dads, best man, ushers & bridesmaids

    Bridal jewellery

    Wedding cars

    I bought my ring the other day and when i went to try it on i realised how faded my white gold engagement ring had gotten so u might want to think about getting ur engagment ring re-dipped or professionally cleaned before the day so it looks all nice next to ur wedding ring Smiley smile i hear it can take a few weeks so def something to pencil in!
