June-July Brides: what have you done? What do you have left?

Just want to gauge how I'm doing. My FH and I think we're on track, but since we live out of town it's kind of hard to book vendors.

So far we have booked/ordered:
Church
Reception Hall
DJ
Photographer
My dress!!
website it's soo cute. FH did it. FM me if you want to check it out. We linked a video of the proposal on it.


Still have:
Limo (in process of looking)
Videographer
Florists
Invites
??

Just did: Save the Dates magnets!! We ordered them tonight off!

I already selected my Bridesmaids's dresses but I'm waiting for my sister to go to the store and get all the information on ordering.

Is anyone else getting married in NY but live out of town? How are ya'll handling ordering vendors?

Re: June-July Brides: what have you done? What do you have left?

Reception
booked hotel rooms for OOT guest
booked bridal suite for night of
I made the STD's and sent them
booked hair (I've been going to her for ten years)
photogrpaher
booked e-shoot
dress
shoes
tiara
dj
florist

Not sure if I left anything out.


in the next two months I'm doing
officiant (within the week)
tuxes
MOH dress (this is becoming a pain)
pick out rings
pick out invite
book honeymoon (London)

We are not doing limos, and probably not favors (a donation to charity) and only a MOH and BM.

I'm teaching 6 classes in the spring semester (high school) and 5 of them are college level. We are also redoing the kitchen in my fiancee's house so needless to say I have to get as many things in order now.

[Is anyone else getting married in NY but live out of town? How are ya'll handling ordering vendors?


I'm planning from CA. I did all my research online and then met with ALL of the vendors in one week this past August. I booked my band from a DVD and a phone conversation with the band leader. Crazy stuff this long distance planning. The only vendor I have left is limos but I only need an antique car for the FH and myself so I plan on booking that when I go home for my shower in the spring. Invites are easy since I will be doing them from here. It was actually easier than I thought thanks to LIWEddings!

Re: June-July Brides: what have you done? What do you have left?

Hi Marc Rai,

You are getting married a day before me and also at the same reception hall. My FH and I both live out of state, so it can be quite hard to plan everything, but I go home quite frequently. So far I have:

The church
Reception hall
Photo and Video
Limo
Florists
I began sending out my Save the dates.
I am going dress hunting in October.

So far we are ahead of the game. I will FM you about for your wedding website.

Good luck planning everything!!
