Just wondering outside of vendors what you have done yet??

I havent picked BM dresses and I plan on ordering mine in April.
I havent done any DIY's since I dont know my colors yet.

I really havent done anything yet...

I feel like I should be doing more to get some of the DIY's out of the way but until I am set with the color its really hard!!!!!!!!

I DID NOT book my D.J. yet or my florist. I pretty much have everything else done with. My DIY's I will be doing closer to the wedding.

Hi!

I should warn you, as soon as I got engaged I wanted to have everything booked as quickly as possible so I did just that (I'm mildly touched with OCD). I have everything finished pretty much except for the little stuff -- shoes, hair, undies, favors, our wedding rings... that sorta thing.

First, you should DEFINITELY start looking for your gown ASAP. Some manufacturers are much slower than others; you don't want to be limited in your selection due to time constraints. Plus, many salons will add a 'rush fee' if they can get away with it. Start looking now!

Also, if you haven't decided on your entertainment, I'd do that now. Bands and DJ's book up quickly.

Once you've found your gown, then go looking for BM dresses. They don't take quite as long to come in but they do take a few months.

OH NO...I'm SOOOO BEHIND!!! I already KNEW this but now its confirmed from reading all the comments...LOL!!!! Oh well....its really work (being working 6 days a week) and we are paying for this all by ourselves so its been tough, just mainly making my monthly payments to the RH.

Well here's all I have so far:
RH booked
Dress
Veil
Save the Dates (waiting for them to get here...plan is to mail out by February 15th!).
Finally came up with my colors (last night....lol!)

What I still have to do:
Photographer (the one I wanted is already booked...so I'm back at square one - that's what I get for procrastination)
Hotel block
Invitations (contacted T e s s a this past week so that's in the works).
DJ (we know so many that we have to choose from friends which should be easier)
BM dresses (just met with the girls last night...will be going to pick them out on February 12th).
Limos (have to decide whether we are having them)
Florist (RH gives me the option to use 3).
Makeup/Hair

Clearly I NEED HELP!!! LOL!!!
