August 2003 Brides

OK, I admit it, I am jealous that we did not have a topic thread for the 8/03 ladies

Lets post where we are for planning- I have a complex that I am behind on stuff. I will go first:

Church: Our Lady of Victory in Floral Park
Reception: Larkfield Manor
Photographer/Video: Glenmar Studio in Roslyn
DJ: Tom Gordon
Dress: Diamond Bridal
BM Dresses: B2 by Jasmine

I am also almost done w. the save the date cards.

Anyone else?

Re: August 2003 Brides

YIPEE!! I've been jealous that we don't have our own thread, too. Here's where I am in my planning:

Reception & ceremony: Sans Souci
Band: Hackensack Men
Ceremony Music: Janet Knight, Harpist
Photographer: Susan Francy
Dress: Eva Forsyth from Kleinfeld
BM Dresses: Jim Helm (not ordered yet)

I'm working on my Save the Dates and am thinking about registering shortly after Christmas. I'm also thinking about who I should get for hair and make-up. Have your BMs ordered their dresses? I'm thinking about having them order in January. Do you think that's too late?

Re: August 2003 Brides

YEAH!!!!!!!! I was wondering how many August brides are out there

I wanted to get everything booked before the end of the year so hear it goes:
Church: St James in Seaford
Reception: Terrace on the park in Queens
Photos & video:Proline
Band: Stan Wiest & 2 greek musicians
Flowers: Flower Michele
Limo: Allstar
Dress: Private label by G
Registered: Fortunoff & Macys

I was not going to send save the date cards.....but may reconsider. We had our engagement party in October so most people now know the date.

I will try to order the bridesmaid dresses by Dec/Jan. It is the one thing I am dragging my feet on.

Re: August 2003 Brides

Ceremony - ST. Raymond's Church
Reception - John Anthony's on the Water

We have finished looking at limos and florists but haven't yet decided who to go with.

Most of our guests know when the wedding is but I'm thinking of doing save the dates in our Christmas cards beause it is a holiday weekend.

We will start really looking for BM dresses and Honeymoon after the holidays

Nice to meet you all Happy Planning

Re: August 2003 Brides

Hey girls,
I am August 22, and I pretty much have everything (the big stuff) done...I feel like my progess is on track, now that I see how much you guys have done. :)

My bridesmaids dresses are going to be periwinkle

Re: August 2003 Brides

Hooray, I was worried that my poor post got lost
My BMs will be wearing Cranberry. It is my favorite color, and since our wedding is over Labor Day weekend, I figured I did not have to go with a lighter summer color (since Cranberry seems more fall).
Has anyone thought about Honeymoons yet? We are going to a travel agent on Sunday. I had heard that the hurricane season is starting right around the end of August in the Carribean, so we are looking at Hawaii and Italy. Where are you ladies thinking of heading?

Re: August 2003 Brides

August 30th! I was a crazed bride this summer and I have most of the major stuff done and now I'm just doing some small stuff here and there. I've taken a short sabbatical from planning but after the holidays I'll be back full force.

Re: August 2003 Brides

The next big thing for us is the honeymoon, and I have to go w. my mom in the next few weeks to find her dress. Any suggestions on a good dress store for mother of the bride? She did not like the ones in the store where I bought my dress...

Betty Posted: Dec 02, 2002 10:21 AM

Re: August 2003 Brides

We need to start working on those things soon too!! We are deciding between two florists and 3 limos. Everything has kind of been put on hold since the holidays are here. After the holidays we must get cracking. The honeymoon is our next big thing too. I'm not sure where my mom will look for a dress. I feel kind of bad for her though because my brother is getting married two months before me so now she need TWO dresses . I'd like to know where she could look too, but nothing to $$$
