I want in too!

My colors are Warm Reds and Golds. I'm doing a Christmasy theme, but not too themish! I too am nervous about the snow.

My colors exactly too! Luckily I just got back from DeSeversky and they have decorated for XMas, all red and gold. Also they got new curtins, gold and red. I hit the jackpot!!!

That sounds beautiful. I am most likely doing ivory and gold, with splashes of reds and greens. I may most likely end up with red BP dresses. I tend to like CPs with ivory flowers and green in them.

I just realized that I kinda repeated myself from an above post

At least it's good to know that I still feel the same way about my colors as I did before

Questions Girls...

I feel like I'm behind on my planning. All I have done thus far is book the Hall, Church, and get the dress. I'm meeting with a florist on Saturday. What does everyone else have done so far?

Well...you're definetely ahead of me. All I have is my hall. I really have to start getting on the ball about all my vendors.

OK girls...let's keep our eyes open for all those after Christmas deals for supplies for our weddings next year! If you see anything good, let us know.

Definitely!

I read the post today (I was on vacation the first full week of Dec this month) about the big snowstorms! I was thinking the same thing! I'm hoping next December will be unseasonably warm!!!

I'm planning on stocking up on Christmas supplies this year so I can get everything done by early November so I don't have to come back from my honeymoon worried about Christmas gifts or cards!

I edited the original post to include the screennames and dates of all us December brides. I will keep my eyes open on the Official '06 Brides list and update when new December Brides are Added.

I visited a friend last night who told me that after Christmas, if you go to stores in neighborhoods where Christmas might not be as widely celebrated you can find a lot of inventory left in the stores for great prices. She went to CVS in Great Neck last year and she found tons of stuff marked off. She had beautiful 6' red pillar candles at her house with a gold motif that she picked up for $1.99.

I didn't realize there were so many of us now.

We just met with the Deacon the other night. With less than one year to go, it finally seems real!

I am in the process of looking for my church...That will definetely make it seem VERY real!

oh just thought i would share other ideas too ...

ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE is our favorite movie ... so were going to have our guests sign a framed IAWL poster of donna reed adn jimmy stewart and put it in our family room.

im also having the girls use muffs, and barbara from simple elegance is going to put a black magic rose in the middle of it.

oh and she also puts a rinestone in the middle of each rose to give it extra glimmer. so beautiful!

You aren't behind, you got the major and the hardest things done!!! You still have plenty of time to book your vendors.

Hey December Girls.....how's the planning?

Haven't done too much recently!

Church
Hall

Precana
Dress
Shoes
BM dresses picked out (and pregnant BM had baby so we can order that in a couple of months)
MOB Dress
Started printing envelopes for STDs/Hotel info

I had everything except the last two done by the first week in December so I've been on sort of a 2 month hiatus! I've looked at a couple veils/headpieces but, I'm not sure yet what I want!!!
