HELP!! im new here!

hello to all the 2007 brides, i just got engaged and FH and i are trying to plan a Dec 2007 wedding. do you girls think i can do it?? i have been searching and reading all of your posts and you all are so helpful to me already!!
i already have ideas in my mind, next week we are going to try and book the RH. i think from there it wont be too bad as long as im not picky with everything else.

YES. I started planning my Sept wedding at the end of May.

It wasn't really that difficult... and you can REALLY negotiate prices with RHs if you plan it a couple of months away from the date

oh and CONGRATS & WELCOME!!!

Welcome and Congrats!!!!!

A December wedding should be beautiful. Even though you have a shorter amount of time to plan, it can certianly be done

Congrats again!

Congratulations & Welcome!!!!

Let us know if you need any help.

Welcome! You can totally do it!! Just make a list of the vendors that you need to book and start making calls. I did all of my research online and over the phone, so when it was time to go to vendor appointments- it was basically to book their services!! Good luck! Have fun!! And congratulations on your engagement!!

hi date twin!

yes, definitely do-able, but you need to nail down the hall now. can you tell us where you are looking at? i can tell you who is booked already (we had several of our choices knocked out immediately b/c they didn't have 12/8 open).

welcome, congrats, and please let us know how we can help!

ok im feeling better already
i hopefully will try and get a good price on the rh. i called a couple of places already , and fox hollow quoted me for $80. we dont want to go over a $100 pp.
the only other thing im worried about is my dress, after i book the hall and the church , i guess thats the next thing, right?? i would probably have no time to order, so it would have to be off the rack im assuming.......TIA

Here's what I did:
Went to Lillettes in Baldwin, told them my budget and what I was looking for and if ANYTHING can be sold to me off the rack, to let me know.

sure enough, I tried on my dream dress and i got it off the rack!

Believe it or not...David's Bridal has several really pretty dresses [I like the Oleg Cassini line] and you can get them within a month or two. I would check them out!

Also, decide on a DJ or Band and Florist!

when we went to talk to them in february, watermill was booked. they may have had a cancellation but slim chance on them. can't speak to the other ones as they weren't on my list. good luck!!

---

actually yea they are booked :( i called . i really like the watermill too. but its our fault. im sure we will find a place. if we had to, we will have it on the 7th, which is a friday.

Congrats!!! You can def do it!!!! I was such a slacker and planned everything in a short amount of time!!
I got my dress at davids bridal and actually left with it the day i tried it on. I did alterations somewhere else though!!! Good luck!!!

You can totally do it!!

We have been engaged for almost a year and truthfully, we just sat on our bums for a good portion of it doing nothing.

Just be flexible and you'll be fine
