October Brides ** Update

Original post by jmd75

So how far along is everyone in the planning process?? I feel like I have so much to do and am getting more and more stressed about it. We have the reception booked, I have my dress already, almost all of my BM's have ordered their dresses but thats it.

we're met with about five photographers but haven't booked anyone yet. I know we have a lot of time but I feel like before we know it, it will be next year. Am I just freaking out???


ETA:: What a difference a month makes. I'm feeling much better. We booked our photographer. YAY Love him!!
We started our registry. The last of my BM's ordered her dress - now just have to find a MOH dress. And we're going to look at DJ's in the next few weeks. I think it was just the pre holiday stress. Thank you ladies

Re: October Brides

Don't sweat it, I'm a few weeks before you and I've been soooo busy at work for the past 3 months that I haven't had time to do anything.... Here's my list of things that are done:
Ceremony booked
Reception booked
STD's ordered
Pre Cana completed

That's it.... I'm not stressed though, I will have a ton of time to get things done in January :) Don't worry, everything will come together, we have time.

Re: October Brides

I got married in October 2008, and I had NOTHING done this time last year. We didn't even pick the place until late February.

Re: October Brides

Up until this week I only had my Church & RH reserved and had ordered my STD's, but I promised myself that I would have all major stuff booked by middle of February, so this week we booked our Photographer and our Honeymoon, started our gift registry, set a date to go looking for bm dresses with the girls and set up a makeup trial. I need to get my butt in gear!!!

Re: October Brides ** Update

I haven't started freaking out yet... but this thread is making me a little nervous!!!!

We were kind of on hold for a lot of things not knowing exactly what our money situation was, but now we're really trying to get everything going.

So far we've done:
RH (Vineyard Caterers) (also CL)
Photo (Duet)
Video (Duet)
STD's (I did myself- came out awesome!!)
Hotel Block (Holiday Inn Express)

We're meeting with LI Sound today for DJ, but other than that nothing else is close to finalized...

So this is what I still need (I think):
DJ
Flowers
Invites (I'm going back and fourth with diy pocketfolds)
Officiant
My Dress
BMs Dresses
Tuxes
Wedding Bands
Favors (we've picked out- didn't buy yet)
CPs (probably not floral)
Programs
Veil/Headpiece
Limo
Bus (to bring guests to/from wedding from hotels)
Attendant gifts


Ok, so putting what I haven't done into a list freaks me out a little!!

I'm staying calm, I know plenty of people that planned weddings in less time than I have so I'm sure I'll be fine. I just gotta get movin!!!

Good Luck Ladies!!
