Where are the summer girls in the planning process?
I'm working on invites and BM dresses right now! Trying to save the smaller stuff for after the new year (shoes, veil, headpiece, hair trial, cardbox, FG baskets, unity candle, etc)
When do you think is the latest I should make a final decision on BM dresses?

Re: Summer girls- what are you up to?
I haven't started BM dress shopping but I am planning on going next month and hopefully order them by December. I have started invites now and am on the lady's proof list. FH and I are getting our rings this month too.

Re: Summer girls- what are you up to?
I know what BM dresses I want to order, I just have to measure the girls and put the order in (I'm ordering from netbride) and I am hoping to do that by the middle to end of November...
I think I'm going to start ordering stuff like favors after the new year...I'm starting a veil search hopefully mid month. I'm avoiding looking at invitations...its stressing me out haha.
We NEED an officiant asap and I'd like to book a videographer and then after that the only other vendor we need is shuttles to/from the hotel to the RH.

Re: Summer girls- what are you up to?
Im pretty behind lol I just booked limos on Monday. Im working on booking a florist in the next few weeks. I have already done my makeup/ hair trial and booked someone. Im going to go for BM dresses within the next 2 weeks and have them ordered in November. I rather have my girls order them alittle before the holidays cause I know Dec. can be expensive. If I dont order the dresses in Nov. I'll be sure to order them in Jan. I also stil have to pick colors

Re: Summer girls- what are you up to?
I will be looking for BM dresses in Nov. and Hopefully ordering by Dec. I would also like my invites picked out by Jan. I am waiting for smaller things after the new year - like you. I think you can make a final decision by Jan. That should give you time!

Re: Summer girls- what are you up to?
I haven't even started my dress shopping yet. We're going bridesmaid dress shopping next Saturday. We haven't booked a florist yet either but booked all the other major vendors. Our photog is in the process of creating our save the date magnets. I have a million things that I haven't started doing yet, lol.

Re: Summer girls- what are you up to?
Ordered my dress, picked the bridesmaid dresses and have 6 of the 7 girls measured/ordered. Booked all the big things, ordered cookie favors, hotel block done, make-up/hair booked, honeymoon hotel booked but no airfare yet.
Haven't touched: flower girl dresses, shoes/veil/hair accessories, jewelry, invites, no engagement photos yet, no STD's yet, pre-cana in the spring, a million smaller things I haven't thought about yet too. But major things are pretty much taken care of!
