I've tried n a few dresses I really like one, but have a date in March to be my official dress shopping day. My question is, has anyone used USA bridal/bridal warehouse? If do how does it work there? Is there financing?

I plan to go dress shopping March 17, 2018. My wedding is October 6, 2018. Will that be enough time? I had weight loss surgery this past April and don't want to go too soon and have a dress that can't be altered down enough.

Booked the venue yesterday, put down the deposit and all. Thank God too because I woke up this morning to see they are changing packages add prices. My $350 wedding would have cost at last $500 under new pricing! So I got a steal since...

Is everyone having a cocktail hour? If so, what's included?

My wedding is over a 20 months away still and I'm already starting to plan. Is it too early? I've got my venue picked already, and searching for a caterer. Is it too early to be doing this?

What is your budget like? We aren't getting married until 10/06/18 and our budget it around $10,000 that includes our honeymoon, so more like $7,000 for the wedding. Just curious what everyone else was planning to spend....
