365 Days!

That's amazing, Nicole! You're totally on track!

Have you visited any bridal salons yet? Do you know what you're looking for in a dress?

I've gone to 2 salons and tried on a couple sample dresses at a bridal show. I've got 2 gowns coming in through Azazie to try on at home, plan on visiting a sample sale next week during the National Bridal Sale Event, and have an appointment at CocoMelody in August. I think I've tried on about 20 dresses or so in every silhouette and fabric. So far, I like lace A-line with appliques that move throughout the bodice onto the skirt. My current front-runner is the Hearst at BHLDN (Galatea from Willowby by Watters), but I'm wanting to see if I can find something that I like equally, if not more, at a lower price point. Not that the Hearst is a ton of money, but I know I want to do some alterations to the back if I go that route, and that will add extra to the price point.

Congratulations! We are getting married next Saturday but had a 19 month engagement so plenty of time, I remember one year out, so exciting!

That’s exciting! It will go by super quickly! I feel Like it was just yesterday we were at 365 now we are just below 150.

View Quoted Comment Congratulations! Any last minute details that you’re trying to iron out or are you just relaxing in this last week?

Basically just organizing all the decor and making sure we have everything! And finalizing counts & payments! Then a spa weekend for me and picking up my dress!

View Quoted Comment I know it will fly by, especially once summer is over and I’m back at work (teacher). My grade level partner is getting married on Saturday, so I’ve gotten to see how quickly this year goes up front! Congratulations to you! Do you have anything else you’re working on?

View Quoted Comment Yes! That’s exactly what I’m hoping my last couple of weeks will be! I’ll be looking forward to seeing your BAM!

View Quoted Comment On nice! I am a teacher as well! That’s part of the reason those days flew by lol. I am working on centerpieces and my fh and I are doing marriage counseling currently.

View Quoted Comment Woo for summer projects! Haha. I’ve already completed my table numbers, but we have to cut down some bottles for candles. My ultimate goal is to have everything, minus the seating chart, finalized and completed by the end of the school year next year so I can spend that last month just relaxing.

Congratulations! I understand the long engagement timeline! FH and I got engaged July 2017 and still have 79 days! This next year will go by quick I promise! It feels like just yesterday we were at the 1 year mark!

View Quoted Comment Yay for long engagements! Just means we’ll get exactly what we want! 😉 I bet the last 2.5 months will fly even faster!

You are absolutely right! We got to take our time planning because of the long engagement! And I hope so! Thank you so much!

Congrats! I’m with you and one year out. Of course you have WAY more done then I do. I feel like the real count down starts now.

View Quoted Comment Yay, date twin! What do you have left to do?

The only thing I have done is the venue chosen and secured. Ohhhh...I have save the dates as well. That’s it. Part of my hold up is FH doesn’t seem to understand that I need to secure everything now. He thinks we still have time and we should wait until January to really get things done.

Ahh! Only wanting to plan in 6 months?! That would drive me absolutely bonkers. Do you have an idea of who you want for your other vendors? I would stress to him the importance about booking your major vendors early, especially as I think our date will be pretty popular next year. Maybe compromise and try to at least get your photographer, DJ, and caterer booked?

Congrats!! Not a date twin, but I'm a year twin!!

We have 252 days until our wedding! I remember hitting our year mark in March and getting re-excited!! Haha.

View Quoted Comment Yay! That’s exciting! It’s definitely getting me back into the super-motivated-to-do-anything-wedding-related mood. 😂

Yes! 7/11/2020! We have a venue, photographer, and I have a dress!
