Keyra, on February 21, 2022 at 12:03 PM Posted in Planning 5 79

So am I the only August bride stressing? There is so much I feel like I need to do but due to it still isn't quite close enough to my wedding to start. It's like I'm in limbo. I have booked everything there is to book. I just small little details I need to get.

    I feel the same way! I have mostly all vendors booked. Still need to figure out the cake and all the day of stationary stuff but I feel like that can wait. I’m also going back and forth on whether or not we need a getaway car and if I will do some sort of shuttle for the bridal party to get to the venue in. I’m constantly reading articles and finding new small stuff to add. I just need to stop!


    Good luck with the rest of your planning!

    Our date is 8/13 and I am also stressing. I completely stopped all wedding-related activities around Christmas and am starting to freak out about how much things are about to cost for the next 6 months 🥴

    We've got all our vendors booked, but I'm still trying to get a hold of the restaurant where we'd like to have our welcome dinner to make a reservation, and I'm trying to get a hold of the restaurant where we'll have our reception to figure out linens and room layout.

    I just ordered my jewelry/hair pins today and got some shoes on sale at Dillard's this weekend! We started shopping for FH's suit, and all but one of my bridesmaids has ordered a dress. For the most part I think I just have to track down the smaller details but I'm starting to worry I'm going to forget something.

    And it's a destination wedding so I can't go see anything beforehand and that's also stressing me out!

    Hello Keyra, I'm a June Bride and I know exactly how all of you August Brides feel. Our wedding was organized supposed to be June 9th 2023. However, we decided in January that we needed to have our wedding this June because my soon to be Mother in Love has dementia. Unfortunately, her memory is starting to decline. My fiancé and I want her to be an active part of our wedding. Due to this unpredictable condition we just don't want to change the possibility of her being physically unable to participate. We hired a wedding coordinator to help with the planning. This was the best idea for us,and it's allowed us to have some time to breathe. Hang in there....... it's going to all come together ❤️

    We are paying for decor so that covers the set up. My groomsmen went suit shopping and nobody remembers what suit they all picked so i have to go back the shop to find out so our jr groomsmen and ring bearer can match … I did find a cute planner at Ross and it’s helped me on where to start…

    Same here! Our date is 8/20/22. I have twin 7 month olds on top of wedding planning and working full-time, plus have to plan their 1-year-old birthdays in July. I decided to go ahead and hire a day-of coordinator that will also handle the decor. Because I don't want to decorate on my own. It actually is a huge weight lifted.

    Omg congrats on your beautiful twins!!! I can only imagine I'm struggling with working out in the mornings, working 40 plus hrs a week, and planning my wedding. I can't imagine adding little ones on top of that. I have a day of coordinator as well! She does decor as well so I'm blessed to not have that struggle. One thing I'm lost about is if I need to have signage for stations or does she provide it but since she does decor she is booked literally every Saturday. She told me once it gets closer to the wedding we can discuss it in more detail.

    My coordinator is going to meet with me once a month starting next month I think. I am going to be creating my own signage. The only thing I have left to book is the cake vendor. We got some samples last week that were horrible! Try to stay stress-free! Best of luck!

    It's okay some people work well under pressure and some are planners. You go this! Take it day by day. 1st find your venue so many places could be booked so if you are planning to get married this year confirm that first. Check hotels' ballrooms they could possibly give you some good room deals as well then you will be killing 2 birds with one stone.

    Our wedding is also 8/20/22. We just decided to go with a different photographer after not liking our engagement photos and now I have to do the awkward talk of canceling our first photographer. 🥴 he’s a family friend as well so risking ruining my

    Hey twin!! Oh, yea that's definitely awkward but at least you found out before your wedding day. Have you found a new photographer yet?
