Help! August 2019 Brides

Kailyn, on March 19, 2019 at 8:04 AM Posted in Planning 0 24

I feel like I'm really behind on planning! We originally we're going to wait until next year but when touring our venue they had 8/3/19 open and we signed our contract 1/3/19. Where are my fellow August brides at in the planning process?

    Hi Kailyn! August 10th bride here!

    We still have to:
    -My hair trial: This Saturday
    -Decide on our baker
    -Order and mail invitations: Ordering next month
    -Order flower girl dresses: Ordering next month
    -Order my FH ring
    -Lock in ceremony details with our officiant (my FFIL)
    Those are the next tasks that we'll be knocking out between now and May. The remaining things are small tasks to make everything complete (decor for sweetheart table, centerpieces, accessories for our attire, make our day of timeline, etc).

    What do you have left to do?

    I’m not getting married in August but I think you are fine as long as you have a venue booked by now which you obviously do!

    Make sure to book your caterer, photographer, and officiant next. And start looking for dresses!

    Also getting married August 3rd! We started last September so I have most of the major vendors locked in.
    I think you still have time, just make sure lock in caterer and photographer soon!

    Hi there! We are getting married 8/16. I have everything under control with the exception of FH attire and wedding band, rehearsal plans, and where in the world I am getting ready (venue which has no dedicated bridal suite or our hotel that we will stay in that evening). I am worried about any details that I am forgetting, but have a wedding planner that keeps me on track so feeling relatively good.....I think. Lol! Smiley smile

    We're August 24.

    We have: my dress, the venue booked, STDs sent, DJ lined up, website half set up, bridal party nearly set, videographer lined up, precana attended... and that's it? I think?

    Sometimes I feel like I'm catching up, and other times I feel like I'm falling way behind.

    Hey!

    I'm an Aug 30th bride. It's so nice to see others feeling in the same boat. I feel a little lost as I'm planning from out of state. Currently I am working to finalize attire for everyone, hoping to schedule and meet with florist, makeup/hair, and bakery within the next month. This week planning to find and block hotel rooms. Oh, and also need to find and purchase wedding band for FH. Also lots of decor planning and making.. probably forgetting some stuff lol

    Getting married August 20th.

    This is what's done:
    -Ordered dress
    -booked venue
    -booked caterer
    -gave dress info to bridesmaids
    -brother in law officiating
    -friend djing (is a dj)
    -invites are in but not sent

    That's it.

    Things I'm thinking need to be done asap for us

    -lock down photographer
    -figure out florist
    -Grooms suit and groomsman suites
    -rings
    -centerpieces

    I'm doing my own hair and make up.

    Honestly as long as we have a when, where, and officiant the rest is just extra.
